A healthy, home-cooked meal on the table doesn’t take as much time as you think. Simple, nutritious foods can make tasty meals, and planning in advance will help you use your time wisely. Try cooking extra for use at another meal, or freezing small portions to defrost later. Healthy convenience foods like pre-washed, ready-to-eat vegetables or pre-cut fresh meat skewers can also be time savers.
Myth
No one needs an energy drink. Energy drinks might give you a short burst of energy, but it won’t last. Energy drinks contain a lot of sugar, sometimes up to 14 teaspoons of sugar! The best way to get energized is to eat well, be active, stay hydrated and get enough sleep.
