Too Busy to Eat Healthy?

30. May 2009 by Patricia.

On my way to a Hatha Yoga class this morning at my local gym, a sign by the Café caught my attention – “Too Busy to Eat Healthy? – No Problem” – and then the ad offered a so-called healthy product that featured whey protein and antioxidants.

The problem, of course, is not how to eat healthy when we are too busy. The problem is how to be less busy so we can eat healthy. When life becomes too rushed to eat healthy, the problem goes beyond drinking a whey protein concoction. If health reflects our physical, mental, spiritual and emotional well-being, then “busyness” is a clue that we may be off balance. If we pay attention to that part of the equation and consider how our life became so busy that we cannot eat well, then we keep moving in a healthy direction.

Taking a short cut with a protein beverage once in a while can make sense, but it is all too easy to fall into the habit of thinking we are too busy to eat right, move our bodies and find quiet time.

It all comes down to how we want to live each and every moment of our lives.
