Once a person reaches a certain age (let’s say, around 36-40), there is a great deal of things to be thinking about. The most important one is how your progeny will live once you are gone. Even though some might think that 40 is not the right time to be thinking about that (there are […]

First, let’s define what processed foods are. Generally speaking they are those foods found in stores that have been prepared and stored for consumers. Those products on the inner isle. Products like canned or frozen foods are generally considered processed foods. White bread and even some whole wheat breads are considered processed foods. Condiments like ketchup, barbeque sauce and salad dressings are processed foods and of course fast food establishments serve processed foods. Processed foods are products that have been cooked or altered from their natural state so they can be stored long term resulting in nutrient deficient food.

Processed Foods Are Unhealthy

When food is processed, nutrients are lost, including fiber. Some products may be fortified or enriched to compensate for the lost nutrients, but fiber is not always added back to foods and the fortification or enrichment is not as beneficial as the natural whole food.

Sodium, added sugars and/or fat may be added during processing. Read the Nutrition Facts Label and Ingredient List when buying processed foods. You may be surprised at the amount of sodium and sugar! Processed foods are linked to obesity, heart disease, type 2 diabetes and other illnesses. Food processing may also alter food in ways that might increase the risk of cancer.

Processed Foods: 5 Condiments to Avoid

1. Mayonnaise. Commercially prepared mayonnaise is loaded with fats.
2. Sour Cream. Commercially prepared sour cream contains lots of fillers and preservatives.
3. Ranch Dressing. Read the label. Much of what is on the label bears little resemblance to food.
4. Ketchup. If you use commercially prepared ketchup you are getting a lot of high fructose corn syrup which quickly builds your daily sugar intake.
5. Barbeque Sauce and Steak Sauce. Again, not much that goes into these sauces can be identified as real food.

What is the solution to these processed foods?

Many will say, make your own sauces at home. That’s great advice, but is it realistic for you? Maybe not. If you’re like me, cutting down and using more healthful alternatives may be a viable solution. If you really love mayonnaise cut back, way back. I’ve found I don’t need very much. Less is better. Or, check your local health food store for a more healthful alternative. As for ketchup, I’ve found I really don’t need it. I don’t need the ketchup! Cut back or eliminate it. Your body will thank you.

Avoid fast food. You can check the nutrition facts from fast food websites. Here’s one from McDonalds. Fast food is often high in calories, sodium, sugar and fat. Fast food and processed foods are sometimes convenient, but when I remember how unhealthy they are, I stay away from them. Eating plenty of whole foods like fruits and vegetables can help prevent diabetes, heart disease, control your blood pressure and prevent some types of cancer.

What about Juicing?

I don’t consider fresh fruit and vegetable juice to be processed, but technically I guess juicing is. I use fresh fruits and vegetables from the supermarket, or better yet I grown my own. I don’t add anything to my juices unless it’s natural. I’ve found juicing to be very healthy and it helps me to get more fresh fruits and vegetables into my diet. My website, PRIME Juicers, has a lot of delicious healthy juicing recipes.

In the world of Journalism bringing information to the reader/viewer is the key to what may be happening in the world or even bringing the news of something new that may be happening!

But in this modern day of social media, such as Twitter and Facebook, where does this leave the old school journalist, you know the ones, they would leave the office, head to a local event and cover the event live, taking in what was happening, making notes in short hand and then writing it up back at the office ready for the newspaper or news show later.

The Changing Face Of Journalism

Now things are changing, yes we still do have the side of Journalism where someone will cover the event in person, that’s how I do it with Blazing Minds, travelling from one place to another to cover music gigs, shows and Comic-Cons, for me personally I make notes on a tablet, even tweeting live from an event with fans or even the artists themselves and then writing the article back at base.

But some types of journalists and I say that loosely, have taken the social media side of things that one step further away from the even being at an event, I’ve seen it happen many times, a message goes out on Twitter or Facebook about an event, where they are looking for people who have been to tell them all about it and then write an article with snippets and even photos from peoples Social Media of the event. This way, they never have to go to events to see things first hand.

May be I’m a little old school, but for me, if an event is known about and it’s local to the news offices, surely a reporter/journalist should take the time to pop on over to the event and see it for themselves first hand, as I say may be that’s me, just being a little old school.

Social Media Is It Taking Over Journalism As We Know it?

It’s something that was inevitable in the digital age, with nearly everyone owning a smart phone that is capable of Tweeting and taking photographs, it is so easy to gleam information about a current event that is news worthy and grab information quickly and easily to publish an article within minutes of something happening.

Take as an example: A busy train station on a early morning, suddenly to everyone’s surprise a train fails to come to a complete stop and hits the buffers, what happens?

People grab their mobile phones, take photos, tweet them out on Twitter with a hash tag and GEO location, which is then picked up by a local newspaper that is looking out for local news, maybe via a set of search terms on Twitter or even via a site such as Banjo, a website that shows you what is happening in your area.

Shortly after all this the news is out there, no need for a journalist to get to the scene, photographs are available and the people tweeting have now become the journalists, passing the news around, now all the newspaper etc. has to do is take that information, write a short article, pull in some tweets, even tweet the people on the scene to ask their opinion, interviews taken, job done!

Are Journalists Slowly Going To Fade Away?

I don’t think they are, with the social media constantly being a well of information, someone will need to take that information, condense it and place it an interesting article that will sell newspaper or make an interesting end piece on a news report, but then again aren’t we all know journalists in some way or another.

There are still many that will train for their journalism qualifications and will love being part of that old school type that loves to go to the events and take in everything, which is great as it is certainly an ideal way of getting to meet the actual performers for a one on one and may be get that exclusive that others wouldn’t get because they weren’t there at the time.

How Would You Define Journalism?

In today’s world of the blogger, we are all journalists, may be the qualifications aren’t there and you don’t work for a newspaper etc. but, by reporting news on your blog or reviews, you are a journalist, even here in the UK when you apply for a Press Pass, you can select blogger and if the majority of your work is for your blog, such as mine with the film and event reviews, you can get your Press Card for an annual fee.

So on to the question, how would you define journalism? Do you class you yourself as a journalist with your blog are you reporting on local events or even getting published by local newspapers or magazine?
