When we buy processed foods from a shopping centre we know what we are buying because there is a ingredients list on the packaging, which is mandatory for processed foods. For natural foods like fruit and vegetables, no health advice is considered necessary because they are 'naturally' rich in nutrients for our bodies.
This is not the case for foods that we consume in restaurants and other take-out food stores that is made on the premises. Few such businesses provide details as to their food ingredients or the calorific value of their foods. This of course makes a healthy selection more difficult. Either we can take an interest in these issues, we can limit the amount of 'unidentify calorific intake' or we can adjust by changing our exercise regime.
What we really want to know from these businesses is the following:
1. What is the calorific value of the foods they sell?
2. Are the products made from natural ingredients?
3. How much added sugar is there?
If you are not asking those questions or the processed food vendor is not offering you an answer, then you need to be asking yourself - What amount of exercise do I need to perform to regulate my weight level?
