If you are consuming smoothies thinking that you are eating healthy...think again. Blending foods, even healthy foods, short circuits the natural digestive system, breaking down cell walls and fiber, freeing sugars and carbs to be too quickly absorbed into the bloodstream.

Eat food that you need to chew to swallow, allow the digestion enzymes in saliva to mix with the food, slow down and chew it thoroughly so that your body has time to send out satiety signals when you have eaten enough. Your body will thank you;)
