Eating Healthier Starting Today!

When I was a child, I spent a few years being terribly overweight. Thanks to the many hours I spent learning about how to make better food choices and several degrees later, I was able to come up with a fantastic way to eat for energy and good health.

It's not easy for me to stay trim. When you are overweight as a child, the fat cells have a tendency to plump up in no time.

now, I eat to be trim and stay healthy. Plus, I like to feel energetic. And my grocery shopping trips are no longer overwhelming. There are so many processed foods that should be avoided...especially when it comes to our health!!

Yesterday, I had the fortunate experience to be able to meet and talk with clinical nutritionist, Beatriz Gallager, CNS. I wanted to hear what she had to say about food. So, I asked her to tell me what two foods I should avoid.

Her reply was just as I had hoped for. She told me to stay away from the artificial sweetener, aspartame. In fact, I don't use any artificial sweeteners. I would never feed them to children, either!

Secondly, she said to avoid any or all foods that have been microwaved. (In fact, I have my microwave hidden behind cabinet doors. If my spouse didn't purchase the microwave, it wouldn't be there at all...)

Then, Beatriz Gallagher, told me to try the following experiment: Put two potted plants on your counter. water the first plant with tap water. water the second plant with water that has been microwaved to the boiling point- and then cooled to room temperature. water and take care of the plants, as needed. Yet, water each one the same way for 7 days. The first one should receive tap water. The second plant should receive the boiled/microwaved water.

One of the plants dies. Can you guess which one that would be?

The bottom line is that we have to feed our bodies good, nutritious foods. Unfortunately, in America many of the food choices we have been hoodwinked into believing are good for us...are not! And, in turn, they make us look and feel worse.
