From your primary care physician to your family
dentist in Arborg and others, we constantly hear
we should be eating healthier diets that consists
of all-natural and organic foods.

Unfortunately, for most of us, we find it
difficult to eat healthy all the time.

We have busy and active lifestyles which keep up
constantly on the go, and the last thing most of
us want to do is spend an hour or longer
preparing meals two or three times a day.

This is why so many people and families rely upon
quick meal options, like fast food and takeout
restaurants, and frozen, microwaveable dinners.

1. Read package labels on everything you buy.
The labels are there for a reason and it is to
help you make wise food decisions.

Look at the amount of sodium, sugar, and
saturated (bad) fats in each serving. Also look
at the serving size, as this can be misleading,
as you might intend to eat the entire package in
one sitting,

but the serving size says there are four
servings, so you would have to multiple
everything by four to make an accurate
assessment.

2. Measure our serving sizes. This is another
thing you can do to help ensure you are eating
the proper amount and avoid overeating.

Many people just guess or eat whatever portion
size they want. But, when you want to eat
healthier, it requires measuring out your food
and just eating that amount.

After eating a meal they measured out, most
people are actually surprised just how full they
feel.

3. Avoid foods with high amounts of corn syrup,
sugar, dextrose, and other sweeteners. The
bacteria in our mouths that helps start the
digestive processes thrives on sugars.

Plus, this bacteria is fuel for tooth decay
because as it breaks down sugars, it creates the
acids found in plaque that eats through the
enamel on the teeth, and if not cared for can
lead to cavities.

4. Avoid foods that are high in carbohydrates in
the afternoons and evenings. Carbohydrates are
fuel for the body and provide us with energy.

They are great to eat first thing in the morning
to get us going, but should be avoided later in
the day. If we do not use the energy created by
carbohydrates, the body will convert this to
sugars and store it all away as fat.
