| The food you eat is your body’s main
source of energy. It is the fuel that enabels you to live
an active and healthy life. Some foods have more nutrients
and energy than others, therefore it is neccesary to make
wise choices. The food guide pyramid should be used to establish
a well balanced diet.
It is essential to limit foods that offer little nutrient
value. Some foods contain substances harmful to our bodies
(saturated fat, trans fats, cholesterol, processed sugar,
etc). Processed snacks, candies, fried foods, and added
sugar and salt are harmful to your health and should be
used sparingly. Every food choice you make effects your
physical health, and with only one body, you must choose
wisely!
Keeping your food choices simple is a strategy that requires
little effort and can offer you wonderful health benefits:
More Water! More Fruits! More Vegetables! Less
Junk!
A well balanced diet will allow you to manage your weight,
feel energized and vibrant each and every day.
