The Power of Awareness and Gradual Change Changing food habits rooted in decades of tradition is not easy, but awareness is the first step toward change. When we realize the damage a soda or an overly salty meal does to the delicate vessels of the heart, our choices become more conscious. Starting change by removing just one of these items or replacing it with a healthy option can make the difference between life and death over the course of a year. Health is not a destination, but a path built by our small daily choices.
