Healthy Food Choices for Your Kitchen

Knowing how to have healthy food choices in your kitchen will keep your family eating right. It is very difficult to stay healthy with a kitchen filled with your favorite treats and unhealthy standards. Throw out the bad and start buying the good food if you want to make any progress in your health.

THROW OUT ANYTHING WITH (Partially) HYDROGENATED OILS - Start your healthy food choices today. I am not a scientist so I can not even begin to tell you how terrible these oils are for your health, but I will say that they contribute significantly to plaque building up in your arteries and heart disease. Do not eat food with partially hydrogenated oils in it.

THROW OUT ANYTHING WITH HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP - Recently I have seen ads on television claiming that HFCS is the same as sugar. Don't be fooled. HFCS bypasses your body's natural process and goes straight to your blood stream. This is very bad for your system and contributes to obesity and getting diabetes. IT IS NOT THE SAME AS SUGAR. Sugar is healthier. Do not eat food with HFCS in it.

DON'T BUY ON THE INNER ISLES OF THE GROCERY STORE - You know where all of the packaged foods are. Try to avoid these areas. The healthy areas are around the outer isles, such as the meat department, bakery, produce, and dairy. You can make healthy food choices every time you go to the store.

CUT OUT CEREALS - Cereals are very high in sugar. I am not sure if there is such as thing as a cereal that is healthy. Any health benefits are lost with the high sugar content.

EAT STEEL CUT OATS or GROATS, NOT ROLLED OATS - Rolled oats are processed over and over again, taking out most of the goodness of the wholegrain. I know that steel cut oats take much longer to cook, but they are worth it and you can prepare a large amount ahead of time and then just heat it up each morning. If you are preparing your oats in less than 30 minutes, most likely they are not very healthy.

EAT WHOLE WHEAT BREAD - Most of the breads on the shelves at the grocery store are not healthy, I don't care what they call themselves. Buy your bread in the healthfood section of the store. Sprouted wheatberries is the best. Isn't funny that there is only a small section of the grocery store called the healthfood section. The whole store should be healthy food. Ironic.

BUY BROWN RICE - Not white rice. Sorry, no more minute rice. If your rice takes less than 50 minutes to cook, then it is not the healthy kind.

BUY WHOLE WHEAT PASTA - Are you getting the hint now. No white flour. Buy everything whole wheat.

BUY CORN TORTILLAS instead of white flour.

BUY EASY TO EAT - Fruits and vegetables in small containers, such as blueberries, tomatoes, raspberries. Lots of apples and bananas. Remember 5 servings a day. Start keeping track.

AVOID CANNED GOODS - Avoid canned goods when possible. They are usually very high in sodium.

AVOID NITRATES - Many packaged meats such as hot dogs and salami are filled with nitrates. Just another thing to be aware of.

BUY REAL CHEESE - American and Velveeta are not real cheese, they are processed cheese products or something. Buy cheddar, swiss or monterey jack.

A difference between Takeaway and Restaurant - Food - Restaurant Reviews

A Restaurant and Takeaway, both are same but it has some difference in service and cuisine. A Takeaway means prepared food that is intended to be eaten off of the premises. The Restaurant is an establishment which prepares and serves food and drink to customers in return for money. Takeaway food is often fast food, but not always so. Whereas fast food carries the connotation of a standardized product from a globalized chain or franchise, take-away outlets are often small businesses serving traditional food, which is sometimes but by no means always of high quality. In some cases, there are facilities for customers to order food by telephone, fax, or over the Internet, to be collected or delivered. This trend is thought to be on the rise as many small businesses take to the Web to promote their take-outs. Food that is delivered by a restaurant to a customer is also sometimes called take-out. Certain types of food that are normally served in sit-down restaurants are commonly available...

The Top 10 Best Foods to Fuel Muscle Growth - Health

It's always helpful to have a list to remember important things. Few things are as important to help you to increase muscle mass as the foods that you eat. With that in mind, here are the top 10 foods to fuel muscle growth. Lean Beef- People love steaks and hamburgers, but unfortunately the majority of cuts that you get at restaurants and grocery stores are loaded with unhealthy fats. Don't write beef out of your diet though. You can still eat beef to fuel muscle growth. In fact, the bodybuilders of years gone by ate a lot of beef to get bigger and stronger. Simply take a smart approach to eating and choose the leanest cuts possible and don't eat red meat at every meal. Stay lean to fuel lean mass. Ground Turkey- You can buy lean ground turkey at most grocery stores. This ground protein source is a great way to liven up bland pasta recipes and to make casseroles and other dinner dishes. Try to get lean, ground breast meat to get the most benefit from eating ...
