Objective:
Achieve maximum energy levels through healthy eating.
- Cook easy
and nutritious meals.
- Eat more raw
fruits and vegetables.
- Eat less
fried foods.
To Do:
Go online and pull up new recipes, Bake a new dish each
week.
Serve healthy food at
home. We all tend to eat what is easy, quick and readily available. Keep a
big bowl of apples, oranges and bananas in sight, on the counter, so when
you get a sweet craving, or the nibbles, you have something nutritional to
munch on.
Fill snack size zipper bags full of washed
grapes and put them in the fridge for a quick, fun, sweet treat or
on-the-go snack.
Eliminate junk food from your diet. It's a
good idea to put all of that Halloween candy in a freezer bag and save it
for a rainy day. No need to live off your stash with the holidays around
the corner - and more treats on the way. Give yourself a few week breather
from junk food. See if you can hold out until Thanksgiving.
Drink plenty of sugar-free liquids. Water
is always a good choice, and so is green tea -rich in antioxidants and
nutrients.
At least try giving up soda and sugary
colas for a few weeks. You'll be doing your teeth a favor.
Buy or check out from the library, a book on nutrition
and after reading it, implement three new things you have learned.
Juice. Juicers are quite inexpensive now,
and are a great investment in our health. Experts tell us we should eat
five to eight fruits and vegetables a day - that means the raw kind.
French Fries and Potato chips don't count as vegetables, neither does
apple pie.
Juice smoothies are a fantastic breakfast.
At our house, we juice carrots and then throw the juice in the blender
with a few bananas, or apples, protein powder, Knox gelatin to help the
joints, and some flax seed oil and Viola! We're good to go until lunch
time.
