It doesn’t always go to plan, does it? Sometimes life throws you a curve ball. The world shifts, and you have to simply do your best in a changed situation. You’re tired. Stressed. Falling behind with your work.

That’s when you need, more than anything, not to drop the ball with regard to the kind of food you eat. You have to pay more attention because you need good nutrition just to get through the day, the week, the year.

In emergency situations you can survive on bread, cheese, tomatoes and cups of tea—even for a week at a time. But when the emergency is over and the long haul of getting used to a changed life is in front of you, that’s the time to pay especial care to your eating habits.

Lots of vegetables cooked together is a good option. Lots of fruit, raw and eaten singly, is another. This is a time for simple preparation but food full of goodness.

And when you’re eating well, life’s not so depressing after all.
