- 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.
