It is the last week of Women's month in South Africa and a lot of women will be saying goodbye in a big way and some will just prefer lunch or dinner out, myself included. It is always good to go out and enjoy a restuurant meal with loved ones, but do you keep the meals as healthy as possible? It seems like an easy decision to buy that platter of marinated spare ribs and hot wings on the side instead of settling for some deliciously seasoned grilled chicken and a green salad on the side right? Wrong! It is important to have fun eating out while consuming healthy meals. www.medicinet.co.za. Eating out with girls to bid farewell to women's month is a great idea. Here are some tips to keep it as healthy as possible:

- Go easy on the cheese
- Replace that chocolate mousse dessert with fresh fruit or a fruit salad.
- Limit or no fried food
- Drink Red wine instead of White wine
- Choose grilled meat as opposed to fried or braaied
- Skip that tempting casserole, unless you know what's in it
- Choose light salad dressings
- Eat in small portions
as important as eating healthy is, the tips you recommended sound a little too healthy. it is dificult to tone down on the fried foods, they are a great part of most peoples dietary needs. dont forget to remind people not to abuse the health aspects of red wine
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't sound or seem too healthy, you just love eating fried food. But do remember not to eat too much of it though.
ReplyDeleteYes, healthy eating all the way. it's Spring, we have to look after our bodies plus bad food make you sweaty and smelly and we do not want that.
ReplyDeleteMaintaining an overall healthy diet, does not only offers your body the energy and nutrition that it needs to function or to do certain activities, but offers several health benefits as well. But I prefer fast food because its cheaper, quick and easy to prepare. The taste is so magnificent, and I am sure that most people prefer fast foods than healthy diets. Some healthy food tastes horrid can't imagine the smell.
ReplyDeleteI get what you are saying Loyiso, but you should always keep in mind that fast food is not at all good for your health. There are a lot of healthy great tasting dishes you should try. I think in the near future I will blog about different recipes or rather add a link to magnificent dishes you can try yourself.
DeleteFried food are indeed not healthy,it is also advisable for women to eat healthy food and fruits to avoid those fried food cos are not good at all on their body.
ReplyDeleteThey are not good on men's bodies either, but since it is Women's month the focus is on healthy living for the ladies.
DeleteI'm seeing the difference on my body since I began eating healthy :) I even perform better in other activities! :) so yes let's all maintain healthy diets!
ReplyDeleteI hope my blogs have a lot to do with you eating a lot healthier. But I am glad to hear a men's perspective on taking good care of ones health. Thumbs up to you.
DeleteYes keeping a healthy diet is a great thing. It improves your health and surely makes you feel great and that gives you a positive attitude. I wanna start again.
ReplyDeleteIt is never too late to start pampering your body from the inside. As long as you are still breathing, healthy living is the key principle to a longer life to live.
DeleteWomans month was realy nice realy enjoyed myself, was eating a junk because people were spoiling me.
ReplyDeleteSince the month is now over, I do hope you will be eating a lot more of healthy food and getting active in any form of physical exercise.
Deletewooooh we definetely deserve to ,but its so difficult to eat healthy when thers all this nice junk food sorrounding us .Gooooooosh
ReplyDeleteYou don't have to cut the junk food all together, just indulge with limitations. Do not eat a lot of junk food and nothing healthy, rather eat a lot of healthy food and just a little of that "junk".
DeleteEating healthy is one thing that we all need to consider aspecially during spring to avoid a lot of sweating.
ReplyDeleteNot sweating alone. A woman should have a good looking toned body. You have to eat right to look and feel right.
DeleteEating healthy is great, its hard though with all the yummy junk food.
ReplyDeleteHealthy food can also be yummy when prepared right. You should try to explore different "yummy" and healthy recipes and see just how goog healthy food can taste.
DeleteI guess people need to remember to be aware of what they put in their bodies as they seem to have become complacent in our modern fast paced world.
ReplyDeleteThe sad truth is that people do not have the time to think about their health and well-being. Everyone is caught up in their busy lifestyles so much that their health is not a priority anymore.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the advices,we will take them into consideration.
ReplyDeleteEating fruits is the best way to live a healthy lifestyle.
Healthy eating is the way to go is you want to live a longer happy life.
