lillywilliam Posted September 8, 2009 Report Posted September 8, 2009 Eating healthy is important for nurturing the areas of the body. Healthy diet foods should be chosen in lieu of processed foods in order to allow all organs to work properly, Eating healthy promotes good circulation, healthy skin, as well as the overall well being of the individual. If you already have been living off unhealthy processed foods, it is not too late to improve your diet in order to improve your overall health. Diseases such as obesity, cancer, heart disease and diabetes can be avoided in many cases by switching to foods with the appropriate amount of fat, protein and carbohydrates, high in fiber, vitamins and minerals. There is no one diet fits all, as each body is genetically predisposed to needing more or less of varied nutrients. For example, some people need to add iron to their diet because of a predisposition toward anemia. Choosing organic produce is a smart diet decision as this reduces the amount of toxins that enter the body and cause damage. With this in mind, it should become a habit to read labels, so that you can choose foods that are organic, as well as foods that are not overwhelmed with an abundance of salt, artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners and preservatives. A healthy diet foods are not particular foods included in fad diets. Rather they are foods that should be included in your diet in order to maintain a healthy mind and body. These foods encourage healthy weight, and energy levels. Macronutrients needed by the body include protein, fat and carbohydrates. Sufficient content of protein in foods in your diet is utilized for growth and repair, while the appropriate level and types of fat provide the body with energy and cell formation. Carbohydrates become reduced to glucose, with is used by the body's muscles and to energize the brain. Minerals that should be included in healthy diet foods include salt, potassium, calcium, iron, copper, and chromium. Salt is required by the body, but only in moderation. Blood pressure can be lowered with potassium, as does magnesium. Magnesium also is used for a healthy nervous system. Maintenance of bones and teeth is provided through appropriate intake of calcium, which also assists in the nervous system. Red blood cells are formed through the use of iron. One must be careful with the amount of intake, as too little can cause anemia and too much can cause death. Copper and chromium are not good for you in high doses, but are still nutrients essential for one's health. When looking for healthy diet foods, vitamins are listed on packaging as what the recommended daily allowance or RDA. Age and body weight, as well as gender somewhat dictates different levels needed of varied types of vitamins. With the abundance of vitamins and the uses of them it is best to use a multivitamin especially formulated for your gender and age. Consulting your doctor can assist you in determining what additional vitamins would best your particular health needs. Eating healthy is important for nurturing the areas of the body. Healthy diet foods should be chosen in lieu of processed foods in order to keep toxins from reversing effects of nutritious foods. Quote
pam Posted September 8, 2009 Report Posted September 8, 2009 Good information. One thing I am really starting to focus on when reading labels on food is the fat content. Due to a medical condition I have, I REALLY have to watch the amount of fat grams in any food I eat. Quote

Guest Alton Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 · Hidden Hidden If you are doing some work in which you not getting time for any exercising then you should control you diet first, Eat fruits and vegetables and veggies they are good source of nutrition avoid unhealthy meals and ready made meals....
Astun Posted May 8, 2013 Report Posted May 8, 2013 what could be better than eating healthy and natural foods and avoiding processed and refined ones? Veggies and fruits are best diet for me but cutting on any food group from diet is not a wise habit. Minimize the intake of sugar and caffeine. Quote
Guest Posted May 8, 2013 Report Posted May 8, 2013 (edited) Growing fruits and vegetables in your backyard and making it your staple food is one of the most rewarding nutrition. I'm the complete opposite of a green thumb. The best way to put a plant on death row is to give it to me as a gift. But, I found out that I can actually do aquaponics! I grew lettuce as an experiment with my existing fish tank and I was able to raise it until we could eat the leaves. Pretty good. I didn't have to do anything except make sure the water is constantly flowing... and the lettuce had more flavor than what I get off the grocery. So, I laid out a plan to build a tilapia pond cycling through a grow bed in my patio. Hope it works. I'm also trying to learn how to raise quail. It's going to be fun! And, if you're watching fat content - rabbit meat is one of the lowest in fat content. We looked into having a rabbit colony to be completely self-sufficient in bad times but my husband and I can't butcher a rabbit... In any case, this would be part of our food storage things.

Guest Kelly123 Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 · Hidden Hidden Cabbage: Already very popular in European countries and Japan, this veggie is making a place in the United states diet. Its main beneficial vitamin, sulforaphane, is expected to decrease the risk of melanoma development. It achieves this by fighting war against toxins while boosting the development of harm limiting minerals. Try shredding this delightful cure and placing it on your hamburgers or other snacks. As an substitute, you could destroy celery and green beans as an addition to a awesome side salad.__________________Buy drugs Online
