Eating a Proper Diet

Most people you ask will admit they are concerned with their
diet. Why aren't they making better nutritional choices? A
poor diet can lead to a variety of health problems, such as:
obesity, heart disease, joint and arthritis problems, and
general poor health. You can begin to gradually improve the
way that you eat and make subtle changes to the foods that
are a part of your everyday diet. It's easiest to begin with
small changes because you may find yourself more accepting
of the change. If you begin by making drastic changes to
your daily diet, most likely you will go back to your
earlier eating habits when the cravings begin.
First, start buying more fresh fruits and vegetables.
Bananas and oranges are the highest in vitamin content, so
you may want to start with them. Vegetables should be dark
colored. It is much healthier to make a salad with spinach
or romaine than head lettuce. If you increase your intake a
little bit each day, before you know it you'll be consuming
recommended quantities of these healthy fresh and delicious
foods.
It's best when choosing grain and bread products to select
products made from whole wheat and grains, instead of white
bread and other refined flours. White bread contains little
or no nutrition value, where as whole grain breads offer
fiber and other vitamins and minerals. Bran cereal is an
easy addition to your morning routine -- you'll soon enjoy
the taste of whole grains.
Make healthy selections for protein -- fish and poultry and
limit the amount of red meat in your diet. Plan to reduce
your intake of fat in your diet, animal fats and other fats.
Use healthy oils such as virgin olive oil and canola oil
when cooking. Bake or poach your fish and poultry to help
reduce the amount of fat in your diet. Eliminate or reduce
your consumption of fried foods, such as donuts and potato
chips. Try healthier choices such as popcorn (with a little
or no butter) and rice cakes.
Do you crave sweets? Try eating dried fruit or low fat
cookies or ice cream rather than cakes and cookies. You
might also like low fat candy. It takes time to change your
eating habits, but you'll succeed if you are patient and
determined. The bonuses are that you will feel healthier, be
more active, and realize that these healthy foods are
actually more satisfying than you ever imagined.
