You've highlighted a very valid and practical point. Cooking from scratch is a fantastic way to take control of your diet, ensuring that you know exactly what goes into your meals and making healthier choices overall. Learning to cook, even simple recipes, can have a significant impact on your health and well-being. In today's fast-paced world, it's true that many people spend a considerable amount of time on their devices. Shifting some of that time towards cooking and preparing meals can lead to improved nutrition and long-term health benefits. Prioritizing cooking can also be a wonderful opportunity to connect with food, learn about ingredients, and experiment with flavors. It's not only about the end result but also the process of creating something nourishing and satisfying. Remember, small changes in habits can lead to big improvements in health. So, if you're looking to make positive changes in your diet, taking the time to cook from scratch can be a great step forward. And as you mentioned, learning to cook and allocating time for it is indeed a valuable priority.

Frustrating when "being too busy" is an excuse for eating badly. Crockpots cook while you sleep and preparing a simple meal isn't martyrdom. In the old days when people had true physical jobs, they cooked from scratch. Now we have sitting jobs.... we're overworked and have to buy pizza.

You make an excellent point about the challenges many people face when it comes to making healthy food choices in our modern, busy lives. It's true that our work patterns, often involving long hours of sitting, can make it more challenging to prioritize cooking and eating nutritious meals. Here are a few tips and strategies to help individuals make healthier food choices despite a busy schedule: Meal Planning: Dedicate some time each week to plan your meals and snacks. Knowing what you'll eat in advance can help you make better choices and reduce the temptation to order takeout or fast food. Batch Cooking: Consider batch cooking on weekends or whenever you have some free time. Prepare larger quantities of healthy meals that can be divided into portions and frozen for later use. Crockpot and Slow Cooker: As you mentioned, slow cookers can be a lifesaver for busy individuals. You can prepare ingredients in the morning, set the slow cooker, and return home to a ready-made, healthy meal. Quick and Healthy Options: Stock your pantry and fridge with quick, healthy meal options, such as canned beans, whole grains, pre-cut veggies, and lean protein sources. This makes it easier to put together a nutritious meal on short notice. Mindful Eating: Even when you're busy, try to eat mindfully. Avoid eating in front of screens (TV, computer, smartphone) and take a few minutes to enjoy your meal without distractions. Healthy Snacking: Keep healthy snacks on hand, such as nuts, seeds, yogurt, and fruit, to curb hunger between meals. Meal Prep Services: Consider subscribing to meal prep services that deliver healthy, pre-portioned meals to your doorstep. Work-Life Balance: Strive for a healthy work-life balance. Prioritizing self-care, including adequate sleep and stress management, can make it easier to make healthy food choices. Cooking as a Skill: Cooking doesn't have to be complicated or time-consuming. Learning a few basic cooking skills can help you prepare simple, delicious, and nutritious meals. It's important to recognize that making healthier food choices is a gradual process, and it's okay to have occasional indulgences or convenience foods. The key is to find a balance that works for your lifestyle and prioritize your health and well-being. Small, sustainable changes over time can lead to better eating habits and improved overall health.

Ciao! 🇮🇹 Thank you for your comment, and it's an interesting perspective to consider the relationship between food and people's emotions. There is indeed a connection between diet and mood. Research has shown that the foods we eat can have an impact on our mental well-being. A diet rich in processed foods, sugars, and unhealthy fats has been associated with an increased risk of mood disorders like depression and anxiety. On the other hand, a balanced and nutritious diet that includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats can support better mental health. However, it's important to note that the causes of increased anger, discontentment, and unhappiness are complex and multifaceted. While diet can play a role, other factors like stress, lifestyle, genetics, and environmental influences also contribute to people's emotional states. If you're concerned about your own well-being or the well-being of others, it's a good idea to encourage healthier eating habits and lifestyle choices. Promoting awareness of the importance of nutrition and mental health is a positive step towards improving overall well-being. Remember that seeking professional guidance from a healthcare provider or mental health expert is essential if someone is experiencing persistent emotional or mental health issues. They can provide tailored support and treatment options to address these concerns effectively.

The increase in "energy" drinks has me concerned. The level of caffeine in them is very high. People drink them to get through the day, on top of their morning coffee, possibly a couple of Excedrine or other caffeinated pain meds, and anger, agitation, explosive outbursts and rages can result. A man checked into our mental hospital because he was throwing furniture around the house in a rage, and his wife called for help. I was assigned to him as his social worker. I asked him how many cups of coffee he drank in a day. He said about three or four pots a day. There is a diagnosis of "caffeinism" in the Diagnostic Statistics Manual that describes the out of control moods of people who consume too much caffeine. They don't realize that caffeine is a drug, and while it increases energy, it ravages the endocrine system and the brain. It can turn a person into something that is unrecognizable. As can testosterone pills or supplements. If you dump sugar in on top of a heavy caffeine load, you have little control over anxiety, depression, anger, panic attacks, fear and dread. I used to get "free floating" (no cause) anxiety during the day on two/three cups of coffee a day. The coffee pot was in the office I worked at, and helped myself. I could not understand why I felt so anxious and fearful, when nothing was happening to make me feel that way, until I realized it was the coffee, and cut it to one cup a day.

@DiabeticsTalk

While it is true that the human body can produce glucose through a process called gluconeogenesis, it is not recommended to rely solely on protein and fat for energy needs. Consuming adequate amounts of carbohydrates, including those from sources that are low in added sugar such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, can help provide essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber to maintain overall health. Additionally, while it is important to limit added sugar in the diet, it is not necessary to completely avoid all sources of sugar. Consuming small amounts of added sugar, such as a small piece of dark chocolate or a small amount of honey in tea, can be incorporated into a healthy and balanced diet. The key is to consume added sugar in moderation and to choose healthier sources of carbohydrates whenever possible. It's important to work with a healthcare provider or registered dietitian to develop a personalized nutrition plan that meets your specific needs and preferences, including managing blood sugar levels and avoiding excessive added sugar in the diet.

Its super easy to get away from sugar, if you severely restrict the diet. But you will only consider this radical move, IF the penny has dropped about refined carbohydrates and sugar. Thats the difficult bit, as always, its not the absence of temptation we should desire, but the transcendence of desire itself. It takes a combination of will-power and understanding, which leads to reduced consumption and lowers physical addiction, which then aids the use of will-power and intention.

Sorry but rice and pasta are NOT the same as sugar. They are made up of glucose. Sugar is half glucose and half FRUCTOSE. And it is fructose the culprit. NOT glucose.

@DiabeticsTalk

9 ай бұрын

You're absolutely correct, rice and pasta are sources of glucose, a type of sugar that is an essential source of energy for our bodies. Glucose is broken down from carbohydrates in our diet, including rice and pasta, and used for energy or stored for later use. You are also correct that table sugar, or sucrose, is composed of both glucose and fructose. Fructose is a type of sugar primarily found in fruits, honey, and high-fructose corn syrup (often used as a sweetener in processed foods and sugary drinks). Excessive consumption of fructose, particularly in the form of high-fructose corn syrup, has been associated with various health issues, including obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. It's important to distinguish between different types of sugars and understand their potential effects on health. While glucose from carbohydrates like rice and pasta is a primary energy source, excessive consumption of added sugars, particularly fructose, can have negative health consequences. A balanced diet that limits added sugars and focuses on whole, unprocessed foods is generally recommended for overall health and well-being. Thank you for pointing out this important distinction.

A diet like that will kill your brain too though. You certainly don't have to starve yourself to avoid excess sugar, but when you do eat far too little your body goes into "starvation mode". This is bad for your metabolic health. Boosting your metabolism is the best way to stay fit, and healthy. So actually eating a good 3 square meals a day is good for you. Just be sure to stick to whole foods. So cook your own meals as often as possible, cut out the highly processed stuff with too much added sugar, and try to work as much fiber into your diet as possible. Fiber doesn't just reduce sugar intake it also strengthens your gut which boosts your metabolism even further! In a nutshell don't eat almost nothing, just eat better food.
