Five Simple Ways to Live a Natural Lifestyle

What does it look like to live a “Natural Lifestyle”?
There are all kinds of different definitions for the word “natural”.   Many foods are labeled “natural” in an attempt to appeal to the conscientious consumer.  Corn growers pay for advertisements that say that High Fructose Corn Syrup is “natural”.  Well, sure it is…in a loose sense of the word I suppose, but that doesn’t make it good for us.  Shucks…arsenic is natural.
My own definition of living a ”Natural Lifestyle” I suppose would be “getting back to the basics”.  Whether we’re talking about food, family choices, in general taking care of ourselves…doesn’t it just sound refreshing to “get back to the basics”?
Here are five simple ways I’d like to suggest to live a more Natural Lifestyle:
1.  Eat Real Food
Yes, you’re so surprised I listed this one aren’t you?  Real food is best.  Food in it’s natural form.  Food that isn’t processed.  Food that tastes so stinkin’ good you don’t know what to do with yourself!!!  It’s amazing what food without chemicals tastes like!
Need a little help getting started?  Here are some links to past series I’ve written about how I feed my family and about why I feel real food is best:

• How I Feed My Family
• Getting Real With Food
• Our Healthy Eating Journey
• Simple Steps Toward Healthy Eating (I’m still working on this series…stay tuned!)

2.  Drink Water
I already wrote about how you should drink more water and told you about some healthy alternatives to soda and other not-so-good-for-you beverages.  But really…one of the simplest (and cheapest!) ways for you to adopt a more natural lifestyle is to stop filling your body with icky beverages and just drink water.
3.  Exercise
Yeah, and this advice is coming from me…the girl who doesn’t really like to exercise.  Guess what though?!  My husband and I have made it a point to exercise together three days a week for the past few weeks and I’m actually starting to like it!  I’ve heard people say that once you start exercising regularly, you begin to crave it.  I never believed them.  Until now.
It’s really not as hard as you think, but exercising is just like anything else you need to be doing…YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO DO IT.  I know, profound. The main idea is this:  Do what you can to not be sedentary.
A side benefit of exercising:  You’ll crave more water and more real foods.  Yeah, somehow having a candy bar and soda after exercising feels a little silly.  Water and fruit sounds much better.
4.  Stay Home More
This may seem like a weird item for our Natural Lifestyle list…but it doesn’t get much simpler or more natural than this.  Stay home more. You’ll save money, your vehicles will last longer…and joy of joys…you may not be so worn out all the time!  I find that when I’m running from here to there and back again…I am completely exhausted AND behind on all the work I need to do at home.  We don’t need THAT much outside “stuff”.  When you’re home more…you’ll find you’ll be more rested and more relaxed…naturally.
5.  Waste Less
The more natural your lifestyle, the less waste you’ll have.  If you make your food from scratch, you’ll have a lot less packaging trash.  If you serve smaller portions and make it a point to eat leftovers, you’ll throw away less food.  If you don’t buy stuff you don’t need, you’ll waste a LOT less money.  If you use cloth napkins and let your kids draw on used scratch paper, you’ll save a lot of trees.  None of these things are hard.  You just have to be a bit more intentional.
And then of course there are all kinds of other things I’d recommend as you work your way to a more Natural Lifestyle, like planting a garden, buying locally grown produce and other foods, getting good sleep and eating lots of chocolate.

Just kidding. Chocolate may be natural, but eating lots of it would be “The Simplest way to Gain Five Pounds”.  That‘s another post for another day.
