Reading food labels...
One of the easiest way to make sure you are putting healthy foods into you mouth is by reading food labels. Don't eat foods that have things such as corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, honey, molasses, dextrose, or any other word that has 'sugar" in the list of ingredients. Not all "fat free" foods are good for you either, most of them contain more sugar making them a worst choice.What ingredients to look for in skincare products
1. Anti-inflammatory aid – New anti-aging products are packed full of ingredients that are used as anti-inflammatories. Deep set lines and wrinkles are being treated like wounds with new “healing” creams.
20 worst foods to eat
1. Worst fast-food chicken meal
Chicken Selects Premium Breast Strips from McDonald's (5 pieces) with creamy ranch sauce
830 calories
55 grams (g) fat (4.5 g trans fat)
48 g carbohydrates
The only thing "premium" about these strips is the caloric price you pay. Add a large fries and regular soda and this seemingly innocuous chicken meal tops out at 1,710 calories.
Food - Organic vs Natural
I was out food shopping with a friend for Baby J and her boyfriend ;) Baby M. We saw many products labeled organic and natural and wondered what the real difference was. After some research on the USDA site Baby M's mom discovered the following and I thought I would pass it along.Eating Better Than Organic
Not long ago I had an apple problem. Wavering in the produce section of a Manhattan grocery store, I was unable to decide between an organic apple and a nonorganic apple (which was labeled conventional, since that sounds better than "sprayed with pesticides that might kill you"). It shouldn't have been a tough choice--who wants to eat pesticide residue?--but the organic apples had been grown in California.
All About Bread: Whole Wheat, Whole Grain, and Sprouted
I'm sure most of us couldn't imagine a life without bread: sandwiches, toast, bread baskets, bread bowls, and so forth. It is an integral part of our food culture and seems to be a major player in every meal. However, with the rise of low carb diets, the concept of "good carbs" and "bad carbs," plus the new offerings of "whole wheat" everything, it's easy to get confused about which breads are healthy and which are not.
The Truth About Granola Bars
This post is inspired by something I found in my cabinet today: a Nature's Valley Strawberry Yogurt granola bar. I don't eat granola bars (for the reasons you'll read later in this post) but I picked the thing up just to read the label for kicks. Most people think granola bars are the prime example of a healthy snack.
The Truth About Vitamin Water
This may be a touchy subject because I know how many avid Vitamin Water drinkers are out there, especially in our increasingly health-conscious (but misinformed) society. However, it's time to face the facts!
Vitamin Water gives the illusion of a healthy, hydrating, and rejuvenating miracle elixir.
