Moms,

diabetes, cancer and heart diseases which are the common illness. Eating
healthy foods can boost our energy level, help in the improvement of our immune
system and help in the improvement of our bodily functions. Healthy diet
together with exercise either in the morning or in the afternoon can lead us to
have a vibrant life.
It
is essential that our nutritional needs everyday is met. We should include in
our daily diet, an amount of grain, vegetables, fruit, low fat dairy products,
oils, beans and protein. These foods are rich in vitamins and minerals which
can reduce risks of common illnesses. Fruits and vegetables have fiber contents
which can give our body high nutrients and low calories. Moreover, healthy
eating includes more of these: 1. Good fats like vegetable oils as sunflower,
canola, peanut and olive oil for cooking, spreading, baking and frying and 2. turkey
or chicken meat without skin. For snacks, just go with unsalted and plain nuts,
dried or fresh fruit, popcorn provided it is air popped and raw vegetables.
Avoid
fried foods, fatty and sugary foods in your diet because this will increase
your weight loss. Also, avoid drinking tea and coffee because there is caffeine
in these foods which are not good to our body. These have chemicals which can
cause us fatigue and makes us less energetic and inactive and can just create
weight gain. If we are more active, this means there is weight loss which can
make us more energetic. Also avoid full fat dairy products such as full fat
milk, full fat cheese, and cream and full fat ice cream.
Avoid
drinking soda, energy drinks, soft drinks and beverages. It is better to drink
a lot of water, diluted fruit juices and unsweetened tea because this can help
down your intake of calories. We must keep our body always hydrated in order
that fat and toxins will be flushed away from our body. Water is needed by our
body to have healthy kidneys, lungs, liver, bones nails and teeth. It can also
relieve us from our feeling of being hungry.
Healthy
eating must have less of fatty meals such as salami, sausages and meats which
are rich in cholesterol such as kidney and liver. Take away hamburgers, pizza,
fried meat, French fries and dishes with creamy pasta.
Eating
healthy diet can also reduce our stress levels especially if this is coupled
with our daily exercises. We will have more energy facing our daily tasks.
A
minimum of twenty minutes and a maximum of forty minutes exercise daily must be
planned. This includes walking, jogging, bicycling, swimming or a body weight
exercise where you can do dips, chin ups and abdominal workout. You can also do skipping rope exercise.
To
become healthy, better sleep and more rest are also essential. Avoid stress. Have
fun. Enjoy life with people around you.
