Energy Level After Fast food vs. Fresh Foods

 

  

We have always been told that fresh foods are better for us than fast food, but have you ever wondered why? What makes fresh food better and what effect does it actually have on our bodies? There are many ingredients in fast foods that increase health risk as well as decrease our energy level throughout the day.

One of the main effects fresh foods have on our bodies are, our energy level. Our energy level depends a lot on what we put in our bodies. Eating fresh foods makes you burn more calories, which in turn gives you more energy and keeps you healthy. Fresh foods are foods that are found in nature. They provide us with the natural nutrients we need to have a high energy level and good health. After eating fast food or fried food, your energy level is more than likely going to be low and you will not feel like doing much with your day. This is due to the processing that the foods go through before it becomes your meal. It has added fat, trans fat, sugar, and sodium. These are all key ingredients to an unhealthy meal. An increase in these ingredients is what’s responsible for common diseases such as heart disease and obesity. After you eat fresh foods you will feel as if you can take on the day and get everything you had planned to get done, completed.

At La Bottega, we pride ourselves on providing our customers with delicious fresh foods. It is our goal to deliver you the foods that are not only delicious, but are healthy and make you feel good. Our seasonal ingredients make our meals that much fresher and healthier for everyone to enjoy.

History of the Panini

Paninis have become a very popular lunch time favorite. Originally Italian panino means "small bread, bread roll", today paninis are available in a variety of cuisines. Paninis are really just sandwiches usually pressed down toasted in a panini press. With countless filings, paninis typically come warm on a ciabatta, focaccia, baguette or rosetta roll. Here at La Bottega we’ve made it our mission to provide an excellent panini for whatever you’re in the mood for. Steak, chicken, shrimp, ham, veggies- guacamole, salsa aioli, balsamic, broccoli rabe, marinara sauce and countless other toppings and cheeses we have you covered with dozens and dozens of paninis on our menu.

Originally, the panini was invented for working class Italians who needed something easy to take with them to lunch. The panini usually consisted of cured meats like salami or prosciutto that did not need to be refrigerated, on a rustic bread. Paninis usually weren't toasted like they are today and were eaten as a snack or quick meal on the go. As far back 1956 the panini has been referenced in America. These trendy italian sandwiches became such in Milan bars called paninoteche, in the 1970s and ‘80s. Not long after U.S. restaurants caught the trend and started selling paninis, particularly in New York.

Grab it on the go or come in and take a seat. We have over 50 paninis from our foggia with eggplant and smoked mozzarella to our como with prosciutto and fontina or even a seafood version with our spolento with shrimp and guacamole. Whatever you’re in the mood for we have a panini for every palette.
