eaching for unhealthy foods is convenient.
Punching a button on the vending machine
or pulling into a drive thru is certainly far more
appealing than cooking salmon or chopping
vegetables, especially when I am hungry and
hurried.
On the other hand, preparing healthy meals is time
consuming, but it is certainly worth the effort.
My health is important to me. It takes precedence
over the convenience of 5-minute meals. Convenience
always comes at a price. In this case, the price I’m
paying is sacrifi cing nutrition and playing Russian
roulette with my health!
Healthy eating revitalizes my life!
My good health enables me to play with my children,
keep my physique in good shape, cut down on medical
expenses, and increase my lifespan.
I would be a fool to pass up all of these benefi ts in
favor of a quick burger or a bar of chocolate! For this
reason, I make it a point to cook healthy meals and
make conscious decisions when it comes to snacks.
Healthy foods taste better, fresher, and more
wholesome than unhealthy foods. Eating healthily also
provides me with a sense of empowerment.
Being busy is no longer an excuse.
There are millions of individuals that manage to check
off every task on their to-do list and still sit down for a
wholesome meal three times per day.
My body is a temple and I treat it like my most prized
possession!
Today, I change my life one granola bar at a time! I
value my well being and consume healthy meals to
fortify my body and soul.
Don’t allow being busy dictate your health and
happiness. There are simple solutions to accomplishing
your personal and professional goals while maintaining
a healthy lifestyle .
