What to Eat

It is good to know what food you take when you are starting to live a healthy lifestyle. I have attended a nutrition seminar a few months back and learned that the key to proper diet is MODERATION, DISCIPLINE, and VARIETY. Yes, variety! Because no one food item contains all the nutrients that your body needs.

For this week, I have chosen these food items as main components of my meals.

CUCUMBER is a good way to take in nutrition and since it is 95% water, it has fewer calories. It also helps to hydrate your body and eliminate toxins.   Do not leave out the skin for it has Vitamin C. It is also known to reduce the risk or certain types of cancer. 

BABY CARROTS are high in fiber which cannot be digested easily. As a result, you will feel full for a longer period of time so it helps manage your weight. 

GREEN BELL PEPPERS have fiber and vitamins C and E. They also help to lower the risks of chronic illnesses

APPLES, as they say, keep the doctor away. It is mainly because it is one of the healthiest that you can eat. It can help reduce cholesterol, prevent high blood pressure, protect your brain from Alzheimer’s, protect against colon cancer, and protect your heart, lungs, and bones.
