One of the themes that I write about is the consumption of enough fruit and vegetables during the day to (at least) meet the 5-a-day target. One of the discussions that I have with people that continues to surprise me is the lack of planning that goes into people's meals.
Apart from the logic that it helps to focus your shopping habits (at your local shops, supermarket, or wherever you go), it gives you the opportunity to determine how much of your diet is good quality nutritious food. By taking the time out to do this you can make immediate (and sometimes dramatic) improvements to the quality of your diet.
Now, here's the interesting bit - where you put your focus on your meal planning can make the schedule of meals entirely different. If your focus was on consuming more vegetables then this could be the start point for when thinking about what meals to have. For example, say you wanted to eat brocolli and carrots - what would go with them? You come up with an idea and there you are, you have a meal that contains the right amount of vegetables for you.
Whatever your focus or needs are for achieving your health objectives apply it to your meal planning. Take the small amount of time that it requires and reap the rewards.
"Alkaline all the way!"
