It is not possible for all to do all the things on this list – it is obvious that if you live in an apartment on 32nd floor in New York it’ll be difficult to grow your own vegetables, a good alternative is to buy organic grown vegetables. For many it may also be a problem to find organically grown vegetables close by. Organic green super food and vitamin/mineral supplements can be a good choice if you can’t find organic products.

Start out small – set goals!
My best advice is that you sit down with your spouse, partner, and or kids and discuss what changes you wish and need to do in your life in order to possess a more natural and healthy lifestyle. You don't have to implement all 12 tips on healthy living at once. Start with one or two. When you make this a family matter it is easier to accomplish as you can support one another when necessary. It is most probable you have different wishes and needs. Write down your goal and put them on a place where you easily can see them. Don't try to change everything from one day to another. Take one step at a time. Soon it will become a fresh habit and then you can introduce the next step. If you do this you may find that it is not hard. And when you notice the effect it has on yourself you will be inspired to continue, the ball is spinning.

Example of a goal could be:
• I would like to lose xx pounds
• I would like to get rid of my belly fat
• I would like more energy
• I would like to cure my colon problems
• I don’t want to expose my children for additives, artificial preservatives or pesticides

Your goal should be to live a HAPPY NATURAL LIFE! Remember it is never too late to start – Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Start implementing some of the tips on healthy living today.
