Becoming A Healthy Eater

Becoming A Healthy Eater

Being a healthy eater requires you to become both

  educated and smart about what healthy eating

  actually is.  Being food smart isn't about

  learning to calculate grams or fat, or is it

  about studying labels and counting calories.

Healthy eating is all about balanced and moderate

  eating, consisting of healthy meals at least

  three times per day.  Healthy eaters eat many

  different types of foods, not limiting themselves

to one specific food type or food group.

Eating healthy requires quite a bit of leeway.  You

  might eat too much or not enough, consume

  foods that are sometimes more or less nutritious.

  However, you should always fuel your body and

  your brain regularly with enough food to keep

  both your mind and body strong and alert.

A healthy eater is a good problem solver.  Healthy

  eaters have learned to take care of themselves

  and their eating with sound judgement and making

  wise decisions.  Healthy eaters are always aware

  of what they eat, and know the effect that it

  will have on their bodies.

When someone is unable to take control of their

  eating, they are also likely to get out of control

  with other aspects of life as well.  They could

  end up spending too much, talking too much, even

  going to bed later and later.

You should always remember that restricting food

  in any way is always a bad thing.  Healthy eating

  is a way of life, something that you can do to

  enhance your body or your lifestyle.  If you've

  thought about making your life better, healthy

  eating is just the place to start.  You'll make

  life easier for yourself, those around you, and

  even your family.
