592 The Lunch Box

Lunch might be your most important meal of the day. So what do you put in the lunch box that will get you through your day. Your fuel needs to include nutrients that your body will accept converting them to energy. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women?

As much as you think you know what works, ultimately, your body decides." ~ Kristianne Wargo No matter the label on the food, where it's grown, and how it's grown, your body functions based on the fuel you provide. You are what you eat! Truly!! Quick Note: Be aware of SUGARS! The American Heart Association released the amount of added sugar they recommend for children ages 2-18 years. That amount is less than 25 grams or less than 6 teaspoons of added sugar. A study was published by the JAMA: Internal Medicine in 2014 which was one of the first to link too much sugar to an increase risk of dying from heart disease. The study showed that people who got 17%-21% of their calories from added sugars had a 38% higher risk of dying from cardiovascular disease compared to those who ate 8% of their calories from added sugar. Where are you getting your sugar from? So what is in the lunch box?  The K.I.S.S. ~The FAV Fives for the Lunch Box!
