ArticlesTest your fountain of youth nutritional savvy – make your right choice! Making the right choices is getting tougher all the time. Who would have figured that a bagel with cream cheese was better than a bra muffin? Oh, sure, we all know the bagel is fine. But the messages about cream cheese have us saving it for a special Sunday brunch, while we go ahead and gobble down a couple of bran muffins. And you know what, bran muffins aren't even what good. They taste like, well, like bran. And what about that baked potato versus French fries? I bet we all thought that melted cheese was a great idea—lots of calcium there—so we wolf down tons of extra fat thinking we're getting thin. And then the real shocker. The salad. Oh, sure, we all know that salad dressing is not the best choice, but how is it possible that one of those little bitty plastic pouches that you can hardly open most of the time can sabotage our entire food day so badly? No wonder we are getting fatter. No wonder we are getting sicker. No; wonder we are getting older. It's a nutritional minefield out there and too many of us are getting blown up. It gets worse. Not only have most of us completely lost it when it comes to something as basic as our food, but those researchers out there keep shifting the fat floor from beneath our feet. *24\323\8* |
