HEALTHY FOOD
All food is made up of nutrients which
our bodies use. There are different kinds of
nutrients: carbohydrates, proteins, fats,
vitamins and minerals. Different foods contain
different nutrients.
Before we cut down on fat, sugar and
salt, we have to know a bit more about the kind
of food these things might be in. The biggest
problem comes when these things are hidden in
other foods: biscuits, crisps, sausages, meat
pies, soft drinks and so on.
How to keep fit:
exercising
balanced diet
avoid bad habits
 Bad Habit: Snacking non-stop, even when
not hungry.
Why It's Dangerous: Losing touch with
your body's natural hunger and satisfaction
signals can lead to chronic overeating and
unhealthy extra pounds that can lead to
diabetes, heart disease, and other serious
conditions. If it's junk foods you snack on,
you're also flooding your body with unhealthy
ingredients.
Reverse the Habit: - Stop eating before
you're stuffed: Finish when you feel just a little
bit full, you'll eat less this way. Eat for the right
reason: Because you're hungry—not because
you're stressed, bored, angry, or sad. Replace
junk food with real food: Once you've cleared
your pantry, stock your kitchen with fruits,
veggies, nuts, and low-fat, whole-grain products.
 Bad Habit: Spending too much time on the
couch watching TV.
