Health for Body Mind and Soul

The final meal of the day should be smaller than breakfast and lunch. “Eating like a pauper” at the end of the day will require a huge shift in thought and behavior for most people, but it makes sense to eat a smaller meal at the end of the work day because typically we do not expend a lot of calories at this time.  Most individuals go home and put their feet up after a hectic day at work, or engage in more sedentary activities.

Avoiding fatty foods at the end of the day especially if you have trouble sleeping is a good idea. Fatty foods are harder to digest, they tax the digestive system and can prevent you from getting the restful sleep your body requires. Enjoy these recipes as you transition to better health!
