Today in the office, we had a lecture on Nutrition. It was a good discussion and immediately I thought I should share it with my friends.
The Presenter talked about the Dead & Living foods and the importance of physical exercise in our life.
Living food | Dead food |
Fresh Fruits, Veggies | Partially Hydogenated Oils, Trans fat |
Organic Cheese, Milk, Butter | Margarine |
Protein Rich Beans | Certain Cheeses like American Cheese |
Whole Grains | Processed foods |
Organic Meat | Fastfood like Hamburger, French Fries |
Good Fats in Nuts | Cakes & Cookies |
Sugary Breakfast Cereals & sugary Juice | |
Processed Meat | |
Hotdogs |
After the lecture, I felt glad that wellness awareness is gradually spreading across people. Whenever I talk about these things to anybody, they reply back asking "Are you dieting?". I don't follow any weight loss diet or weight gain diet. Instead I have my own LIFESTYLE – “Eat Healthy; Live Healthy & Happily; Die Happily”
My simple Tips for buying snacks for kids:
I strongly agree that we should be clear & know what we eat. GOOD HEALTH would be the greatest treasure ever we can give for our loving kids.
I'll keep updating the list whenever I get reminded of something:
- So look for less number of Ingredients
- Avoid food with Trans fats, high amount of Sugar & Sodium
- BIG NO to HFCS(High Fructose Corn Syrup), MSG(Monosodium Glutamate or Ajinomoto), Artificial Flavors, food Colors, Maltodextrin
- I totally avoid Refined Flour, Sugar, Processed foods, Genetically Modified foods
- I never buy canned food or pickles, rarely I may buy bottled pickles
- Avoid Ingredients whcih you cannot read or pronounce
- When it comes to snacks for kids, go for Organic option. As such snacks doesn't provide any nutritional value, atleast organic snacks will have no secondhand ingredients.
