Healthy Eating

Healthy eating is not about strict nutrition philosophies, staying unrealistically thin, or depriving yourself of the food you love. Rather, it's about feeling great, having more energy and keeping youself as healthy as possible - all of which can be achieved by learning some nutrition basics and using them in a way that works for you.

Healthy eating begins with learning "how to eat smart"-it's not just what you eat, but how you eat. Your food choices can reduce your risk of illness such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes, as well as defend against depression. Additionally, learning the habits of healthy eating can boost your energy, sharpen your memory and stabalise your mood. You can expand your range of healthy food choices and learn how to plan ahead to create and maintain a satisfying, healthy diet.

I would like also to share some useful information about how to eat in a healthy way. The most basic way is we can eat more fruits and vegetables rather than eat meat. Research shows that eating a rainbow of fruits and veggies provides many benefit, including protection against cancer, heart disease, and the effect of aging. Second way is, we can eat more fiber. not only fiber keep you full, it also can help you lose weight as well as lower your risk for cancer. An easy way to fit more fiber into your diet is to swap out white bread for whole grains. Third ways is, becoming a smart shopper. When shopping, do what nutritionists do. check out the nutrition content for things like no or low saturated fat, low sodium, and high fiber. That's all I can share about.
