Food and Nutrition Ideas For Keeping Healthy
Food and Nutrition sustain us so we can live, work, think, and play. It’s vital to pay attention to what we put in our bodies. Take time to learn about this vital topic by looking at the Blog articles for recipes you might like to try. You’ll also find discussion of nutrition and how important it is. Not to say you can’t have a bag of Cheetos or a candy bar once in a while as a reward, but limit those things. Over the long haul, you body will thank you by giving you a healthy place to “live in”.
When you are shopping for groceries, “shop around the outside walls of the store”. What that means is pick from the produce department, dairy and meats (prefer lean), and reduce going to the center aisles for crackers, chips, processed and prepared foods. Think whole grains, try new vegetables, Greek Yogurt, and lots of fruits.
Remember, you are what you eat!
