Last week I discussed keeping a health diary. If you tried it, you may be just starting to see how complicated our eating habits are. So many things that we eat come in a box or a can. Anything that is pre-packaged will likely have many ingredients that you may never have heard of. Many of these ingredients have possible allergy-inducing properties for some people.
I will be doing lectures on how to read labels in the future, but for now, start by looking at the label of everything you eat. You may find that there are many ingredients that you don’t recognize. Go online or buy a book on foods and ingredients that will help you learn about what you are eating.
