I didn't know you were a nutrionist too d/r. lol
Thanks for the education. I never knew that about the milk or that fruit is a better option than whole grains for some.
Blending, well according to greesmoothiegirl, allows more absorption of nutrients? But you have to have a good blender-the one I used doesn't break the particles down that small.
I agree about nutrition and signals/noise - its hard to sort through and it also has bipolar characteristics - one day something is good for you - the next day its bad.
It's important too for anxiety suffers. Blood sugar deviations are really bad for anxiety. I've tried to tell this to my son, who has adopted vending-machine breakfasts like I used to do when I was younger. He has ADD and anxiety, but contends pills make you worse. I worry about his health when he goes all day w/o eating, but at least he has a pain in the *ss mother who always tells him about nutrition and mental health. I keep telling him "you don't want to end up like me". Some of it sinks in-not all-but some.
Des, it's not as much work to make the smoothies if you buy the frozen berries (blueberries blackberries and strawberries). Saves a lot of time; they are already washed and cleaned. actually they are much fresher-1/2 the berries in the stores have mold in them if you look at the bottom of the container or real closely. But I get motivated to buy fresh pineapples when they are on sale for $1.99 - they are a pain. But good for grilling with fish or chicken too.
It's tough keeping up with healthful eating for anyone that suffers anxiety or depression, etc. When I'm at my worst, I've sometimes gone a few weeks cooking everything from scratch/nothing with a label, but then can't keep up with it. I go back and forth. It really is a lot of work. It seems though recently, my healthy stretches are a lot longer than they used to last, despite being ill.
Sorry you were grumpy :(
