| | Consumer Reports and Food:
Consumer Reports says that there are 15 foods that parents should eat every week so that we can maintain OUR own energy and health.
1) 8 oz. glass of slim or low-fat milk
2) Bananas-great source of fiber, vitamin B6, and potassium
3) 8 oz orange juice
4) salad
5) peanut butter
6) sweet potatoes
7) salmon and fish
8) broccoli
9) whole-grain cereal
10) lean red meat
11) vegetable soup
12) yogurt
13) eggs
14) tomato sauce
15) beans
There you have it! I'm going to definitely work on trying to incorporate these into my diet. So many times, it's easy for us to just settle for 3 full size meals and have 2 snacks (these days, it's sadly been chips, bread, or some juicy w/another not so good snack). We used to eat so well...what happened? I really haven't been concentrating on my family's food. There really is no love in it these days! In fact...For the past 2-3 days, I've had my husband just buy lunch, and at dinner, we'd go out to eat. Not only has it been a waste of money, but it's also not good for our health.
After my SIL's wedding and the out of town guests leave so that I'm not as frazzled, I'll get back to concentrating on keeping my family healthy and well fed.
