Wow, it has been 6 days of eating clean and I really do feel better. Is it easy? It has been. We have gone from no frying, canned or boxed items at all, to everything fresh. For instance we are going to make spaghetti it will be fresh not from a can and not from a Jar. I was shocked to see all the things that are in a Jar of Spaghetti. For instance the average intake is 2400 milligrams of sodium a day however, the older we get the less sodium we should take in.

One of my favorite spaghetti sauces I use has 450mg of sodium then I add a package of seasoning and that has 650 mg of sodium and then we add the Parmesan Cheese and that has 150 mg of Sodium WOW that is 3650mg of Sodium and we have even added the noodles or the meat and that is just one meal. Yes, I know your not going to eat the entire meal but lets face it Americans eat more then a normal portion as it is. If I divide it up into 4 servings we are consuming at one meal 912.50mg of sodium in one meal. We know that on aveage that is on the low side because as I stated earlier most americans don't eat the correct portion of food. With that said, that still puts us over by 300+ mg of Sodium a day. I haven’t even touched on the sugar or any of the chemicals that are in jar or can of spaghetti.

Dan and I are only doing this for 30 days, however I will do my hardest to be more in tune with what I am putting in my body. I will still like to have all the yummie food I like but I would like to do in moderation because I love cooking. I don't want to go back to eating the way we did or intaking all the sodium and sugar we have done. We wonder why we all feel so tired and people have high blood pressure becasue we are killing ourselves. After all what do we have to gain ? EVERYTHING!!
