Over the past 2 weeks I have finally done what I've never fully been able to commit to. I've started eating healthy. And honestly, 2 weeks in, I feel Great!! The reward from my diet has been so staggering to me that I feel I will never go back. Now, I must say that my diet before was poor. drank a lot of Mountain Dew, dew on the grass of the gods, and probably ate out 4-5 times a week. I've completely went cold turkey on all of those things and it's been awesome! My joints feel better, I have had more energy, my body feels better when I work out, and, honestly, my performance at work has improved. I even feel likes the circulation throughout my body is better.
Some of the changes I have made, specifically:
I eat blueberries every day. Wild blueberries are the best if you can find them. What's interesting about blueberries is that in case studies, even people with healthy diets, saw increased health benefits when they added blueberries to their diet. I'm a believer! I'd highly recommend you read this article:

Scholarly work. Very interesting.
Additionally, I have been eating Salmon 2 two times a week. I'd recommend Wild Alaskan. You can do the research but you'll find that's consistently regarded as perhaps the healthiest. Salmon is incredibly good for your brain.
I use to snack mindlessly on things like chips and candy bars, but instead I've switched to bananas, carrots, almonds, and instead of drinking soda, I have switched to drinking Izze's. It's 70% pure fruit juice with sparkling water. You can get a 24 pack at Costco for like 13 bucks. I think they taste great and I do know there are better beverage choices from a nutrition standpoint, but I wasn't totally ready to give up soda and this is a much better alternative than Mountain Dew or Coke. Lot less sugar and the other crap in soda that causes weight gain and inflammation in your body, which has been linked to practically every significant illness a person can have.
Another thing I've done is I've added Greek yogurt and eggs into my diet. Eggs are very interesting. I read a book by Americas brain Doctor Eric Braverman called younger brain sharper mind. In it he talks in detail about how eggs actually increase 3 of the 4 essential chemicals of brain Chemistry, Namely acetylcholine, Dopamine and serotonin. All of these are incredibly important for different reasons. I'll detail that later. Additionally, eggs are natures perfect protein, egg yolk, though previously thought bad for us, is very good. It's full of dietary fiber and contains Choline which coats the electrical network of your brain and makes it so the power cords of your brain, so to speak, do not burn up. It's great for memory and linking ideas together.
Greek yogurt is also very good. It boosts brain power.
I've also been drinking more water which is an obvious must.
Anyway, if you have any suggestions please share, or any questions I'll answer to the best of my ability. I'll continually post in regards to my experiences along the way.
