    5 Reasons to Avoid Fast Food Consumption

    February 19, 2021

    As I drag myself to my new job, I past numerous fast food joints and coffee shops offering unhealthy food. Of course, we know it tastes yummy, and you enjoy the sumptuous delicacy, but it isn’t doing any good to your health. Unfortunately, many of us, including me, are looking for convivence and forgetting what fast food does to our bodies. All of us know, eating a poor quality diet high in fast food is linked to a higher risk of obesity, depression, digestive issues, heart disease and stroke, type 2 diabetes, cancer, and early death.

    Reasons Learning to Cook Is Therapeutic

    October 7, 2020

    Learning to cook is more about just being able to keep ourselves alive. It has a deeper meaning to it, it can be therapeutic. While some life skills and traits are more important than others in many different perspectives, there are a few that are objectively seen as super necessary.  One of those life skills is the ability to cook. Being able to put food on a plate for yourself and those around you has more effects than what face value provides. Some people are able to prepare meals better than others. You probably know an amazing chef that can create three-course meals, and friends who can barely boil water.…

    What You Need to Know About Food Labels

    March 12, 2020

    It is National Nutrition Month and this week I want to share with you some insight on what you need to know about food labels.
