AP - An Indian couple poisoned their three young children, then hung themselves from a ceiling fan because they were depressed about being HIV-positive, police said Saturday.My purchase bcaa used natural co-q10 say that modern people live to buy co enzyme q10 a living, and not to make life. In a way, he was right, as we all lead busy lives filled with work and other responsibilities. In most two-parent families, both parents must work to pay the bills, and single parents are up to the challenge even more so. Add to it extracurricular activities of their children, and no wander that fast food becomes a necessity. When dining out though, you can make better choices for your health (see below).
Review these ideas about how to make healthier choices when eating on the go:
- Choose small or junior sandwich
- Choose grilled or boiled items over fried
- Choose small fries instead of large
- Beware of salads: skip the high-calorie items, such as nuts, cheese, or dressing
- Drink water or skim milk
When eating out, always be a high-calorie detective. Watch for these items on the menu, as they imply fat & calorie rich foods:
- Au Gratin
- Breaded
- Creamy
- Crispy
- Fried
- In Gravy
Dining at a sit-down restaurant?
If you have a choice while dining out, select an establishment with a variety of low-fat dishes on the menu, and do not be afraid to ask the waiter for what you want! For example, broiled or grilled meat can be easily substituted for the fat-filled fried versions. Be mindful of portion sizes. Most restaurants serve large portions, so plan to take home about a half of your meal. That way you will not overeat and have dinner the next day!
Ask your waiter to serve your dressing and sauces on the side so that you can be in control of how much of it to eat. Avoid all-you-can-eat buffets, as they allow us to lose control over the amount of food eaten. Drink water or tea (they are calorie free), and if a dessert is a must, choose sorbet or fresh fruit over a cake or ice cream.
When on the go on most days of the week, perhaps investing in a good cooler would help decrease the need to rush. Having a cooler in the car, would allow you to carry some of the food with you and prepare healthy and nutritious mini-meals yourself!
What to pack in the cooler? Here are some ideas:
- Sandwiches
- Bagels with cream cheese
- Pretzels
- Cheese cubes
- Beef jerky
- Cut-up veggies
- Dried fruits
- Milk boxes
- Water bottles
