How industry stimulates us into a food trap

If you may have gotten into the habit of eating ready-made meals and fast food take-aways.
• Excess fat• Excess sugar• Excess salt
All these diet baddies are hard to fight because they are all habit forming and stimulate us to eat more and more. This is a fact well known by the food industry manufacturers. These foods melt in our mouths and stimulate our taste buds making the food comforting and good to taste. So that we want to eat more. Sugar is even added to meat products such as hamburgers and read
Often in fast food or ready-made meals, we have a combination of sugar, fat and salt together. This combination stimulate the brain to want more.  Processed food is made sweet and soft to the taste almost like pureed baby food so that in essence the food manufacturers encourage our palate to desire eating adult baby food for comfort 
Highly processed, ready-made meals loaded with fat, sugar and salt are addictive and not healthy food for the body - although the food industry manufacturers are very clever at making them appear healthy and good value for money so beware.

Food is not an activity to be enjoyed all the time.  We need to remember boundaries. Food is eaten only 3 times per day; one main meal and 2 lighter meals with one small snack in-between. The problem is that fast food is now available around the clock on every street corner. 
You can look at a packet of chips or hamburger or a huge plate of cake and say, “This is my friend; this will make me feel better”, and there will be very little that I can do to stop you eating this because your brain has been indoctrinated to believe that eating this food will be rewarding and it is hard to stop.
So you must learn to set boundaries and plan to eat for health and nutrition.

Serves 6
Ingredients:
- 360 ml chicken stock - 360 ml water - 280 g long grain rice - 70 ml lemon juice - 30 g cornstarch - 180 ml cold water - 55 ml soy sauce - 1 1/4 tbsp sugar - 1 1/2 tbsp curry powder - 40 ml peanut oil - 680 g medium shrimp, peeled and de-veined- 2 tbsp chicken stock - 1 tbsp Oriental sesame oil - 260 g snow peas - 3 cloves garlic, minced - 5 scallions, thinly sliced

Combine stock and water in saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in rice and pepper to taste and bring to boil. Cover and simmer until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat, leave covered. Sprinkle lemon juice over rice and fluff with a fork. While rice is cooking, dissolve half the cornstarch in the cold water in a bowl. Add curry powder and half the soy sauce, sugar, and peanut oil. Mix thoroughly.
Stir in shrimp and toss to coat. Marinate 15 minutes. Combine remaining cornstarch and cold water with chicken stock, sesame oil, remaining soy sauce and sugar in a jar, shake vigorously and set aside. Heat remaining peanut oil in a wok over high heat. Stir-fry snow peas until almost tender. Discard all but 1 tbsp oil from wok. Add shrimp, marinade, garlic, and stir-fry 1 minute over high heat. Add soy sauce and cornstarch mixture and sauté 1 minute, or until sauce begins to thicken. Remove from heat. Stir in scallions. Serve over rice.

There is a supplement called Permea Plus that provides a solution to the problem. Some of the ingredients revitalise the tissues in both hair and nails that protect their outer layers. But remember that nails grow very slowly (about 1 millimetre a week) so it will take some time for the replenished nail to grow up from the nail bed.  Use a barrier hand cream before swimming and spray your hair and scalp with Permea Plus massage oil before swimming so the chlorinated water will be prevented from soaking into your hair. —
