Eating a balanced diet provides energy to your body, with nutrients keeping your heart, brain, and muscles active, giving you the motor-functions to live. The better your body is at keeping your main organs working, the lower your risk for developing chronic health problems. Eating more vegetables can help lower blood pressure and better regulate main body processes. Improving eating habits will provide you with a healthy weight and a healthy mind. A variety of foods in moderation is the key to making sure your body is running smoothly and feeling good.
In nutrition, a variety of nutrient-dense foods are important, as there is no single source for good nutrients. Healthy vegetables and protein should be eaten at a higher consumption rate, while carbohydrates and fruit can also be consumed from good quality sources. If you are consuming lots of high-quality food from high-value sources, it is naturally easy to control your portions and moderate reasonable intake according to your personal needs.
Simple ways to prepare food can leave eating healthy meals uncomplicated. Raw salads, fruits, and vegetable juices are delicious meals that can be created easily. Having healthy snacks close to you can satiate your appetite and stop you from craving fast food or sugary snacks. Alcohol and refined sugar should be avoided, as there are many empty calories, leaving you craving more.
Bringing your own packed lunch to work is a great solution as only you know what works for your dietary intake. Scrambling to find healthy meals on the fly and forcing yourself to eat things just because they’re good for you is not a sustainable dietary lifestyle.
Skipping meals or eliminating foods are not healthy food decisions, as this may lead to a decrease of nutrition diversity (eating the same foods) and over-indulging in unbalanced meals. Foods are not “good” or “bad” for you, it’s all about having ingredients with higher nutritional value and moderating such foods according to your dietary needs.
Water intake should be monitored, as the effects of dehydration lead to worsened health like frequent headaches, lack of sleep, and mood swings. Water also aids in blood circulation: removing toxins and regulating our body temperatures.
