Have you ever seen a picture of your blood plasma after you\u2019ve eaten a meal from McDonald\u2019s or Burger King? It\u2019s not a pretty picture. It looks thick and cloudy. Fast foods are loaded with fat and sodium. They use white bread and rolls, which means they\u2019ve used white processed flour, with very few nutrients in them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And how do you feel after a Big Mac and french fries? You need a nap, don\u2019t you? All that fat will drag you down and make you feel sluggish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Going on a diet is hard, but think about some of the things you do when you go on a diet. You eliminate those high fat, processed, high-sodium foods. You eat less, true. But you also eat more raw fruits and vegetables. You drink water. And the results of eating this way are increased energy, less need for sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Processed foods, with their high fat content are hard to digest. They take an enormous amount of the body\u2019s energy to consume. When your body\u2019s energy isn\u2019t used up digesting all that fat, it\u2019s available for YOU \u2013 for work, play, love, exercise \u2013 in other words, for LIFE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These aren\u2019t drastic concepts. You don\u2019t have to make drastic changes in your lifestyle. But take a good look at what you consume without even thinking about it. We reach for the potato chips, or stop at McDonald\u2019s or Taco Bell when we\u2019re hungry and we want something in a hurry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s much easier these days to have snacks on hand so you don\u2019t have to stop at a fast food place when you\u2019re hungry. If you\u2019re on the road a lot, and get hungry, pick up a bag of vegetables or apple slices at a grocery store. Yes, it\u2019s easier to drive up to Wendy\u2019s, but taking a few extra minutes, not to mention a few extra steps, will be well worth it in energy and vitality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
