BALANCE DIET, BALANCE LIFE

To be healthy is our obsession. Choosing foods we like is another. Being healthy is sacrifice. Actually, we don't have plans to be healthy. We enjoyed more in eating food that are not beneficial to our health. In our every movement, eating sugary, spicy, salty and fatty foods become our regular meals. Eating junk foods was easy than eating vegetables. That's the difference. The basis of a healthy body will depend on how we manage to eat foods full of vitamins and minerals (from fruits and vegetables). These are the kind of food required by our body to continue their good performance. The system will be able to deliver the expectation of the different organs of the body. All these elements we provided to meet the nutritional requirements by consuming variety of foods.

Balance diet performs the body well. Where can we find them? There, right in the diet with carbohydrates, proteins, fat, vitamins, minerals proportionate to its requirements.

Carbohydrates is an energy-giving source. Without it the body easily get tired and weak. If taken more than it is required causes weight gain. A balance diet by taking different food groups is a necessity. As much as possible take these under controlled condition.

Taking an appropriate amount of elements can support our normal growth and development. It can supply the necessary requirements as maintenance of the body. With moderate exercise, it is effective. It gives a greater result in reinforcing our eating problem.

Any unbalance diet affects the normal functioning of our nervous system as well as the brain. In order to monitor the correct application of proportion per serving, it is wise to have an eating plan as a guide.

Choose only those foods that improves our health. We have to avoid those that causes us illness if taken as regular food. We have to educate ourselves as the way to be healthy. Learn to eat properly according to proportion.

Eating a balance diet is not easy because it only confines our taste to one or 2 group types. Eating vegetables is in one group that are the hardest to maintain because we are not very fond of eating this kind of food.

Attaining a stronger, healthier and longer life is a sacrifice. If we are willing to do all we can to become healthy or unhealthy, it's our choice.
