“You are what you eat.” We have all heard that phrase. It conjures up pictures of people eating a drumstick and turning into a chicken themselves, but I know it goes much deeper than that. I think it was meant to express the idea that if you eat nothing but junk food, or things that are bad for you, you will not be at your best.
I have also heard it said that “the greatest wealth is health.” I think that is closer to the truth. While financial worries are very stressful, and personal problems can drag you down, there is little more scary than finding out you have a serious health issue.
The way most of us carry on when we have a cold or headache, should serve to remind us that we do not want to have any serious issues, if we can help it. And, you can avoid them to a degree.
While healthy eating in and of itself cannot assure you that you will never get sick, or even have something serious go wrong, overall it is a great guarantee that you will feel the best possible if you eat right.
This is not meant to be a column on what foods to eat, and what foods not to eat, but rather a basic common-sense guide on making healthy food choices so you feel as good as you can.
The basics of eating right~~~
By now we should all know to cut excess fat from our diets and limit the intake of carbohydrates, high-calorie sweets, and junk foods.
Just an increase in the amount of fresh vegetables and fruits will make your body feel better, and after a while, you will start to crave healthy foods more and more.
A lot of people have dietary issues, so be sure you speak with your doctor about making changes if you think there are restrictions.
For the rest of us, let’s all make this our healthiest year yet. And oh yeah, drink plenty of fresh water—it is great for you!
