Start Making Healthier Eating Choices

By Daisy Chu


It is easy to know the benefits of eating healthier. Taking small steps each day is a great way to start. Portion control and the time of day you eat correlate to your diet as much as what you are eating.

Nowadays, we can get many of our nutrients from vitamins and other supplements, but these aren't a substitute for healthy eating. Instead of taking vitamins, people should modify their diet to include whole food sources that will allow the body to absorb nutrients at a much faster and more efficient rate. It is so much better to get your essential nutrients from the food that you eat, opposed to supplemental vitamins. It can help to fill in any gaps in your diet with high quality supplements. Are you a vegetarian? If so, you would supplement your lack of vitamin B12 with a multivitamin that can provide what is missing. The idea is to eat nutrient rich food, and take vitamins to complement your diet.

Very often you can make healthier eating choices simply by preparing more food at home rather than going out. Eating food out can be quick and easy, but all those bad fats and calories will start to add up. You can choose to put healthier ingredients into the dishes you prepare. A whole new world of cooking will open up to you once you realize you can tweak any recipe at home with the ingredients you want. Your grocery bill might be higher, but your eating out budget will be so much more manageable. Preparing multiple meals for the week can save you a lot of time. If there is one night that is open, take advantage and prepare multiple meals that day.

Do you get sick often? People that are often ill may be that way due to excess sugar in their diet. Today, many foods have too much sugar, not including the many snacks and forms of junk food that are available. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and sugary breakfast cereals, are two of the primary culprits in regard to putting too much sugar into our kids as well as adults. High fructose corn syrup is found in many foods, so be careful of what you buy and always look at the labels. Avoid sugary cereals in the morning, and also try things like cream of wheat or oatmeal that come sugar free.

If you look into it you can find lots of other super-foods Foods that are rather common, like yogurt, barley, beans and nuts are being considered by many experts to be super-foods Because there are lots of temptations to eat junk food and fast food it can be difficult to make healthy food choices in the modern world. However looking into the benefits of eating well will show that it's worth it as you'll feel better, lose weight and stay healthy.
