A
healthy diet is an essential part of preventing disease and illness,
weight control, healthy hair, skin, nails and longevity.
Eating a healthy diet does not
mean that your diet should consist of salads and steamed
vegetables-although both can be enjoyable!
A balanced diet is one made up of a bit of everything in the
appropriate. This will
ensure that your body gets enough of what it needs and is in no
way deficient. In fact recommendations on diet are now laid out
not just to prevent deficiency, but to actively promote optimal
health!
Nutritional
requirements vary depending on a person’s age, sex and overall
level of fitness. For the average adult, it is recommended that
approximately half of our energy should be provided by
carbohydrates, 35% from fats and 15 % from protein.
Also,
eating more fruits and vegetables is always a good idea as they
contain many of the wide range of vitamins and minerals that the
body needs.
Protein-Essential
to growth and repair of muscle and other body tissues.
Fat-
One
source of energy- important in relation to fat soluble vitamins.
Carbohydrates-The
body’s main energy source
Mineral-Inorganic
elements found in the body which are critical to its normal
functions
Vitamins-Water (B
& C) and fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) play important
roles in many bio- chemical processes in the body
Water-Essential
to normal body function-as a vehicle for carrying other nutrients
I counsel all my clients regarding proper nutrition intake for
health and fitness.
