Healthy Tips
Healthy Eating

Author: Adrianne / Comments: 0

Eating a healthy, balanced diet provides nutrients to your body. These nutrients give you energy and keep your heart beating, your brain active, and your muscles working.

Nutrients also help build and strengthen bones, muscles, and tendons and also regulate body processes, such as blood pressure.

The heart of healthy food

The principle of healthy eating

The principle behind healthy eating is very simple: eat food as it is in the nature, real, fresh, whole food, not complicated and man made (at least be careful about the proportion!) Try to achieve a balance with the foods you eat and include lots of variety and remember, do all things in moderation!

Reasons to eat healthy

Food is medicine because it can relieve chronic problems. Some of the conditions that are influenced by what you are eating are: fatigue, headaches, nasal congestions, brain fog, eczema, depression, abdominal pain, inflammation, joint pain, muscle pain, diabet, acne, migraines, asthma etc.

Good nutrition can lower your risk of developing a range of chronic diseases. For example, eating more fruit and vegetables can help lower blood pressure and may lower your risk of certain types of cancer (such as colorectal, breast, lung and prostate cancer). Eating less saturated fat may also lower your risk of heart disease.

Healthy eating can also help people that already have some types of disease or illness such as diabetes, high cholesterol and blood pressure. And, of course, improving your eating habits will contribute to you achieving and maintaining a healthy weight.

Who the heck wants to do this if it’s going to be about suffering and deprivation?

I don’t want that, right? I want to wake up every morning and feel good and enjoy my life

and enjoy what I’m eating. And you know what? You can.
