Is Your Kitchen Unhealthy?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Could your kitchen be making you fat? When losing weight and getting fit is your goal most folks know that means less time spent in the fast food drive through and more time spent on the treadmill. Two terrific changes for the better, of course. But, adopting healthy habits that become part of your longterm lifestyle requires a long look at just about everything that makes up your “personal environment.” So, clean out the kitchen cupboards! Get rid of chocolate cake mix temptations and cartons of super premium macadamia chunk ice cream. Instead, stock your fridge and pantry with foods that will help you win the battle of the bulge. If there is a container of pre cut fruit in the fridge to satisfy your sweet tooth- you’re less likely to grab the cookies. Make it easy on yourself! If you’re in a rush to make dinner there’s no need to call out for pizza. If you have those individually packed frozen chicken breasts in the freezer, some quick cook brown rice in the pantry and a bag of fresh broccoli florets….a healthy dinner can be ready way before the pizza guy could get there!! Other healthy kitchen staples to whip up a flavorful healthy meal include include olive oil, vinegars, dried herb mixes, gourmet mustards, lemons, limes and a good pepper grinder. Two must have kitchen tools for healthy cooking include a vegetable steamer and a non stick pan!! There’s so much more to recommend. But, what do you think????? Can your kitchen be unhealthy????
