It's a fact that health and nutrition go hand in hand, but too often we figure that ready made meals are the perfect solution. Good, they might be, but they're also expensive and we can easily cook our healthy meals at home for half the price. Good nutrition is no farther than our garden or the local market, and the Web is full of good recipes. The key word however is 'be informed'. There are plenty of websites providing nutrition info and we must always keep in mind that food and nutrition are not the same thing. Nutrition is giving our organism what it needs to function properly; food is whatever we stuff in our mouth. Loosing weight has become an obsession nowadays, well it's proven that diet and nutrition are closely linked and that our body reflects only what we eat. So let's be wise. In every choice we make, common sense must prevail. Fast food has gained a nasty reputation in recent years; it's surely not advisable on a daily basis but a once a week fast food meal won't harm. In doubt one can easily consult the mcdonalds nutrition facts or, on the sweet side, the tim hortons nutrition guide , and make up their own mind about the whole thing. So let's always call on logic before we make our choices, and be sure that our body is as happy as we are with what we fill it with.
