Everything she ever needed

  Amanda used to rush through her mornings, grabbing a sugary pastry and coffee, barely tasting it before her day began. By noon, she’d feel sluggish, reaching for chips or fast food to push through. One evening, after yet another energy crash, her grandmother handed her a bowl of vibrant greens, roasted sweet potatoes, and grilled salmon.  


“The Earth already give everything we need,” her grandmother said. “But if you treat your body like rubbish, it will feel like rubbish.”  


Curious, Amanda started small, swapping her pastry for a smoothie, her chips for nuts and fruit. She learned to savor her meals, to cook with spices that delighted her senses. Weeks later, she noticed the difference: steady energy, clearer skin, even a brighter mood.  


One day, a coworker asked, “How do you have so much energy?” Amanda smiled. “I stopped eating like the world was ending and started eating like my body mattered.”  


Turns out, her grandmother was right. The best medicine wasn’t in a pill, but on her plate.
