Eat to Live

Life is short. Break the rules. Forgive quickly. Kiss slowly.
Love truly. Laugh uncontrollably,
and never regret anything that made you smile.

How's that for thoughts for the day? Life is really short so eat to live and not live to eat. Get my drift? Eating out is not bad but eating out often is. There are oils that are high in cholesterol, and oils that cause little harm and are better for your heart. However, no matter how light the oil is, it is never a good idea to eat too much of it. Oil is still, well.... oil.

Avoid fried foods. Yesterday we had lunch in a restaurant serving Filipino dishes. Our host ordered fried calamares, grilled pork belly, shrimp in butter, tuna panga sigang, grilled tuna, and deep fried alimango (king crab). Yup! I felt like a tub of lard. I had a hell of a headache an hour after lunch. The food has so much monosodium glutamate ( vetsin) and oil. I had to miss dinner yesterday. My tummy needed to rest.

Limit outdoor eating unless you know that you"re getting served light and healthy food.
