Something that honestly shocked myself and others awhile back was when I was studying about how certain brands of candies were said to be unfit for human consumption because of some of the ingredients that were entirely unhealthy.
It was more of a warning than anything, because I noticed that all these candy brands were still on the shelves, and people were still buying them.
This made myself and others pause and reflect on our eating habits and our overall lifestyle. I knew that I had to change things because I wasn’t getting enough exercise and I really needed to start choosing healthier foods. One of our favorite pastimes was constantly just getting a giant plate of chicken wings with some soda and some candies, and munching away with the AC plan blasting. I would have the temperature control settings just right in our room, rest myself in front of our immense screen cable and watch films, tv shows, or play video games. I finally decided to give up all the candy and unhealthy drinks, and switched to drinking water only and finding healthy snacks to munch on. It was not entirely self-explanatory and I do slip up on occasion, even though I have found that I’m much healthier these days. I’m also more aware of the energy United Statesge in our lake house as I’ve been looking into energy saving tips. I even have a smart thermostat now which makes it easier for myself and others to save on the energy bills. I’m ecstatic that I’m making smarter choices now, and I hope I can keep this going.
