If You Want To Feel Great, You Need To Eat Right

Nutrition begins with the foods you put in your body, proceeds to absorption, and culminates in elimination. Too often the advice we hear about nutrition focuses only on food choices. This is certainly important. But we react to foods differently. These tips can help you choose good foods , but also help you understand your personal metabolism.

Buy organic versions of food considered part of the “dirty dozen”. These foods may have an unacceptable amount of pesticides on them. These include apples, spinach, peaches, and others. If you can’t find or afford organic foods, spend the time to wash your food well. Some foods on the “clean list” do not need to be organic.

Fat is not your enemy. Cutting fat out of your diet or eating very little fat can be harmful to you. Eat fat as part of a well-balanced diet. There is no need to eat a carton of ice cream in one sitting, but a bowl is fine. Everything in moderation.

Feed your child healthy snacks. Ignore those pre-packaged sugary snacks, and introduce your child to healthy snacks disguised as fun treats! Dip a banana in vanilla yogurt, roll it in crushed cereal, and freeze. Spread frozen yogurt on two graham crackers and fill with sliced bananas to make a tasty ‘sandwich’. Mix cornflakes with peanut butter, roll into balls and cover with crushed graham crackers. Spread peanut butter on apple slices. Mix together cereal, nuts and dried fruit in a small bag for a healthy travel snack.

Beat the blues with a healthy diet. Certain foods can help to fight depression, so it is important to keep your mental health at its best, by following a healthy diet. Eat fish that are high in Omega-3 fatty acids, such as salmon, sardines and tuna, and don’t forget plenty of fruits and vegetables, as they are packed with essential vitamins and minerals. If you suffer from seasonal affective disorder, always take a vitamin D supplement in the fall and winter months.

If you just can’t give up foods rich in cholesterol such as bacon, butter, or egg yolks, many kinds of vegetable foods have fiber, which can reduce your absorption of cholesterol. It is best to eat these at the same time, for example, oatmeal with some bacon, rather than at different times, like bacon for breakfast and broccoli at lunch.

Always read your nutrition labels when you are purchasing food from a store. You can make yourself aware of ingredients to avoid and also make healthier choices to add to your diet. Keeping track of food this way can ensure that you do not overeat by providing you with serving sizes.

We hope these tips will help you sort out the bewildering array of food choices and find those best for you. They have also mentioned the value of consulting a professional nutritionist, and explained more about the intricacies of your digestive system. They are meant to help you give your body the right foods–both for good health and enjoyment.
