I am sure you have heard me many times comparing the food we consume to the fuel we put in the engines of the motor vehicles we operate. A high-performance vehicle requires high-octane fuel. If you want a high-performing body you need high-octane food.

What does it take to get that high-octane food or fuel? Intention and attention. If you have the intention and make it a priority you will ask questions and find out where to get it in your community. Finding high-octane food for your body might be out of your normal route, or normal routine. It might even be further than what you are used to. Great masses of people drive great distances to big-box wholesalers to get food for their families to save a buck. It is possible to find healthy food at these wholesalers, that is not the focus here. The focus is that many people normalize the effort and intention around such a big-box grocery run but when asked to go a bit further to find healthy food they balk. Example: I know someone who lives in a small town who drove over an hour to pick up a case of special motor oil for their motorcycles but hadn’t thought to drive the same distance to find good, healthy food. Start up a conversation today with a coworker or spend some time on the internet finding a place near you (or maybe a bit further) that sells healing food and make a point to go there. Even if it is out of your comfort zone.
