Today’s Health Tip

Limit processed foods: Processed foods are often high in unhealthy fats, sugar, and sodium.
Growing up in my Italian neighborhood processed foods were considered part of the healthy foods pyramid. On Saturdays my mom would buy a couple long loaves of crusty Italian bread, stop by the deli and buy and assortment of cold cuts. Little surprise all of my uncles and my dad had triple bypass surgery. The only good thing I can say about processed meats they bought is that I enjoyed eating them. I don’t eat them now and haven’t for years. Still, if I go out for pizza with friends and see a pepperoni pizza delivered to the table next to our table, I start salivating. Bottom line? Who needs a triple bypass.
