Eating over-processed food is damaging to your metabolism. The fresher the food you eat the healthier it is.
Do you want potato chips, re-fried beans, rice? Make them yourself. It is cheaper and healthier, with no preservatives and way less salt ingredients.
Let's put it this way: If it doesn't spoil fast, then don't eat it.
Staying healthy is very important for us not only not to be over weight or to avoid diseases like diabetes, hypertension, etc, but also to bring positive energy into our lives. Feeling good is not only about expecting others to say hello to us, it's much more than that and so simple:
1) Avoid Anxiety
2) Do not over eat
3) Exercise at least 4 times a week
4) Eat healthy
5) Have fun in everything you do in life.

More to the point, if it is home cooked with fresh ingredients, it tastes better and, more importantly, you know what goes in it.
ReplyDeleteMany people eat fast food and ready meals because, they say, they do not have time. As long as you have either fridge or freezer you can manage it. Spend some of your Sunday pre-cooking food. Make use of take away trays that you can buy by the dozen, and fill them with real food. Write the contents and the date on the top and then pop them into the freezer. That way you have a ready meal, ready to go, but with real food inside. Not too much salt and no preservatives.
Failing that, stir frys are easy or, if you have a caserole dish, fry up some meat in the morning with onions and garlic. Add red wine and boil this down. Pop this into a caserole dish with water and stock then leave on a low heat until you get home at night. When you get in, part boil some veg and drop it into the pot for about 1/2 hour to an hour, with some dumplings. Then you can have as a bowl of stew or with mash. Easy.
Healthy eating isn't hard. You just need to do a bit of forward planning.
