More About My Health & Wellness Journey
Welcome to IN2, I'm ChristineMarie.
My Health & Wellness Journey was not always as Healthy & Well as I thought it was. I used to make "A Wonderland of Desserts" (Mainly over the Holidays > Praise the Lord) until I found out just how much not all chocolate, sugar, oils, etc., are created equal. I also used to struggle with health problems such as high cholesterol. I am thankful I have always eaten much nutritious food as well; without fruits to vegetables, my health would have been worse, and I am an active person. I now avoid processed foods, fast foods, added sugar, refined sugar, etc., as much as possible. My Health is headed back in the right direction.
For years, I have been transforming recipes to be more nutritious and still taste delicious. I have helped others transform recipes as well. I now also make some of my own recipes. Of course, dessert is still on my recipe menu; however, I am much more selective about the ingredients I use in everything I make.
I decided to create Intelligent Ingestion to reach out and help others improve their nutrition also. Many still do not realize how important proper nutrition is to function well. According to the CDC, poor nutrition is making people sick and impacting the economy: Fewer than 1 in 10 children and adults eat the recommended daily amount of vegetables. Only 4 in 10 children and fewer than 1 in 7 adults eat enough fruit (Why It Matters | Nutrition | CDC). Poor nutrition contributes to many costly diseases; good nutrition helps us live longer by lowering the risk for serious health problems such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, cancers, etc.
