The Best In Healthy Eating

The Best in Healthy Eating!
You just can’t follow every food fad out there. And because so many people keep doing just that, we have a lot of unhealthy people in the US. The truth of the matter is real food will cure most of what ails you…it may take a bit longer than 10 days, but once you are on the path to good food you will be on the path to good health!

Let’s take a look at what works.

Eat food from ALL the food groups.
Lean Proteins, vegetables, fruits, whole-grains, legumes, and low fat milk products

Good Fats:
Monounsaturated fats (olive oil, flaxseed oil, peanut oil and avocados)
Polyunsaturated fats (safflower, sesame, sunflower seeds)
Both these fats raise your good cholesterol levels.

Exercise…should be enjoyable

In Moderation
Sugars
Alcohol
Bad fats (Saturated fat and trans fatty acids raise your bad cholesterol levels, contributing to your risk of heart disease)

Saturated fats are found in beef, veal, lamb, pork, butter, cream, whole milk dairy products and can be found in frozen dinners and some canned food.

Trans fatty acids, increases the risk of heart disease, and are found in some cooking oils, shortening, and margarine. Check food labels to avoid hydrogenated fats.

Why You Should Eat Well

Eating vegetables can lower the risk of heart disease, stroke, and cancer. It also helps to maintain a healthy weight, which in turn lowers the risk of obesity and the dire health problems that come with it. The very healthiest vegetables are the dark green varieties like broccoli, lettuces, and kale. Next in line, shoot for the orange vegetables like carrots, sweet potatoes, and squash. Choose red vegetables like red peppers and tomatoes for flavor and added health.

Eat fruits each day. They can be canned, dried, fresh or frozen. Just try to stay away from packaged fruit juices because they can be high in sugar.

Eat whole grain cereals, breads, rice, and pasta. Whole grains are a good source of fiber. Fiber can help lower your risk of diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.

Eat legumes; beans, peas and lentils. They are low in fat, contain no cholesterol, are high in protein, and they are also a good source of fiber.

Eat Protein: lean meats, poultry, and fish. Bake, broil, or grill it. Beans, nuts and seeds also provide protein for those of you who may be vegetarians.

Eat low-fat yogurt, low-fat cheese or low-fat milk every day. Dairy products can lower your risk of diabetes and help build strong bones, reducing the risk of osteoporosis.
