Eating a Proper Diet

Just about anyone you meet will tell you they worry about
their diet. If this is the case, why do so many continually
make poor choices? Poor eating habits can lead to obesity,
heart and joint problems , arthritis, and general bad
health. The best way to become a healthier eater is to do it
gradually. Small changes are easier to make and stick to
than a dramatic and sudden overhaul. If you try to change
everything at once, you are likely to give in as soon as you
experience your first craving.
Fruits and vegetables should be the centerpiece of your
daily diet. Choose dark colored vegetables, such as leafy
greens, for your salad. Select fruits that are high in
essential vitamins, such as bananas or oranges. Begin by
slowly increasing the amount of fruits and vegetables that
you eat on a daily basis, and before you know it, you'll be
eating the proper amount of fresh foods.
When it comes to your grain and bread products it is
important to make healthy choices and steer away from the
white bread and other refined flours. White bread will
give you no amount of nutrition, unlike whole grain breads
that are a great source of fiber and other vitamins and
minerals. It will be easy to add a whole bran cereal to
your morning routine and you~ll soon find yourself enjoying
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.
