Healthy Diet

Healthy eating is not about strict nutrition philosophies, staying unrealistically thin, or depriving yourself of the foods you love. Rather, it’s about feeling great, having more energy, and keeping yourself as healthy as possible.
Eat a variety of nutrient-rich foods. You need more than 40 different nutrients for good health, and no single food supplies them all.

Eat regular meals. Skipping meals can lead to out-of-control hunger, often resulting in overeating. When you’re very hungry, it’s also tempting to forget about good nutrition.

Eat moderate portions. If you keep portion sizes reasonable, it’s easier to eat the foods you want and stay healthy.

Take time to chew your food: Chew your food slowly, savoring every bite. We tend to rush though our meals, forgetting to actually taste the flavors and feel the textures of what is in our mouths.

Eat early, eat often: Starting your day with a healthy breakfast can jumpstart your metabolism, and eating the majority of your daily caloric allotment early in the day gives your body time to work those calories off.

Physical Activity

A good balance between exercise and food intake is important, as this helps to maintain a healthy body weight. About 30 minutes of physical activity, such as walking, is recommended every day.

Eat Less high Kilojoule Foods

The total amount of energy-dense (high kilojoule) foods you eat may be as important as the total amount of fat in your diet.

Base Your Meals On Starchy Foods

Starchy foods such as bread, cereals, rice, pasta and potatoes are a really important part of a healthy diet. Try to choose wholegrain varieties of starchy foods whenever you can.

How Much Food Do You Need?

Everyone has a genetic metabolism, or rate at which the body burn calories and is controlled by specific hormones. We even have a genetic amount of bodyfat cells and genetic levels of a hormone that controls hunger.
