Eating A Real Healthy Diet

By Regina Filange

Eating a healthy diet can improve your life dramatically. It can help you to become healthier, have more energy and helps you to just feel great overall. Eating well can keep your weight at a normal level and that can help with heart disease and diabetes.

Eating correctly means taking in the right amount of calories. Normally we need about two thousand calories a day to stay healthy. It can depend on each person, though. Everyone is a little bit different. Age, sex, weight, activity and height make a difference in the amount of calories that you will need.

Your body needs a lot of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and even water. When you eat foods that are not in these categories you should do so in moderation. High calorie foods should also be eaten in moderation. Try portion control when you eat. This will allow you to eat the foods you want but not have as much.

Portion control is also important. It is difficult to do- most restaurants give at least twice as much food as we should have on their plates. If you do go out a lot try splitting your meal or you can even try and order from the appetizer menu.

One of the most important things that you can do to stay healthy is to drink more water. Since our bodies are 75% water we need to make sure that we are drinking enough. We need water to flush out our systems and the kidneys and the bladder. We need to get rid of the waste and toxins. Most people are actually dehydrated and don't even realize it. Plus, water can help you feel more full throughout the day.

Don't eat that much food with sugar and salt. Processed foods are also not good. Limit how much you take in your body. Did you know that in one year if you just drink on can of soda you can gain sixteen pounds? It's true- it is one thing that we don't think much about but soda can really defeat our whole diet if we don't be careful.

So when eating a healthy diet please remember that you are going to be healthier and happier. Eat foods that are good for your body and anything else eat in moderation. If you stick to these guidelines you should have a healthy diet in no time. You will find that your body will function better and you may even start thinking more clearly. You will really be much happier and healthier. - 17273
