FEELING YOUR “BEST” EVERYDAY!

By Sherry L. Granader

Would you like to feel your ‘best’ everyday? Have consistent energy all day long without relying on caffeine to get through your day? The key to having total well-being lies in balancing our neurotransmitters in our brain.

The modern diet is teeming with carbohydrates, some obvious and some hidden. Most people are blind to how many carbs they take in from foods like bread, pasta, rice, cereal, sugar, crackers, pretzels, pastries, cookies, soft drinks, juices, potatoes, bananas, ice cream, energy bars, and other starchy foods. Even decent foods, such as whole grains, beans, cantaloupe, grapes, honey, etc., are loaded with carbs. The main staple in processed foods is high fructose corn syrup, which Americans get entirely too much of. A diet intended to lose weight must consciously aim to restrict the intake of these foods.
