Life is too short… You work a full time job, take care of your family, make time to see your friends, and even try to squeeze in a quick sweat-sesh at the gym some days. After all this, you may barely get enough time to make yourself a healthy home cooked-meal. Taking care of your health is all about balance but there may be days when you end up overindulging in a pint of double-chocolate ice cream or a box of fudge cookies—feeling guilty about seemingly putting your health aside.
