Good morning everyone!
On Saturday, during our healthy habits we were discussing portion control. I had read that the divided styrofoam plates are a good indication of the proper portion. Imagine my surprise this morning when that was the first story I heard on the news! As a successful country we have become too comfortable living to eat instead of eating to live. Remember, past generations did manual labor and burned calories plus they did not have access to the quantities and selection of food which are available now.
In short, we are very lucky, spoiled gluttons. We eat what we want, when we want. We must incorporate more fresh fruit and vegetables, reduce the meats, sweets and limit our portions to avoid many health issues.
I have a challenge for you. Let's try eating only what we need until Thanksgiving. Then we will have our day of splurge. Small steps will make a big difference.
Until tomorrow,
Dr. Janet
