Ways to Eat Healthily
It is a universally accepted fact that if you wish to maintain robust health, you
must eat only healthy food. Eating healthy food does not necessarily mean you
should be on a permanent diet program. On the contrary, healthy eating simply
means eating the right kind of food, in right quantities and at the right time.
To be more precise, you should have a heavy breakfast, moderate lunch and a
frugal dinner. This concept of healthy eating means you should consume as much
nutrients as your body needs and avoid fancy food that has no nutritional value.
Most people are accustomed to having three meals a day – of these the breakfast
is very important and should never be skipped. You can occasionally skip lunch
or dinner, but not eating your breakfast can result in unwanted health
complications including obesity and malnutrition.
Make sure your breakfast menu has all the nutrients your system needs like
whole eggs, bacon, whole wheat bread, and fruit juice. Most health care experts
opine breakfast should contain some sort of fruit - grapefruit, banana, apple or
orange, it is vital to get at least three servings of fruit at your breakfast.
As regards lunch, it is preferable not to over-eat much since you have already
received the much needed energy from your breakfast. Besides, most office-goers
and business people seldom get the time to indulge in physical activity after lunch
and the food takes much longer to digest. A heavy lunch can also lead to
drowsiness and an unhealthy afternoon nap.
You dinner should be very light and the less you eat the better as over-eating at
night can result to a lot of discomforts especially during bedtime and it is wholly
inadvisable to go to sleep with a heavy stomach. However, if you are terribly
hungry at night and in need of a full meal, at least try to eat a few hours before
bedtime to allow your system to digest food.
Whole vegetables have lots of vitamins and minerals, so eat more green, orange
and yellow vegetables. Steam them to retain the nutritional value and, in any
case, avoid frying them. Baked fish and chicken are any day healthier than fried
ones and lean meats like bison or venison may be healthier than higher fat beef.
You can however have good quantity of fish if you are fond of sea food.
Eat sparingly sugary snacks, cakes and other confectionary items and make it a
point to consume them only during festival time. If you can give up the
temptation to eat desserts after every meal, the healthier you will be. However,
remember to eat a variety of foods to obtain all types of vitamins and minerals
you need to stay healthy.
Please know processed meats, hot dogs, bacon, and sausages contain a lot of
saturated fat and nitrates your body can do without. If you love these types of
food, you can find healthier versions of them available in health food stores.
As regards beverages, drink plenty of water, milk and pure fruit and vegetable
juices and avoid, as far as possible aerated soft drinks. If you dislike plain water,
you may add a slice of lemon to create a pleasant flavor. You will be doing
yourself a great service if you restrict the intake of tea and coffee.
