Moms discuss the art of buying health foods
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Mary Goulet and Heather Reider talk about nutrition from a motherly standpoint, giving practical advice about how to navigate the day and the aisles of the grocery store without succumbing to bad nutrition.
Following are some tips for watching what you eat more closely.
Eating better foods is a sure way to boost your energy.
Surrounding yourself with more vegetables, fruits, and whole grains is one way to make a positive change to your daily energy levels.
Refined sugar, white flour, and a lack of vegetables won't keep you going for very long.
In fact, eating junk food will actually decrease your energy.
One great way to judge your pantry is to see how many processed and packaged foods you eat.
Having a Pop-Tart in the morning instead of oatmeal and fruit is one way to kiss your valuable energy good-bye.
Following the simple healthy lifestyle tips of more vegetables, fruits, and whole grains is as easy as throwing those junk foods out of your pantry and kitchen.
One of our moms, Diane, says, "Now that I make apples available for snacks instead of Chee�tos, my kids and I have developed a taste for them.
Have you ever noticed that the best foods for you are around the edges of the grocery store?
For the most part, the fresh produce, fish, chicken, meat, and dairy surround the inner aisles.
Little meals are more fun, because they are more frequent and they fit into your busy schedule.
If you drink coffee or iced tea all day long, you are constantly being pumped up by an outside substance, and then deserted once the substance is out of your system.
We often eat when we are actually just thirsty.
Next time you want to eat when it isn't time for a snack or meal, drink a glass of water first and see if you feel as hungry.
