Making Mindful Choices

Daily, aggressive marketing campaigns tout the benefits of their products, yet often offering lower nutritional food value.  Have you ever read the labels of a frozen dinner, it can be well packed with sodium or sugars.  While the food market talks about gluten free products it is often loaded with sugar.  Being mindful requires making a conscious effort to discover what you are eating and drinking on a daily basis. Processed meats are linked to high blood pressure, colon cancer and diabetes. Many products on the market contain high amounts of sodium which can trigger high blood pressure, stroke and heart disease.  The hidden sugars, hormones and chemicals in certain foods can also be linked to diabetes, certain cancers, allergies and other disorders.  This is why is important to make mindful choices.
