Eating 101 for the Holidays

A.D.D. Alternative Delectable Delights

In time for the Holidays: 

Let’s think about the foods/drinks that we will see at the table…. Do you have a food in mind?

Chocolate Cheesecake

 

Now, we all know 1 or 2 or 5 foods that we can avoid so that we are making healthier choices in our eating habits. If the food you pictured at the holiday table is in that “AVOID” category, you have a CHOICE. Healthy Living is not about deprivation. It’s about knowing what your body will thrive/deteriorate from and consuming the foods that we Need, rather than the ones we can do without.  Many of us and our loved ones are a few bites away from Diabetes, Heart Disease, High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol, etc. If you know that what you eat can create illness and DIS-EASE in your body, know that ultimately what you consume is up to you. I encourage you to make a decision to err on the side of ‘healthier’, as often as possible. Can you have that piece of Chocolate Cheesecake?… Of course you can. Should you have that piece of chocolate cheesecake??? If you are a diabetic, suffer from any long term illness or disease, you should probably steer clear. Why? Because Sugar depletes the immune system, contributes to many illness, further deteriorating your health. Also, if you have to ask the question of “Should I?”, you pretty much already know the answer. Choose wisely and Eat wisely this holiday season. Better yet, make it yourself… the Healthier way.
