THINGS THAT ARE NOW CONSIDERED TO BE HEALTHY

We all have to keep ourselves fit all the time, right? That I meant, physically, mentally, financially, and other aspects of our daily lives. However there are these instances that we become overwhelmed with delicious and enticing stuff and neglect those that keep us healthy. I am pretty much guilty of this because I always prefer delicious foods than healthy foods, spending rather than saving, being quite than speak it out.

People like me shouldn't worry anymore.. Below is a list of foods and other stuffs that we think are unhealthy or unwise, but are counted as healthy with some modifications:

1. You can now have pizza at night.

Pizza is often thought to be unhealthy, however if it is made with  whole wheat crust and low fat cheese topped with veggies (instead of pepperoni and ground beef), you'll have the sumptuous healthy pizza ever!

2. Pasta

My all time favorite is pasta. I don't know why it is unhealthy, but if you have to exchange its ingredients to multigrain ones, it'll help you get that required 25 grams of fiber per day.

3. Juice

Reputed to be a sugar and calorie booster, fruit and vegetable juices today according to some research, reduces your risk of Alzheimer's disease by 76% and lowers your cholesterol.

4. Drink cocktails

Oops! Sounds pretty good? Research shows that alcohol, when mixed with certain fruits (like strawberries) are likely to increase antioxidants.

5. Speak out

So much for the food stuffs, let's have some nourishment for our being. If you're kind of quiet person who just shy away or keep quiet all the time, well, I suggest learn to speak out. By speaking out it doesn't mean verbally say it, you may have it in whatever expression you may want to express yourself. A person who writes affectionately to the people close to him/her are likely to drop cholesterol levels to 11 points. 

6. Shop!

Gals! We'll surely love this.. Buying something that pleases you can give your mood a lift, plus it'll burn some 160 extra calories walking around the mall. 

All those I listed above are modifications and should be done on moderation. Everything that is done in moderate is always healthy. :)

MY GUILTY PLEASURES

Guilty Pleasures are the things we are pleasurable of with the feeling of “guilt” in that we are sort of afraid that it’ll put us to shame or something that we think is not really necessary but still want it anyway. I, too have a bunch of lists of guilty pleasures which only few knew and some are just within me and I’m quite hesitant to tell it. Anyways, here are my toppers:

1.      Clothes

Well, girls are girls, and it’s next to impossible that women are not pleasured with clothes. Having fond of watching fashion TV shows, I always want to get the best clothes and wear to show it off. I am pleasured as people would make second looks as I pass by. Lol.

2.      Shoes!

Oh, how I love shoes! This guilty pleasure is really making me happy. I love wearing flats and anything that’s seemingly beautiful in my eyes, I’ll buy it. Lately, I want to try heels, only wedges however.

3.      Bags

Bags are not something I’ve constantly wanted, but am somehow making me pleasurable with the thought of having a great style of bags. I want sling bags actually because it’s quite handy and cute!

4.      Foods

Foods really make me spend much of my money. Well, foods are sort of my comfort stuffs. I and my boyfriend usually do that. When we argue and get into a fight, he always bribes me with foods to pacify me. Lol. My favourite foods are pizza and pasta. Just give me these and I’ll sure cool down.

5.      Salons

When I’m sort of not feeling good emotionally, I go to the salons. A haircut or a new haircolor makes me feel brand new.

6.      Travel

Only few knew that I always wanted to travel. Lol. I’m willing to spend a lot of dime just to go to places I’ve never been to.

These are few, but these stuffs are costing much of my money, because once in a while I’ll always search for these guilty pleasures.
