10 shocking. Ingredients in your food: what you need to know before you next trip to tha  grocery store.

Food is your primary source of nourishment and health. What you put into your body matters. The quest to eat healthy seems like it should be so simple, yet there is so much deception from food companies that it is hard to know what is healthy and what isn’t.

As you walk through the aisle of your local grocery, you are inundated with thousands of subtle marketing ploys. Food companies want you to buy their products, and actively strive to mislead you into thinking that their food is healthier than it is.

You see products that boldly announce things like ‘Organic’, ‘No Trans Fats’, ‘All Natural’, ‘Gluten Free’, ‘Fat Free’ and so many other seemingly healthy terms. Consumers often don’t realize that they are buying foods that are harmful to their health. You might think, “it’s organic, so it must be healthy.” Unfortunately, that is not always the case.

Food Companies DON'T CARE About You The sooner you realize this the better. Food companies are not interested in your health. They are interested in making money. Companies shift their marketing to meet consumer trends and demands, but they will not necessarily change much in how they process and manufacture food. They will also go out of their way to hide unhealthy ingredients from you.

What’s worse is the FDA allows this. They also allow numerous food additives that are known to create major health problems. You want to know something else crazy? The FDA also doesn’t require chemical contaminants (like rocket fuel) to be listed.

WHAT??? There are soooo many unsafe food additives whose names are misleading to the uninformed consumer. Knowing this, the grocery store suddenly becomes a landmine rather than a source of nourishment and health. You don’t know what you are putting into your body or feeding your family. It’s no wonder there are so many major health problems in this country.

Even if you shop in the organic/natural/whole foods section of your local grocery, you still have to be careful. Certainly, there are many better choices there, but these sections also have a lot of highly processed foods that are not as healthy as you might think. You need to be very careful about ANY packaged foods you purchase. Read your labels carefully.

You may be accustomed to the texture and taste of white breads and flours, but do your health a favor and switch it up to true whole grains. .

On average, what is the total MONTHLY amount that you spend on dining out*?

*(This doesn't only count going out to restaurants, but also stuff like picking up fast food to bring home, getting a coffee on the way to work, getting a premade sandwich from a grocery store deli during lunch, buying a quick snack from a convenience store or food cart whilst walking somewhere, ordering a pizza or any other food to be delivered to your home, etc.)

*(If you often dine out in groups/as a household: calculate and divide the costs so that you get a Per Person average. This is for YOU individually, NOT the total household/group costs)

(I'm sure polls similar to this have been made before (very common topic), I just haven't personally seen one that I can remember, so, I was curious to do my own! I was discussing this with a group of people today and it was very interesting to see how widely the number varied between individuals. :0c )

(Reblog for bigger sample size if you can, and feel free to explain your answer in tags if there's anything extra to add!)

the correct way to come out of a fast 🎀

i’m not a health acc, nor am i an ed acc, but i see a lot of girlies ending their fasts wrong, and that can be super dangerous. life threatening, even. so i decided to write this cus i have a lot of experience with fasting 🫶🏼

(if on a liquid diet, skip to step 4)

1. time

it’s a super simple process, but it’s definitely time consuming. the amount of time you were fasting is the amount of time it takes to come out of a fast. (e.g. one year i fasted for all of ramadan, even at night. i only fasted for two weeks, then slowly incorporated food back into my diet for the other two weeks)

2. liquid food

i saw someone eat an apple straight after their fast.

you cannot under any circumstances do that!!

shocking your system with food is dangerous. the first thing you should be having is a teaspoon of *blended* apple in a glass of water. (blend a peeled apple with a little bit of water to get the right consistency. do not use store bought apple juice)

it’s gross, but it’s necessary.

slowly over time, increase the ratio, until you are just drinking the blended apple. (the amount of time it takes depends on the amount of time you fasted)

3. liquid food cont.

once you start drinking just the apple, start mixing in other fresh fruits and veggies - preferably ones with a lot of nutrients. make sure it’s not too heavy.

(side note: don’t add any milk or yogurt to the smoothies, nothing but plain water!)

4. food (kinda?)

you can’t eat normally just yet, just a little more to go!! there are two options of how to do this step

one is to make the smoothies chunkier, so you have something to chew

the second is cutting yourself a *tiny* piece of apple and chewing it until you physically can’t anymore.

they are pretty similar, so it’s up to you :) (make sure to chew very well for both btw, not just the second option)

as always, slowly increase the amount of solids until…

5. FOOD! (finally 😮‍💨)

congrats! you can now eat normally!! 🥳🥳🥳

it sucks that it takes so long, but i cannot stress enough how important it is! people have actually died from ending a fast wrong before. please look after your health 🤍

if you don’t like apples, or are allergic, you can substitute them for blueberries, though you’ll have to strain the skin out until you can start chewing 🤷🏼‍♀️ (if you don’t like blueberries, then use cucumbers or lettuce, idk)

i rly hope this helped someone. pls be safe 🫶🏼🫶🏼

The Power of Protein-Rich Superfoods

Incorporating protein-rich superfoods into your diet is a smart way to supercharge your fitness journey. Superfoods like chia seeds, quinoa, and spirulina aren't just trendy; they're nutrient powerhouses packed with protein, fiber, and essential vitamins. These foods not only support muscle growth and recovery but also enhance your overall well-being. For example, adding a sprinkle of chia seeds to your yogurt or blending some spirulina into your smoothie gives you an extra protein boost without much effort. Plus, these superfoods offer a mix of antioxidants and healthy fats, which can help reduce inflammation and keep your body functioning at its best.

Mixing these superfoods into your meals can be a fun and delicious way to meet your protein needs while enjoying a variety of flavors and textures. Whether you're making a quinoa salad for lunch or a chia seed pudding for a snack, you're not just fueling your body—you’re nourishing it with top-tier nutrients. So, next time you plan your meals, think about how you can incorporate these protein-packed superfoods to elevate both your diet and your fitness results.
