Defining a Healthy Diet


The Dietary guidelines are vast but the guidelines for each individual are different. 
Overall, we must consume more of nutrient dense foods and beverages and avoid trans fat cholesterol, added sugars, salt and alcoholic beverage.  We need lots of fruits and vegetables, fish, whole grains, and fat free or low-fat dairy.  Many articles contradict and say that whole grains are no good anymore or that red wine is beneficial but if consumers have self-control and do not enough research to find out exactly what the details are concerning the findings.  The nutrition science is growing and alive so new findings must be fully examined and configured to the conditions of the individual. The realities of the actual U.S. diet are obsolete.  People intake pleasure over health and sometimes find it extremely difficult to make a heathier choice.

It is amazing to see the United States take a turn towards better health. Michelle Obama has implemented programs to ensure our children stay active as well.  Portion control is another important piece that we need to educate and apply in our eating.  So many individuals and families eat away from the home for lack of preparation and/or time.  Portions have increased immensely to say the least especially when ordering out.  Lack of knowledge, concern or care also contributes to the increase.  If someone is not aware of the correct portion size or does not even care about what the correct portion size is, there will continue to be an increase lading to poor health.  Health risks including diseases are very subject to happen if portion is not controlled because malnutrition causes this effect.  Food labels and information provide proper serving size. Even though they are posted on foods, we tend to look away.  The question is, How long can you long away? How long can you ignore?  Do not let your body force you to have to make healthier choices.  Choose right now!Image result for you can make a change
