Turn Fast Food into Healthy Food

For more than 20 years of life as a health professional in the United States, one thing I am always positive it that if you eat in McDonald's or Burger King, you will not worry about getting any germs from the food. I got sick after dining in a beautiful restaurants located at the beautifully decorated Hilton hotel, I got sick in Italian restaurants and Chinese restaurants; however, I never got sick in the fast food chain restaurants.  Unfortunately, the common belief says these days that food served in this place called garbage food, because it cause obese, high blood pressure, and heart disease.

Yes, it is true if you eat in this type of places three meals a day and 7 days a week.  However, if you take time to think why, you may realize that the drawback of the fast food is the lack of vegetables and fruits with extra calories.  It is very easy to transfer this "garbage" food into nutrient food by just doing the following two things:
  • Bring a fruit with you when you go there for you meal, an apple, an orange, a peach, you name it.
  • Drink part, not a full cup of soda. You do this by first filling half cup of soda. After soda is gone, fill a cup of water.  While drinking the water, you get enough liquid for your body while reduced calorie intake; meanwhile, you can use the water to clean your mouth after mean!
