Posted in Health No Comments »

“Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.”

–  Franklin P. Jones.
long-distance relationship couple

The first few things that might come to your mind when you hear about a long-distance relationship are video calls, text messages, and social media tags. Having a mobile phone and uninterrupted internet connections at your fingertips helps you keep the relationship going. However, lack of physical proximity often leads to emotional complications.

Especially peanuts, Smartfood, and some of the carbohydrate foods listed at the bottom. Despite calling them all out as unhealthy foods, they aren’t all technically that bad for you, it’s just good to examine the nutritional details and figure out where we can make the best decisions.

If you take this list literally, it will just aggravate you, so take it with a grain of salt… or maybe a grain of whole wheat.

There are many terms that are misleading in the food advertising industry today. Think of how many times you see healthy phrases plastered all over food containers.
