The wake-up call for Paige Walsh occurred during a regular check-up. She says, “My blood pressure was higher than it should have been and I wasn’t even forty yet.
“She first startled me. She considered herself to be not unwell. But with long days, quick lunches, and job pressure, something had slipped.
Paige, resolved to act, focused on supper, the one meal under her most influence. “I could not always control my day; but, I could choose what went on my plate at night.”
She concentrated on cooking smarter instead than plunging into convoluted cookbooks or cutting everything out. Leaning on herbs, citrus, and spices, she cut the salt in her meals without sacrificing taste.
She avoided strong sauces or too processed shortcuts and experimented with basic meals using fresh foods.
She was shocked by her feelings later, not by the flavor of the food. “After a clean, balanced dinner, I had energy once more. I used to feel exhausted at the end of the day.”
Her nights found serenity as well from the new schedule. Cooking became as her reset button—a relaxing hobby that enabled her to go from work mode into something more deliberate.
Paige set no standards for perfection. Takeout dinners and hectic evenings with leftovers persisted.
Most of the time, though, she created meals from scratch using what she had and scheduled just one or two days forward. It started to have a beat. Not a law.
Her blood pressure had steady few months in. She was happy as was her doctor. More than the statistics, though, Paige valued the way her new dinners made her feel: fed, powerful, and once more totally in charge of her health.
