Every Day Is A Good Day For Good Nutrition

By Dr Pj Prakash


Nutrition is very important to your health. We all need it. We either have solid nutritional habits, or we do not. This article will show you how to eat healthier without having to rely strictly on salads.

A great nutrition tip is to make sure you eat plenty of fruits and vegetables every day. The USDA recommended daily allowance for fruits and veggies is 9 to 13 servings per day. That probably sounds like more than it actually is. Have a glass of real orange juice with your breakfast or put tomato pasta sauce on your spaghetti.

To be sure that your body is getting its nutritional requirements met, you need to hedge your bet with a good multivitamin. This is effective because, whilst it's much better to get your vitamins and minerals from natural food sources, having the 'insurance' of a multi-vitamin means that, if for whatever reason at some point you don't get enough of some vitamin from your normal diet, you're still covered.

Highly processed foods, like those that have trans fats, should be avoided. Foods with high trans fat contents increases your risk of heart disease. Not only do trans fats increase your LDL, or "bad", cholesterol levels, they simultaneously decrease your HDL, or "good", cholesterol levels.

Don't leave your broccoli on the plate! A single medium stalk of this green super food can give you a day's worth of Vitamin K/ It contains enough vitamin C to meet your recommended intake for two days. Vitamin K and C will strengthen your bones and even reduce your risks of developing some types of cancer. You should steam your broccoli instead of boiling it.

It's smart to have something healthy to eat before you dive into Thanksgiving dinner at someone's home. It can be easy to overeat, especially at Thanksgiving, so eating a good breakfast will help curb your desire to eat too much. By eating a little something before you go to a Thanksgiving dinner, you'll fill up quicker and you won't eat as much.

Good nutrition is the basis of a long, healthy and happy life. If you want to lose weight and eat healthy, say goodbye to refined carbohydrates. Make sure you read the labels on bottled drinks. Soda and juices tend to be loaded with unneeded sugars. Avoid ingesting sugar and it will show. This can help you feel and look much better.

Think about choosing baked goods over fried choices. Baked foodstuffs tend to be better for you, with less calories, carbs, and oils. If your diet consists of more baked foods every day, you will notice you have more energy and you feel better.

When it comes to nutrition, there are a variety of options you can choose that will help you eat healthier. Nutrition options available offer something for everybody, but you need to find what works for you, personally, because it will be different for each person. The goal of this article was to give you the information you need to make a plan of your own.
