Eating Healthy Healthy eating is the key to a healthy lifestyle. “A healthy lifestyle involves many choices. Among them, choosing a balanced diet or healthy eating plan.” Says the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. When you eat healthy it makes your energy level higher and also makes you feel and look better. People are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and certain types of cancers also high blood pressure. It’s all because they are not eating healthy.
Eating habits have changed dramatically in mostly in children and teens. With all the sweets and saturated fats that’s in stores and the advertisement on T.V. they want more. If we, the parents, make better choices for our children then they will do the same. Kids copy their parents, so what you eat they will try. That means if you have unhealthy eating habits you will need to make a change for yourself and your children. A lot of healthy and unhealthy food are available in grocery stores. Some unhealthy foods include: sugary snacks, salty chips, soda, and carbohydrates. Healthy food such as: fresh produce, dairy products, eggs and many more healthy things. In my opinion, you can eat whatever you want just in moderation. Sweets are in the food pyramid too. So we need a little bit of everything. A little candy never hurt anyone. Not eating enough calories or eating too many calories can be harmful to the body. Some people develop eating disorders because they think they are too fat. Either they don’t eat at all or they regurgitate the food they did eat. This is called anorexia and can happen to anyone. Another disorder is called binge eating which is “an act of excessive or compulsive consumption of food”, says Webster dictionary. When this happens the person over eats and then feels guilty so they regurgitate. This is a very sensitive subject but if you or someone you know has this problem please seek medical help.
