Daily Health Tip

Are you a popcorn lover? I'm sure you keep hearing from everywhere that popcorn isn't good for you, the butter and salt negate any healthy effects the kernels might have.


I SAY DIFFERENT! YOU NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOU'RE UP AGAINST! YOU NEED TO BE PREPARED!

Okay, well not that intense. Sometimes I channel my inner Mad-Eye and I just can't help it. But seriously though, popcorn is a GREAT snack, it's a 55 on the Glycemic Index, high in fiber, and it's tasty to boot. You only need to know how to make it healthy!

Firstly, do yourself a favor and get a hot air popcorn machine. This thing is only $20, Amazon Prime free shipping, two day delivery. If you love popcorn, it's a must.
