is it really
That Bad?
Coffee
You wouldn’t believe the health benefits of coffee. It can lower your risk of diabetes and death, and helps protect the brain from Alzheimer’s and dementia. That’s only a few of the advantages.
Focus on Nutrients Rather than Calories
“
Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.
– Hippocrates
When you read the quote above you probably thought of greens, organic products, whole grains and all that healthy food. But you probably didn’t think of things like coffee, ice cream and burgers did you? Unfortunately a lot of products have been labeled as “junk” due to their association with junk food products. Believe it or not, everything labeled “junk” can be enjoyed in a healthy way.
Ice Cream
Ice cream is an excellent source of energy and vitamins (A, C, D, E, K, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folate and vitamins B-6 and B-12), and minerals.
Pizza
The good thing about pizza is that it can be as healthy as you want it to be. You can add the veggies and toppings you want, cut back on the cheese, and go for thin and crispy crust.
French Fries
Made from potatoes, French fries are a great source of fiber, potassium and vitamin B6. *Note: Moderation is key.
