Stay Healthy Every Season With These Foods

This information is quite handy for preventing disease and anti-aging. I'm always eating whatever tastes good but as I get older eating healthy has become more important to me. After eating whatever in my 20's my body and mind has changed. There's actually a sense of nourishment, fulfillment, and fullness when eating a balanced meal with everything from vegetables, meats, starches, carbs. Back in the day I was just eating and knew when I reached and exceeded my stomach's limitations. Now I'd rather eat in small portions and with the right balance of everything. Instead of eating the most for dinner eating for breakfast and lunch has been more pleasing. Lately for the summer I've eaten plain & honey nut cheerios, Fiber One, Ohms by Quaker (really good and honey graham rich!) Raisin bran, Chex, Cinnamon Toast Crunch (one of my favs.) and my sinful indulgence I sneak in at night sometimes Peanut Butter Captain Crunch (addictive!). And nothing beats cereal than having ice cold milk on a morning warming up for a hot summer's day. Bagels are also a morning favorite for me all times of the year. Thomas's Cinnamon Swirl Bagels toasted with butter and cream cheese. I try to be easy with the cream cheese but it's so good. Every morning my taste changes so it's nothing to worry about. Even if you already know about these items or learning about their benefits for each season it's available here to return back to.
