Eating A Real Healthy Diet

By Regina Filange

It can be hard to eat healthy these days, especially with so much processed foods around us. Everywhere we go there are fast food places advertising their yummy food and tempting us. It takes a lot of will power to stay on the right track eating a healthy diet. Eating well can help you stay healthy.

Eating correctly means taking in the right amount of calories. Normally we need about two thousand calories a day to stay healthy. It can depend on each person, though. Everyone is a little bit different. Age, sex, weight, activity and height make a difference in the amount of calories that you will need.

You need to eat many different types of food. This means eating the foods that you normally wouldn't. Eat more fruits, vegetables and whole grains. These foods are great for the body.

Portion control is also important. It is difficult to do- most restaurants give at least twice as much food as we should have on their plates. If you do go out a lot try splitting your meal or you can even try and order from the appetizer menu.

Most people do not drink enough water. Most are actually dehydrated. Water is essential for our bodies to function properly and stay healthy. Our bodies are 75% water so it is important. Water flushes the toxins and waste out of our systems. They help the kidneys and the bladder to stay healthy. Water also can help us to feel more full so we do not eat as much.

Make sure that the foods that you eat don't have too much salt and sugar. Especially try and stay away from any of the processed foods. You can have some of these foods but not very much. Eat them in moderation. You can really pack on pounds from these types of foods. Stay away from soda as much as you can. Soda can really add a lot of unwanted weight. Be careful!

So when eating a healthy diet please remember that you are going to be healthier and happier. Eat foods that are good for your body and anything else eat in moderation. If you stick to these guidelines you should have a healthy diet in no time. You will find that your body will function better and you may even start thinking more clearly. You will really be much happier and healthier. - 17269
