Healthy Eating

Food gives us energy and nutrients the body needs to maintain health, to grow and develop, to work and play, and to think and learn.  It affects our mood, internal workings, mental clarity, and even our skin.
We need to think of food as nourishment rather than entertainment.  Aim for a diet that is low in salt, saturated fat, and unprocessed food, and high in minerals, proteins, and vitamins.
Eating healthy also fights disease.  For example, fruits and vegetables lower blood pressure and may lower the risk of certain cancers.
                
                 Question:  How do I get started on healthy eating?
                 Answer:  Start by adding more fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and fish.
Next time, I will give you some healthy food recipes that I hope you will enjoy.

    You are what you eat. No! Your not a pickle, nor are you an egg. But, When you eat fruits, vegetables, and bran you feel better. We need to eat better for overall health. It will make us feel better.
