The phrase 'You are What You Eat?' means that to be healthy, a person must eat nutritiously. The human mind and body mirrors what goes into it. If a person is not getting proper nutrients, it shows in the individual's body. On the flip side, a person's looks and overall condition improves with a quality regime of nutritious foods, including fresh fruits and vegetables.
The federal government provides these suggestions for a healthy diet:
Stress fruits, whole grains, vegetables, and low-fat milk products
Include lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts
Limit oils, fats, salt and sugar
It's critical to eat different kinds of food. A varied, balanced diet is one that includes all the food groups. In other words, have foods from every color, every day. Eat less of some foods, and more of others. Eat less red meat and oils and more fruits, vegetables, grains, and dairy foods.
Food Groups
Choose from the following food groups:
- Breads, Cereal, Rice and Pasta
- Fats, Oils, and Sugars
- Fruits
- Meat, Poultry, Fish, Beans, Eggs, Nuts
How much an individual eats is also of importance. Even though foods such as bread and cheese are part of the recommended food groups, it is not wise to over indulge in either. Too many calories or empty calories are a negative for overall good health.
Drink plenty of water. Water is necessary to convey nutrients to cells, carry waste away, and keep the body hydrated.
Rewards
The foods a person ingests are reflected in body shape, the fullness and sheen of the hair and the clearness and smoothness of the skin. Look in the mirror. What is visible? There are a multitude of differences between humans and animals, but also some similarities; one of these is in the area of behavioral conditioning. Don't reward yourself with food.
A healthy diet can reduce the risk of life-altering illnesses, such as Heart disease, Diabetes, and osteoporosis. If a person eats a variety of foods that are healthy, natural and nutritious, the body rewards itself with good health.
