Ingredients in our food!

Another thing that my husband and I have been trying to do is to watch what we eat. It may be too late for eating right to help in the fertility department for us but it is never to late to start eating right to live a longer healthy life. I hope everyone will read this and maybe this will help in the health of your family.

We try to eat healthy without going too far out of our way. One way of doing this is staying away from High Fructose Corn Syrup. HFCS is found in many foods in most cupboards. Soda pop, ketchup, salad dressing, and white bread are just a few.
HFCS causes your body to crave more food and store more fat. Most people want to avoid both of these effects as much as possible. It has been proven to cause Type II diabetes in mice. It causes an insulin spike and leads to insulin resistance. This is a poison that has both short and long term effects.
It is not hard to find salad dressings and bread with no HFCS. You just have to read some labels. We have been so happy with the flavors of the higher quality and more healthy foods we have been finding at our regular grocery store. It’s a great, cheap, way to be healthier, lose weight, and avoid diabetes with no sacrifice.

  1. We try to do the same thing. A lot of label reading here too! I want the kiddos to know it is important to watch what you put in your body. Don't forget about msg (mono sodium glutamate). It is crazy what they put in food.

  2. Thank you for your comment. I am so happy that there are others doing this. Once you start reading the labels it gets easier and easier to see. Do not worry MSG will be talked about real soon.
