For having a good health and physique, food is equally as important as exercising. A balanced diet is a must and I am sure that most people reading this would probably be struggling with it. Balanced diet, as we have been learning from out childhood (but certainly not have been practicing), consists of carbohydrate, protein, fat and vitamins and minerals. I know that healthy eating might get boring at times but it is better than getting disease which cannot be undone. Food for body is like fuel for any machine. If you feed good, it functions well, but if you feed bad, it won’t function properly. So, it is very necessary to have a proper balanced for our body to love us back.
Carbohydrates and fat gives you energy. It is suggested to get more carbs in breakfast than at night as well would not be burning them. Some of the foods that contains carbohydrate and fat are milk, fruit, bread, rice, etc.
Your food should contain 30-35% of protein. As it is the main component of all of your body's cells, as well as your hair, skin and soft tissues, it cannot be compromised. It helps in strengthening and building of muscles. Eggs, pulses, oilseed, meat, etc. contains protein.
Vitamins and minerals are the micronutrients that help in metabolism nerve and muscle function, bone maintenance and cell production. Minerals from plant, meat and fish are important for our body. The food that contains these are milk products, green leafy vegetables, eggs, fruits and many more.
Even though we get tempted by unhealthy eating lifestyles, we should care for our body and get healthy. Until my next blog, let’s eat healthy and get one step closer on achieving our goals for better health and physique.
