Healthy living – Proper food diets
Just like exercise, a healthy diet reduces the risk of disease-heart disease, cancer, diabetes, stroke, and
osteoporosis-that are leading causes of death and disability among American women. A healthy food diet can also reduce
risk factors for chronic problems such as obesity, high blood pressure and elevated cholesterol.
Startling revelations about nutrition
Women now consume 1,877 calories per day compared to 1,542 calories per day in 1971, an increase of 335 calories. That is
equivalent to a large chocolate chip cookie or 1-1/2 cups of cooked pasta every day and is equivalent to 2/3 lb. weight gain every
week. You would have to walk over an hour a day to burn that off.
Despite increased calorie consumption, many women are undernourished. Over time we have increased the amount of food we
eat, and, unfortunately, the increase has come from simple carbohydrates, such as bagels, cookies, chips and sodas.
Many of us are simply confused about what it means to eat healthy.
What we need to do is construct a healthy food diet that we can live with for the rest of our lives.
So, let's begin with a brief
lesson in healthy eating.
You need to know that your body is a fuel-burning machine.
There are three essential nutrients we require in our food plan: complex carbohydrates, protein and a moderate amount of the
right fat. Complex carbohydrates provide your body with necessary energy.
Protein is the building block of the body, repairing cells and helping to create new muscle. Fat has several roles:
1. Energy production.
2. Membrane structure.
3. Immune system function.
Healthy Diet Rule #1: Eat small meals frequently. When you are really hungry. And always, always, always eat breakfast.
Healthy Diet Rule #2: At each meal make sure to include one serving of protein, one serving of complex carbohydrate
and some fat (the right kind).
Examples of Protein - fish, chicken, meat, nuts, beans, eggs.
Examples of Complex Carbohydrates
- oatmeal, whole grains, brown rice, whole wheat pasta.
Examples of Fat - not solid at room temperature such as olive oil, fish oil.
Healthy Diet Rule #3: Be sure your serving sizes are moderate. Don't pile so much on your plate so you'll feel stuffed by
the time you finish it. Stop when you are no longer hungry.
Healthy Diet Rule #4: Eliminate sugar.
Healthy Diet Rule #5: Eliminate alcohol.
Healthy Diet Rule #6: Limit fat.
Healthy Diet Rule #7: Drink approximately 8 glasses of water every day.
Healthy Diet Rule #8: Every now and then give yourself a break and eat exactly what you want no matter what it is. Just
be sure to limit the number of times you succumb to those urges or you will be sabotaging all your positive actions.
NUTRITION GENERATOR
Now, I know it’s easy to say, “Eat right”. I also know that it’s not always easy to figure out exactly what that means. Most
women don’t know how to put together healthy meals using proper foods that will satisfy their appetites and meet their nutritional
needs.
That’s why I’m so excited about the nutritional program that I have found. It’s called Nutrition Generator and it is so easy to
use. You actually can plan healthy and balanced meals using all the foods you love.
SO,If you are sick and tired of 'fad diets' that are unhealthy and just don't work, try this program.
If you are looking for a
well-balanced nutritional program that is custom-tailored to you, try this program.
Most 'computerized' nutritional programs don't work for four big reasons:
They give you 'pre-programmed' meals which don't take into account foods you like to eat (you will never stick to a
program that includes food you don't like eating!)
The meals are unbalanced and unhealthy as most diets lack proper vitamins, minerals and nutrients (this leaves you tired
and unsuccessful sticking to your program)
The programs are just too darn confusing to use (they require spreadsheets and hours to enter data to setup your meals)
The programs are too expensive (many professional programs that nutritionist's use can cost up to $1,000 or more...)
