The MN State Fair starts this Thursday. I will be with Showcase MN giving suggestions on how to eat healthy at the fair. Most fairs have the same food items, so even if you are in a different area here are some of my favorite picks.
Have you ever noticed that you can eat a lot of junk food, but you never feel satisfied? Well, our brain is brilliant?it knows what nutrients we need to survive. So we produce hormones that send hunger pains and cravings. For example, leptin is our hormone that gives us a ?satisfied? feeling. Leptin doesn't kick in when we consume too much fructose. And if you experience cravings for chocolate, it usually is because of a magnesium deficiency (chocolate is very high in magnesium). Cravings for salt can mean a zinc deficiency (oysters are very high in zinc).
When we eat packaged and convenience "food" without macro and micronutrients, we never feel satisfied and end up overeating. Here are some options at the fair that contain some of these important nutrients and NO TRANS-FAT.
