BEING SOCIAL WITHOUT BLOWING YOUR DIET

Society and diet both can be taken together. People often think that when they are among their friends at a party, they cannot carry on with their diet. ‘What if my friends will call me too diet-conscious?’, ‘What if they will make fun of me?’, ‘What if they will attract me towards those meals which will spoil my diet?’. These are the questions that often come in one’s mind when going at a party, especially in the minds of those people who follow a healthy diet plan.

BEING SOCIAL BECOMES A BURDEN RATHER THAN AN ACTIVITY OF

FUN FOR THEM!

A THOUGHT ABOUT SALAD BARS- IS IT HEALTHY OR JUST ANOTHER WAY OF BLOWING YOUR DIET?

Salad bars are a great boon to the health conscious diners if they are used to best advantage. Sometimes, in social gatherings, these salads include such adversity of raw and cooked food that it is actually possible to return to one’s table with a plate full of anything but salad! Many observations show that people return to their seats holding plates with shrimp salad, potato salad, chicken salad, macroni salad, garlic toast and cheese cake. I had to restrain myself from asking, ‘Where is the salad?’ as they joyously dug in, remarking, ‘Wow, these salad bars are amazing!’ But in realty there is nothing in those bars as salad but a meal full of dressings!

SALAD DRESSINGS- HEALTHY OR A SOURCE OF FAT IN THE BODY?

Now the question comes: What should I do about the salad dressings at salad bars? Aren’t they full of sugar, chemicals and vinegar? The answer to these questions is that at many salad bars this is the case. The solution to this problem is to look around for any lemon wedges and oil available so you can have a simple oil-and-lemon dressing.

Dean Ornish MD, president and director of the Preventive Medicine Research Institute in Sausalito, CA, emphasized in his book, ‘Love and Survival: The Scientific Basis for the Healing Power of Intimacy’, that our survival depends on the healing power of love, intimacy and relationships. We are all physically, emotionally and spiritually involved in building relationships. He emphasized on the fact that comprehensive lifestyle changes may lead to severe heart diseases but the main crux of his book was to make us believe that love and intimacy are the most powerful factors in health and illness.

· So why not be positive, love yourself and change our thinking from TODAY! Just move aside all the negative thoughts, tell these thoughts to go away and make way for you and ENJOY YOUR LIFE!
