Remembering my middle and high school days, money and time was spent on things that really didn't benefit me. And half these kids don't event know what they are putting Into their bodies. All delis and corner stores sell the worst of the worst, cheap but it tastes good. (I am not to bash these items or places, just simply want to elaborate on how unhealthy they are and how you could have saved!)
I have to start with the Arizona drink. 1$ for a large drink of pure sugar. What that does to you is not quench your thirst but pump your energy up and then crashes within an hour. Leaving you feeling slow, tired, just plain lazy. We all know the feeling!
Dunkin Donuts, my oh my... If I could save every penny I have ever invested in that place, I would be rich! SERIOUSLY!!! Everyday coffee, tea, bagels, tons of cream cheese, bacon, fake eggs builds a mountain of calories. Not even just that but builds a hole in your pocket. Think about it, coffee and tea is so easy to make at home. Wake up a few minutes early to make that, or are you on the go all the time? Put it in a to-go mug! Save those two dollars you would be spending everyday for something more worthy and valuable! As for the food, it fills you up for the moment, but an hour later your wondering why your tummy is rumbling and it's because your hungry again! Because the bagel sandwich didn't fulfill your body with the nutrients it needed to start the day right!
Lastly, is a classic .... PIZZA! We all love pizza, I know I do! But mozzarella cheese is really high in calories, and half these cheap pizza shops make their pizza mainly with more Dough than anything else.
Yes being healthy, can be pricey sometimes, but wouldn't you want to look better, feel better, and live longer than let all that food catch up to you and not make you feel good? We are all not perfect, but starting from somewhere and changing slowly shows that you care for your body and you know what's best.
Since most schools don't inform kids in-depth about eating healthy and exercising we are our only hope within spreading the word. Also many people are getting diabetes because of these high sodium foods and high sugars. It can be decreased if you just check the label and spread the word!
Peace&love,
Alba
