The Road To Good Health – Eating Goods & Avoiding Bad Fats

I know you have heard this all before. but it needs to be said again and again.  The road to health is eating good wholesome foods and avoiding unhealthy foods.  It is sorta like Good vs Evil.  The Good food will make you healthy and the Bad food will make you ill.  It is your choice.  We all want to be healthy, but we love the unhealthy foods.  They seem to taste better.  Most of us have eaten them for so long, we forgot what the healthy stuff tastes like.

Fats and sugars dominate our lives.  We have been taught that fat is wonderful tasting and damn, it is.  Remember all the chefs on tv telling you, how good pork fat was?  My dad told me once, “If it tastes good, spit it out”.  Well, I did not listen and here, all these years latter, I and most of us, are not healthy.  I (we) try, but the bad stuff seems to win most of the time.

Here are a few easy choices you can make without a lot of bother.

1.  Olive oil instead of soybean oil-canola oil- corn oil- butter  etc.

2.  Fresh fruit and vegetables instead of fried ones.

3.  Baked sweet potato instead of white potato

4.  Fresh wild caught fish instead of farm raised.

5.  Brown rice instead of white rice.

6.  Very lean pork instead of beef

7.  Steel cut oats instead of sugar coated breakfast cereals

8.  Beans and lentils instead of pasta

9.  Water instead of any kind of sodas(even sugar free)

Try these small changes to get your health back.  Your health is the single most important thing you have.  Try it, you’ll like it.  Here is to a healthy 2015.
