DIET BUSTING FOODS - AVOID THESE!!!

This link will dispel some of the diet food myths that many of us buy into and then wonder why we can't lose weight. Check it out for yourself and see if you have ever thought these foods were actually good for you. It just goes to show that food made at home is almost always better than eating out due to the sneaky calories, fat and sodium that are added in takeout/restaurant foods. Happy dieting!!!

STUDY: TOO MUCH RED MEAT MAY SHORTEN LIFESPAN

Lets be honest. Most of is like and regularly consume some form of red meat. I like a little bacon or sausage for breakfast every now and then, pepperoni on my pizza, or ham/salami sandwiches for lunch. But have you ever thought about the long term helath effects of eating too much red meat? How much is too much? according to a new study, you should try to have less than two servings per week if possible. Check out the full article here: EAT LESS RED MEAT FOR LONGER LIFE!!!

What forms of red meat do you eat most often? How could you make the necessary changes to swap out red meat?

DRINK YOUR TAP WATER


If you are not convinced that drinking tap water is best for you, check out a nice article HERE. It dispels many of the myths about bottled water, such as that it is healthier than tap water. Save your money and your time and just drink the water you actually pay for to come to your house every day. If there is an unpleasant taste, odor, or color, that doesn't necessarily have health implications. It could be iron (rust) in the water which doesn't harm your health. Try using a filter or purifier so that the water is more aesthetically pleasing to your tastes.Side point: When was the last time you ever heard of someone dying or being hospitalized because they drank iron. Isn't iron in cereal and other foods? Isn't it actually good for human consumption? The main point here is to not overpay for something that you already pay for. We all need to wacth our pennies more closely and also our health. Tap water in America is almost always better than drinking bottled water. It is better for your wallet, better for your health, better for the environment, etc. Read the research above!
