You Are What You Eat?

August 20, 2008

Why is it that over the years the “gurus” would say that? I guess, to a certain extent, it’s true. What I know is true, is the fact that you need to pay attention to how your body reacts to different foods. For example, whenever I would have dairy products, I would get very congested. (Which can be normal for a lot of people!) As I mentioned in my first post, years ago I had yeast issues. While I don’t eat “regular” bread (OK, I do cheat when my husband and I go to Carrabba’s…their bread is irresistable!!), I feel it the next day…bloated, congested and I know my body reacts negatively to it.

Did you know that yeast and molds can build up very quickly on foods stored in the refrigerator? Because of this, you should avoid leftovers as much as possible. If you do eat leftovers, heat them well to kill the yeast and molds. And if you are like me, always busy, no time to cook and don’t want to cook, I eat leftovers. In today’s day and age, we want it bigger, better, faster. Unfortunately, that is not so in the world of healthy eating.

Not too long ago I discovered the crockpot. Now, that is the best invention, EVER!! 🙂 Put all the ingredients in the crockpot in the morning, and by the time I get home, dinner is ready! That is my kind of cooking. I made a reciepe, Chicken & Potato Curry. Oh my gosh was it yummy, and healthy!! It has chicken, potoatos, onions, pepper, tons of spices, chopped tomatos (I used a can of diced tomatos), and some chicken broth.

Eating healthy doesn’t mean food doesn’t taste good!!

To your health.
