Ever wonder why in the world there is so much made of eating healthy? I mean…when I eat a big fat cheeseburger I feel fine. Not to mention the large order of fries and a milkshake to wash it all down…so what’s the big deal anyway? Well the deal is that eating big fat cheeseburgers all the time along with greasy fries will shorten my lifespan considerably. Ok…I guess it is a big deal after all.
If eating healthier causes us to live longer then I guess by letting our kids see us eat healthier has to classify as setting a good example. Kids often emulate their parents in both good and bad habits. Good eating habits is one we definitely need to pass on. I see too many children these days being raised on “Happy Meals.” Ugh…poor little arteries.
Eating right has many other benefits that are often overlooked. The proper diet can help control things like high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity and many more. Eating right also simply makes you feel better…both mentally and physically. You have more natural energy and you don’t tire out as quickly as someone who lives on junk food. Why rely on high powered energy drinks to help you get through your day when a simple dietary plan can do the same thing…only in a much healthier way.
Well we have covered many reasons to eat better but one many don’t realize is that in the long run it will save you lots and lots of money. Eating fast food all the time is very expensive. Cooking for yourself is more cost friendly and much healthier too. In time a person who eats a good balanced diet will spend less time in the doctors office which will once again save you money.
We have only just touched the surface on this subject and I hope you’ll come back soon for my next post is already in the works. Any comments are welcome…lowell
