Tips for starting a Blue Zones Diet: Initially any new diet, especially a one that is mainly plant based & very low intake of meat, might be little tough to implement for most people but with these tips, it gets much easier. Like they say, “ Most of us are on a ‘sea-food’ diet – so if you are putting that junk food away and you put in a fruit bowl, it might get easier. One of the best things to do is build your social network in such a way, that you have a couple of other people who eat this way. Take time out to learn some recipes that you like as per your own taste with your kind of spices, as taste will also be a factor in what you decide to eat. People eat this way basically for three reasons. Firstly, to improve one’s health, secondly, its good for the environment & thirdly, it reduces animal cruelty. But people will always want to eat what’s delicious for them so most important is taste. But at the end of the day, everyone is so individualized and has different levels of activity, different mental conditions & different things going on with their body where they might need more or less of something. This diet is just a good way to start implementing good & clean eating but slowly & steadily as per the body needs. Eat clean, live healthy & always remember healthy living rocks!
