What do we know about Healthy Diet?

A Healthy Diet contains a balance of food groups and all nutrients necessary to promote good health and a good health is one key to a healthy living which consists of positive social activities, hygiene, stress management and health care.  A healthy diet involves consuming all nutrients and adequate amounts of water.  Composition of nutrients that are needed for our health growth includes macronutrients (proteins, fat and carbohydrates), energy (chemical reaction from food), minerals, vitamins and fiber.

The concept of healthy eating in our country is never taken too seriously by most of us because of our environment and lifestyle though there is campaign run by the authorities and individuals to practice healthy diet.  It is also notified that chronic health risks such as obesity, heart diseases, diabetes and cancer mostly caused by improper eating habit.

How do we maintain healthy diet?        

·        The basic principle of healthy diet is to eat a wide variety of foods from natural sources. It is important because different foods contribute different nutrition. Apart from fruits, vegetables, grain, legumes (foods high in complex carbohydrates), fiber, vitamins and minerals. Low fat food and cholesterol free should make up the bulk of calories you consume. The rest should come from lean meat or poultry and fish.

·        Maintain a balance between calorie intake and expenditure, for example, do not eat more then your body can utilize or otherwise you will gain weight.  More active or do fitness activity (sports) balance to your leisure activity (watching TVs etc).

A healthy diet doesn’t mean to eating foods that are bland or unappealing or in other words you can’t eat cheeseburger but just be sure to limits how frequently you eating such foods.

 

Healthy living…

In long terms our body got effected from what we’re eating everyday from the day one. The foods that we eat influenced our daily activities so does it effects our health.  A healthy person have a healthy mind and body, there it continues to build happiness too.

The British Heart Foundation said “you are what you eat’ and have guidance towards what is recommended for our daily eating habits.

Today, most restaurants operators or food manufacturers don’t really bother about nutrition content of selling food product as long as they making profits. It is important for us to have knowledge of what to eat on daily basis.
