t you eat, you need to ask yourself – “Is this
really good for me?”
Here are some tips to put you on your way to eating a healthy
diet.
1.Eat in moderation. Don’t overeat! Just because you love
pizza doesn’t mean you need to eat every slice you can. When
food is available, constrain yourself to eat a moderate portion
not a =EChealthy heaping portion.=EE
2.Drink Water! Drinking about 8 glasses of 8 ounces a day can
do wonders for your health. Water is used throughout your body
in many ways. It is a natural diuretic and replenishes your
body with liquid at the same time.
3.Eat fruits and vegetables. The vitamins and minerals your
body needs to function properly need to come from a natural
source. Fruits and vegetables are nature’s snack food. They
are a great sources of fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C and
antioxidants, and many other nutrients. Many experts even
believe that fruits and veggies should be the mainstay of your
diet.
It is recommended that you eat between five and nine helpings
of fruits and vegetables a day. Mix the colors of fruits and
vegetables so you can get a healthy mix of vitamins and
nutrients.
4.Eat Lean Meat! Eating meat with a lot of fat can raise your
cholesterol level and contribute to other health issues.
Eating lean meat is healthy for you in a number of ways. It
reduces your fat intake that could raise your cholesterol
level. Many of the feeds that cattle are now eating contain
chemicals that may reside in the fatty tissues. Look for
organic meat to avoid this issue. Organic meat comes from
cattle that eat grass and are not given hormones for growth.
When eating can be so easy, you don’t have any excuse to not
eat healthy!
