Processed Foods That are Good for You | Quazen

Actually most processed foods are unhealthy, but some are good for you. You must read labels and check the ingredients. Rule out any salty, sugary, fatty foods that are full of preservatives. Leave them on the shelf where they belong, certainly not in your shopping cart. Frozen vegetables, which I don’t think of as processed at all, are better than fresh ones at the grocers. Just don’t take those with sauces.

Dangerous Food Contamination | Healthmad

Dangerous food contamination is in the headlines almost every day. E ven the greenest most succulent vegetables can be full of bacteria. We will never be absolutely free from dangerous bacteria, but we can follow all the safety rules to be as safe as possible. For instance never use the same cutting board to prepare both meat and vegetables. Refrigerate all leftovers within two hours. And if your greens look limp and soft, throw them out. Buy only what you know you will cook and eat within a few days. Follow all the rules and your family will be at less risk.

Obesity is a Grave Health Concern | Socyberty

The heavily processed food on the grocery shelves are contributing to obesity and bad health. We seen to have lost the knowledge of how to make healthy choices. Food manufacturers have ads all over the TV. Children see ads for unhealthy food on cartoons and other shows aimed at youngsters. Obesity is one of our main health concerns today. Diet plays a huge role in weight gain and disease. We have more obese people now than we have ever had before, and it’s due to the heavily processed food we find on the grocery shelves. Our people have lost the knowledge to choose healthy foods over unhealthy food. Or maybe it’s because processed foods are easier to get to the table?

Writing or Speaking in Visual Pictures | Writinghood

How many of us would like to write more interesting articles, or carry on a more interesting conversation? Everyone who doesn’t have the gift of gab, or the nack of writing, I’m sure. We can train ourselves to be visual by writing or speaking with action. It’s like good wine. Give the narrative a full bodied taste. Show more and analyze less. Imagine your eyes are a camera taking snap shots. Add all the sights and sounds. Describe the white of the fresh fallen snow, the muddy roiling water after a flood. Make your readers see the picture.
