Eating locally

Local food does not really have a definite definition, I can say it to be food that is
produced around a geographical area and consumed by the people around the area. These are
mainly products from farming. Local foods have environmental, economic, and healthy benefits.
Therefore, it is essential to implement local diet through the following process.(Caspi, Sorensen,
Subramanian, & Kawachi, 2012)
Set up a healthy eating environment .Make a schedule of what local food you will eat,
prepare it and set up the table avoid any disturbances because it will lead to overeating, avoid
surfing while eating or watching television, concentrate on the food.(Caspi et al., 2012)
Incorporate the local diet eating habit into your social activities. Food plays an important
role in social activities for instance when going out with your friends instead of doing a barbecue
you can opt to carry vegetables and fruits from home. (Caspi et al., 2012)
Surround yourself with a family that feeds on a local diet. The environment affects what
we take hence we should incorporate local diet at our homes and influence the friends and family...
