RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:
If you want be healthy & look/feel your best you need to learn how to read labels. Here's a few examples of labeling buzz words meant to confuse or trick you:
•"DIET" & "CALORIE/SUGAR/FAT-FREE" means there are chemical fillers in that food/drink. Anything artificial the body cannot metabolize = turned into body fat.
•"WHOLE WHEAT" can mean it's just the skin of grain. Unless it says "100% whole grain" it's not the whole of anything.
•"NATURAL." The U.S. FDA does not define nor regulate this term. If the food does not contain added color, artificial flavors or synthetic substances it may be labeled "natural."
•"ORGANIC" means a farm must have been pesticide/herbicide free for at least three years. An organic label indicates 95% of the product is organic. A product with at least 70% organic ingredients can be labeled “made with organic ingredients.”
