I would like to share some helpful information with you on healthy eating. I know you have heard it all before, but healthy eating is a very important part of your life. What we put in our bodies has an effect on how we feel on the inside and even on how we look on the outside. It is important to know what you should be eating every day and what you should not eat. And then you should strive to change your eating habits.
It is a fact that what we eat has an effect on how our body feels and how it performs. Personally, I want to feel and perform at my best and I bet you feel the same way. Excluding certain food groups is a bad idea, because each and every group gives your body different vitamins and nutrients it needs. Excluding all fats is just as bad as excluding all vegetables. According to the Food and Drug Administration's food pyramid, there are six major food groups: -Fats, oils, and sweets: these foods like butter and candy should be used sparingly. -Dairy: milk, yogurt, and cheese are important for calcium and other nutrients and 2-3 servings should be consumed per day. 1 serving = 8 oz. of milk or a domino size portion of cheese. -Meat, poultry, fish, beans: this group is important because of protein. However many of these items can be high in fat so it is good to eat 2-3 servings. 1 serving of meat = 1 deck of cards (3 oz.). -Vegetables: broccoli, carrots, asparagus, etc. offer many vitamins and nutrients. You should eat 3-5 servings. -Fruits: apples, oranges, blueberries, etc. provide nutrients and antioxidants. You should aim for 2-4 servings. -Grains: bread, cereal, rice, and pasta are important. Fiber is a particularly important ingredient in grains. You should get 6-11 servings every day. 1 serving = 1 slice of bread. It is important for you to figure out what a serving is. You might be surprised by how different your perception of a serving is. Moderation is the key to healthy eating. You might have to do a little research to see how much a serving is of the foods you are eating. A good place to start is by looking at the label. I encourage you to start making changes today to your eating habits. Changes you make today are changes you will see in your attitude about yourself and your relationship with food in the future. I promise you will like the changes you see. Happy Learning, Yovan P.
