Health knowledge made personal
|
A doctor has had this "processed food" on her counter since the 2010 and 2011 dates posted above "to show people what they are putting into their bodies." This is man-made "processed food," not real food like we should be eating. Over time, real food will decay, grow mold and produce a decomposing odor. This "processed food" has not done any of that. In fact, it has maintained its original size, shape and texture. Kinda scary, right? Our bodies have to work so much harder to break down and digest this junk. If that's not enough to make us want to give up fast food, consider this:
I know sometimes it is inevitable and we have to eat fast food for convenience, time, travel, financial reasons, etc. And their are some fast food restaurant chains that have a few healthier options, but for the most part, it is all JUNK. For your own health's sake, try to limit your )and your family's) fast food consumption. TIP: I try to always have snacks with me and keep a lunchbox full of goodies in my car if I know I'm going to be away from home for awhile. (I pack things like raw almonds, natural granola bars, jerkey, an apple, etc.) Not only does this help me keep my blood sugar stabilized (so I'm less grumpy/moody) I'm also not tempted to pull through the drive-thru. Also, since there are times when we do have to stop (like when we're traveling or on a youth retreat or soemthing), I try to either stick with Subway OR ask for a nutrition guide so I can choose the healthiest possible option. Yep, I'm that girl who always asks for a nutrition guide or looks at the one they have posted (it's usually hidden somewhere). I wanna know what I'm putting in my body.
