What is meal planning for an adult?

Answer 1

STAY AWAY FROM UNNATURAL AND BOXED FOODS

A decent meal plan for anyone whether young or old should be mostly based on:

A RAW FOOD diet. This is meaning, most of your food should come in the form as mother nature intended. For example, If you want to get your daily intake of magnesium and B12 for the day, instead of solely relying on a vitamin, or having a smoothie that CLAIMS to have all the nutrients you need in it, it would be much better for you to just eat a plain banana.

FOODS COLOURFUL AND HIGH IN ANTIOXIDENTS:

Your diet should be mostly colourful. Anything that is organic or naturally colorful like raw fruits and veggies are good for you. Jasmine rice is supposed to be very healthy for you. Pomegranate, corn, blueberries, salmon, banana, lemon, spinach, and broccoli are popular super foods as they are powerful in energy, antioxidants, and minerals essential for the body. Potatoes are high in starch and can be bad for you depending on how you prepare them, but actually they should be a huge stable in your food holding phosphorous, magnesium, zinc, b12 and other beneficial vitamins and minerals that you cannot obtain through many other veggies.

STICK WITH LEAN MEAT

Chicken is a lean meat, so is lean ground beef. These are perfect for people with heart problems, trying to loose weight, or trying to stay fit. Beef is okay here and there especially if you have low iron as they are rich in iron and other minerals. I would stay away from most beef and heavier mets only if you suffer from heart problems , or just eat it sparingly as beef and heavy meats can be very high in cholesterol. Save those meats for a treat on the bbq! :)

TEA TO START AND END YOUR DAY!

Tea is VERY good for you, especially if you can get organic tea. The best are chamomile and Green Tea. Drink Green tea in the morning with some honey to help you wake up, flush your system and fill you full of disease ridding antioxidants, then end the day with a nice steeped chamomile tea with some chopped up ginger root for soothing sore muscles, headaches, toothaches, cramps, and to trigger sleepiness. It is also a powerful antioxidant.Make sure to let the Chamomile steep a little longer than an average tea, try (10 - 15 mins) for best results!

FAT KEEPS YOU YOUNG

Eggs and nuts are great for getting those healthy fats, omega 3 and amino acids into you! They are great with almost any dish. Be careful with nuts though, only a small hand full is good enough for a whole days intake as they are surprisingly high in fat. Healthy fats are essential to keep your hair, nails and skin tissue healthy as well as keep the signs of aging at bay.

STAY AWAY FROM HIGHLY ACIDIC AND PRESERVED/OVER PROCESSED FOODS!

Some tips: Try to lay off milk and bread as much as you can as they have high PH (high in acidity). Yes milk holds calcium and other good vitamins, but you gotta think of how it's pumped full of antibiotics, and chemicals to preserve it longer. You can find similar benefits as milk in leafy greens such as Kale or Spinach. As for bread, most of it is so refined and pumped full of preservatives that you can hardly call it bread. Bread can be a great way to fill an empty stomach while in a hurry though. So if trying to watch your calories, just find moments when it is only necessary to have one slice of bread instead of two. Too much acidity in your blood can cause all kinds of problem such as headaches, constipation, and a whole slew of unpleasant symptoms. I can also disrupt you on a molecular level and put you at risk for disease.

JUMP START YOUR METABOLISM AND MAINTAIN WATER WEIGHT

They say that Green Tea in the morning and bananas in the morning can help jump start your metabolism. Banana is a natural way to help maintain water weight. If you find you are retaining water weight, then that probably means that you are dehydrated and you need to start drinking more water. Water retention is a sign of dehydration and is your body's way of storing water to keep it hydrated in an emergency. Water also helps flush the body of toxins. It helps get rid of headaches and prevent sickness.

DONT' DEPRIVE YOUR ENGINE OF FUEL AND OIL!

DO NOT EVER crash diet or starve yourself! Starving yourself will only put the body into shock and make it store fat to survive, while crash dieting can make you sick, because within those fats cells there are toxins from the crap we put in our bodies and if you are not burning energy, or drinking water then there is no way for those toxins to be released from your body which can cause many problems.

SUGAR IS A SILENT KILLER

In the West our foods are FULL of sugar! There are sugar in products that we wouldn't even think sugar should be in. It is used as a filler and to enhance flavour in just about EVERYTHING, even a lot random things like frozen vegetables? Not only is sugar a temporary fix for energy, but it also can over time do terrible damage to your insides! On a molecular level sugar is sharp and will over time scrape and wear down the insides of your veins, therefore making you at high risk for Heart disease and worse.

MANAGE YOUR MEAL INTAKE

And a last little tip: Instead of eating 3 big meals a day, opt out the big dinner plates and eat three smaller portioned meals a day, followed by 3 -4 snacks in between. This will keep your energy and blood sugar at a steady level as well as allow you to stay satisfied and energized through the day and eat less. It is much more healthy than starving all through work and school then coming home and gorging on a bunch of salty and sugary or starchy food to fill that ravenous hunger you've put yourself through all day. Just remember! Your body is your temple literally! It's the vessel you use to enjoy your day to day activities in life. Respect it, love it and take care of it! I hope this all helped! From a loving soul who has done A LOT of research! :) <3
