FEATURE OF THE MONTH
THE SECRET TO A LONG LIFE
Don't Eat Dead Food!
As a nation we're a bit fat. We eat too much of the wrong type of foods. With technology on the rise, we don't burn many calories. Half or more of what we eat is "dead" food. Dead food has no nutrients. We call it dead because refining takes out almost all of its vitamins, minerals and fiber. It's super-tasy, super-digestible and you can eat a mountain of it without feeling full. But it's dead, and it's making us sick and fat.
How? Stored body fat causes inflammation, the prime source of strokes, cancers, diabetes - all the bad boys. Plus, it makes you look funny and feel bad about yourself.
WHAT IS DEAD FOOD?
- Filler- This is everything we're taught to love: bread, white rice, white pasta, sugar (white death), chips, soft drinks.
- Processed Food- Prepared items top this list: frozen meals, snacks, desserts. And weird stuff like ketchup.
- Fast Food- Think of your beloved french fries, cheeseburgers, milk shakes, griddle cakes and anything else that can be fried.
AN EATING STRATEGY FOR LIFE
- Build the perfect plate - Your plate should be 50 percent veggies and fruit, 25 percent whole grains, and 25 percent meat, poultry or fish.
- Quit the clean plate club - Your sainted mother was wrong-it's bad to clean your plate. The iron rule: Exercise more; eat less.
- Don't drink your calories - Sugar-laden colas, milk shakes and sports drinks are awash in calories but don't make you feel full.
- Limit the booze - Having one or two glasses of wine a night is fine. Having 10 is not!
DID YOU TAKE A PHYSICAL EXAM THIS YEAR?
Remember, always seek guidance from
your doctor or dietitian before
altering your diet.
