Have you decided that it's time to take better care of your body? Maybe you've noticed that you just don't feel as well as you should. Or, it could be that you've chosen to lose weight or to gain some pounds. For whatever reason that you have decided to change your eating habits, from growing some of your own vegetables to finding stores that carry organic bread, here are some ideas on how you can plan healthy meals:

Take Some Classes - You have probably already been reading books and magazine articles that teach you about healthy cooking and healthy eating. In addition, you've probably gotten a lot of good ideas from just sitting at your computer. Think about putting the things you learned into practice step-by-step.

• For example, you might be concerned about some of the pollutants that could be in the soil where store bought vegetables are grown. If that is the case, consider growing your own produce. Take a class on gardening in your area of the United States.
• Another idea is to take a class that specializes in preparing healthy foods. Check out your local library to see if classes are taught there. If they are, you might not have to pay a single penny for them.

Shop For Organic Food Products - Many grocery stores now carry organic foods. If your grocery store doesn't, then consider going to a store that specializes in health products and organic foods.

• Did you grow up hearing that bread is the staff of life? Your mother and your grandmother might have even made their own breads. If you are not inclined to do so yourself, think about finding out where organic bread is sold. The great part of choosing organic breads is that, besides being made with healthy natural ingredients, they probably won't contain harmful chemicals.
• Shop for organic fruits and vegetables, too. Talk to your butcher to find out which meats are grown organically so that you can be assured you are not eating harmful substances.

As you learn more about how to plan healthy meals, think about buying a notebook that has dividers in it. One of the sections could be for recipes that you have found you like and another section could be for the names of stores where you have found the best organic breads and other organic products. In addition, think about keeping a journal of how your body feels after you begin eating healthier foods.
