As obesity is affecting people’s lives from many aspects, healthy eating become a popular phrase that indicates people to eat healthy. However, tragedies happened many times for there were some people who cannot distinguish between healthy eating and not eating. So this time, I would like to talk about what actually can be counted as healthy eating.
The definition of healthy eating does not mean to restrict the amount of food and beverage you are having but is to control what particular food and beverage you are going to have. Healthy eating enables you to full of energy, have a good outlook and even keep a stabilized emotion state. Eating healthy can not only helps a person’s physical health and shape a skinny body, but also reach a stable mood and away from emotions like depression, anger, anxiety, stress and so on.
A common knowledge that healthy eating is having only vegetable is actually wrong. According to a passage on center of disease control and prevention: “a healthy eating emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains and fat-free or low- fat milk, products like lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts. Low in saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, salt (sodium), and added sugar. Stay within your daily calorie needs.” All these indicate that a person’s body can be at full function as soon as his daily requirement of energy and calorie are fulfilled. This could also show that it does not mean that you are not healthy if you have meat or proteins.
Healthy eating can be improved by many ways. Here I would like to give two options. First, search on the internet to look for the exact calories of each food you have usually. Thus you can have a general outlook of how much calories you gain and then adjust it, either increase or decrease, to fit your body’s calorie requirement. A bit higher than that value is also safe for you will not be unhealthy if you have just one more piece of bread.
Furthermore, eat something fresh. The reason why junk food is called junk food is the oil inside that increase people’s level of grease that is the main reason why people become unhealthy and fat. Fresh fruits and fresh vegetables contains varieties of vitamins and fibers that help degradation the fat in human bodies.
I really appreciate this article because i feel like there is a large disconnect between what is health and unhealthy eating. Many people suffer from eating disorder because they may feel that eating very minimally is helping them lose weight when in reality it is extremely unhealthy for the body. It is important to care for our bodies and recognize what kind of nutrition we are intaking in order to better our health and lifestyle.
