I’m assuming a lot of people are going out with their moms today to breakfast, brunch or dinner or having a fancier meal than usual at home. Whether you are the mom, child or husband for the festivities today here are a couple tips so you can indulge but in moderation. Happy Mother’s Day.
Sugar (especially the refined variety) is an appetite stimulant. So if you go to brunch, instead of going right for the pancakes or waffles with fruit and syrup, eat some fresh fruit and vegetables first to start filling you up on healthier foods, leaving less room for the bad stuff. Stay away from the sodas. All sodas including the diet ones too. They are all very acidic to your body and leech important minerals from your bones and organs to process them. Drink water or tea instead.
Dairy, if you know me by now, is at the top of my list to avoid. If you are telling yourself today “screw the rules, I’m indulging” maybe try indulging without dairy products. They slow down digestion, promote inflammation and just clog up your insides with cholesterol. So if your goal is to throw caution to the wind, make 1 concession and stay away from the cheese on your omlet, whipped cream on your waffles and milk in your coffee.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
