Epoch Times: An expansive study suggests it is better to focus on what you should eat, rather than what you should not

Endless studies and experts tell us that eating a healthy diet is essential for overall health and disease prevention. They warn that consuming too much junk food is a big reason why we often fail to meet this goal.

  1. Everything in moderation. For example, this morning I’ll have a bloody Mary and some fried appetizer for breakfast. I do this maybe 2-3 times a month. Especially during summer months when my eating habits are at their worst.

    I can’t stand being hot, stuffed with food and hot. So I binge eat during hot months. Won’t eat a thing all day until I can’t take anymore, then I’ll eat lightly. Then around 10pm I’ll raid the kitchen.

    Yesterday, I had only a sandwich around 2pm. So today it’s a bloody breakfast! Light, refreshing and full of vitamins.
