Nutrition Realm

All of us struggle with eating healthy, as America has one of the largest obesity epidemics worldwide. With so many greasy food options, how can we help ourselves? Chick-Fil-A treats me better than my own family sometimes, as does a good chicken biscuit and frosted coffee in the morning or in the car. Here are a few things that actually taste good that make us not feel like we have just crawled out of greasy hell.


1. Chicken

Yes, I wish it was fried chicken too, but with the right toppings, you may find yourself preferring a grilled chicken sandwich instead.


2. Sweet Potatoes

It's like diet candy, minus the chemical flavor.


3. Dark Chocolate

No, not pure cacao. Dark chocolate is a perfect substitution for milk or white chocolate.


4. Plain Greek Yogurt

Tastes exactly like sour cream on your tacos, no wonder it's not so good paired with fruit and granola.


5. Green Beans

Arguably, the best beans.


6. Shrimp

The best news EVER.


7. Cauliflower

If you have yet to have mashed cauliflower, you have not truly lived.


8. Chia Seeds

They don't taste like anything, sprinkle some on your toast or in your yogurt and boom, instant health.


9. Black Coffee

We all know what this does...


10. Oranges

You are lying if you say you hate oranges.


11. Grapefruit

Half a grapefruit with a little sugar is THE perfect way to wake up.


12. Avocados


13. Eggs

Preferably hard boiled, but a fried egg never killed anyone.


14. Tomatoes

Did someone say, salsa???


15. WATER

The actual cure-all.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
