I know, I know, there are also many foods that we think taste good but we know are not healthy for our bodies. Sometimes it is really tough to know what to do. I have said before that it is recommended to &#8220;Eat The Rainbow&#8221; which means searching for food that is colorful. Not too hard, right? BTW, did you know that the color of the food also tells you how fresh it is? Look for this especially in fresh veg. Bright greens and reds, yellow bananas, dark rich colored fresh herbs, and so on.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch out for fish and shell fish. Be sure not to buy fish that is not responsibly farmed or wild caught. I buy salmon that is farmed in Norway. Yes, it is farmed, but in a cold water natural habitat, not warm water that may be contaminated with sewage. Watch for this especially in Talapia. Frozen fish, like frozen veg. is not bad for you. In fact, it is very healthy. Often vegetables (Birdseye for example) are frozen in the field and many fish are frozen as they are caught to insure freshness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know I have said this many times, but Read The Label! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PS-Watch sodium also!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are so many different foods that are considered part of the Mediterranean Eating Plan.
