One of the best ways to keep good health is to snack between breakfast and lunch and lunch and dinner. Most people living the standard stagnant lifestyle need to snack to keep there blood sugar up and keep their metabolism elevated. We see more people living with hypoglycemia than ever before. This is a physiological state where ones body's blood sugar swings up and down creating symptoms of headaches, shaky, moody, tired, achy, sleepy, and un-motivated and un-productive. Every patient that comes in is recommended to snack between meals. We do this because a huge key to your well being is keeping a stable, and steady blood sugar. Snacks are an important key to your success.
Have you ever wished eating your favorite snack food like Cheetos would be good for you? According to some snack food companies, that time is now. I disagree.
One food manufacturer claims it wants to help consumers find a "little shortcut to a healthier life." A new labeling system will indicate what are supposed to be 'smart food choices." Stickers currently mark products like baked Cheetos and by the end of 2004, more than 100 foods will be identified as "smart choices." Another snack maker introduced 100 Calorie Packs of its most popular snacks such as Chips Ahoy! to help consumers count their calorie intake.
This is not the concept I am promoting to you and your family. I fear the labels will encourage people to purchase food they should not eat. Many of the so-called smart foods may be better than their predecessors but still are not healthy choices.
Company officials argue that the stickers will make it easy to find better choices in a given category.
Some say big name companies are introducing these food campaigns to offer alternatives. Critics say they are simply trying to combat the increasing awareness and concern for obesity in the United States.
Well what is a snack? Is it cookies, cakes, M&M's, sodas? These regardless of their calorie counts are not going to promote health. Get the concept of snack foods being sugar foods and know that a snack is a small quick version of a meal in between your breakfast, lunch, and dinner meals. Eat every 2-3 hours. Snacking on almonds, walnuts, pecans, and seeds. Utilize nut butters and carrots, celery, or an apple. Utilize our snack options we have at the office, like Go Raw foods, artisana organic butters, organic food bars, dynamic greens, and our shakes products. We will have a more comprehensive list come tomorrow.
