Tips For Healthy Eating

Healthy eating is a way of balancing the food you


eat to keep your body in great health. With healthy


eating, you'll have energy all day, get the vitamins


and minerals you need, stay strong for activities


you enjoy, and maintain a healthy weight.




Below, you'll find tips designed to help you with


healthy eating.




1. Don't skip any meals


Eating 3 meals with snacks in between is the ideal


way to maintain both energy and a healthy weight.


When you skip meals and get hungry, you're more


than likely to choose foods that aren't very good


for you.




If you are eating away from home, take food with


you or know where you can buy healthy food from.




2. Learn about how to prepare foods


Instead of deep frying, try grilling, stir frying,


microwaving, baking, and even boiling. You should


also try fresh or even dried herbs and spices to


add flavor to your food. Before you eat any type


of meat, be sure to trim the fat and skin off of


it.




3. Avoid a lot of sugar


Drinks that contain sugar are a major source of


empty energy. What this means, is that the drinks


contain a lot of energy that your body may not


need, and it doesn't contain any vitamins or


minerals. If you plan to drink sugary drinks,


don't go overboard - limit yourself to 1 a day.




4. Avoid thinking about diets


There are no good food nor any bad foods. All


food can be a part of a healthy diet, when eaten


in moderation. You don't need to buy any low


carb, fat free, or even diet foods, as these foods


normally have lots of other added ingredients


to replaces the carbohydrates or fat.
