Stocking A Healthy Pantry
Welcome to
Nutrition Basics
Are you tired of being overwhelmed with complicated and often conflicting messages from the diet and health industry? This blog is about learning to let go of gimmicky eating and discovering how easy making healthy food choices can be!
About Angela Pifer
I'm a certified nutritionist, blogger, writer, and mom. My passion is teaching people how to live a healthy diet-free life. Most of us don't grow up with an education in nutrition. The food companies and the diet industry take advantage of this fact by marketing foods and products as healthy, when they're not. Eating healthy shouldn't and isn't a complicated process. I want to help people make sense of this information by transforming these conflicting messages into a simple straight forward plan of action towards better health.
