You are what you eat: healthy eating, healthy living

You are what you eat is a widely known saying, with much truth in it. In fact, nutrition largely determines our health. Or put another way, what we feed our bodies with largely determines how well our bodies function. This includes safe and healthy food, as well as need. But what is healthy diet? And what do we mean by that need?

Health Awareness

There is a lot of emphasis these days on healthy living and healthy eating. From the government, healthcare, civil society organizations and even manufacturers, there is increasing attention to making conscious choices and the importance of good and healthy food. Among consumers, too, the health awareness increased tremendously in recent decades. For example, more and more people know that fibers are good for the intestines and that you should be careful with sugar and salt. More and more people also know that foods can have a positive effect on our health and play a preventive role can play in preventing cardiovascular disease and diabetes, among other things. Yet it remains diet of many people a concern. This can be seen, for example, in the ever-increasing number of children and adults with overweight and diabetesbut also to an increasing number of elderly people where malnutrition is becoming a problem.

Body and mind

By living a healthy life, you reduce the risk of disease and increase the chance of growing old in good health.. A healthy lifestyle however, means that you not only take good care of your body, but also of your mind. So, in addition to eating healthy, a healthy lifestyle includes sufficient exercise and relaxation. Indeed, with your mind you can influence your body both postively and negatively. Thus, sufficient relaxation, enough (good) sleep and little stress are very important in supporting a healthy body and life. A healthy lifestyle can really improve your health. It can help you lose weight, improve your blood sugar and cholesterol levels, and lower your blood pressure. Important risk factors for a long and healthy life. In addition, organs like our heart, liver and kidneys need the right nutrients to function properly.

Feeding, filling and food temptations

Even if you know what good nutrition is, chances are you are not eating only good nutrition on a daily basis. We have to do quite a bit every day food temptations resist. Research shows that we have about 200 eating choices make in a day and those choices are by no means all conscious. Smells, advertisements, offers or an open cookie jar can all tempt us to make unhealthy choices. Unhealthy products are often the ones we crave. By eating (or drinking) the products, you think a sense of satisfy hunger, but this is often short-lived. This is because unhealthy products often have little to no nutritional value, which means you will quickly become hungry again. They fill our bodies only temporarily. So it is important to provide your body with the right and healthy nutrients so that your body is better nourished and you are less likely to feel hungry again.

Unprocessed and varied

A healthy diet consists of varied food. That means plenty of vegetables, fruits, legumes, nuts, fish and whole grain products. It also means less salt, sugar and saturated fats. By doing so, you are giving your body the nutrients and energy, which it needs to function properly. In addition, eat only when you really feel hungry and not to suppress it then quickly or because you are used to it. In addition, it is good to have as many unprocessed products getting in. So be careful with added sugars, for example, but also with e-numbers. In addition, drink plenty of water. This is what the body needs to function properly.

Perks

In addition to the regular “disk of five”, which is a guideline for healthy and varied eating, there are also foods, which can contribute an additional positive aspect to our health. Various spices and foods have properties, which health benefits entail. Examples include garlic, cinnamon, lemon, turmeric and ginger. You can easily add these types of products to your diet to eat even more varied and healthy. These perks help you make an even greater impact on your body. After all, you are what you eat.
