Have you eaten home cooked meals every night this week? Maybe you can’t cook that well, or are so busy with work and other commitments that you rely- constantly- on that delivered junk food to survive.
However, have you ever asked yourself if the food you are eating actually nourishes you, or kills you slowly but surely? Sure it may be filling but that is primarily because it is filled with all the bad stuff you could read right from a cancer guide book.
Before you succumb to the harmful substances of fast food, why not try to go for healthier meals and consequently, a healthier you.
No, healthier meals need not be prepared for 30 minutes in the kitchen – something you do not have the luxury of. There are actually supermarket items that you could put in your basket without feeling guilty!
Instead of eating a burger and fries while on your break, try a healthy alternative such as an apple or fruit of some sort. Not only are these substitutes healthy for you, but you can also save quite a bit of money when you purchase them – and they fill you up just as much as fast food does.
In the morning, try cereal or eggs for breakfast. These are extremely easy and quick to make, and you can add an orange or some other type of fruit to the mix if you want.
It is also wise to eat small snacks during the day consisting of healthy foods. This can be a bunch of nuts, dried fruits or a few pieces of turkey to hold you over until your next meal.
We are all humans, and humans have urges that sometimes need to be fulfilled. It is okay to eat fast food once in awhile – it would be abnormal not to – just make sure it isn’t all the time; this will reduce the chance for disease and help you live a healthier, more balanced lifestyle.
