A healty guide To eating

WHY EAT HEALTHY?
Healthy eating is important for a lot of reasons. Most of us are
already aware of the increasing obesity epidemic in North
America. This is particularly true of the United States in general.
There is even a phrase for the way many Americans eat, and that
is called the SAD diet.
SAD stands for standard American diet, and it refers to a diet low
in vegetables, high in fat and sugar, and lacking in nutrition.
Processed foods are definitely a part of the SAD diet. These are
foods that are easily available and quick to consume and prepare
but have long-lasting negative health effects.
If you do not want to find yourself obese, it is generally
considered a good idea to avoid eating such processed foods and
keep your focus on eating whole grains and fruits and vegetables
and meat that has not been treated with hormones and other
chemicals that can ultimately end up in your
body and cause
issues. Unfortunately, in North America, we are given a lot of options to slack off when it comes to preparing meals.
We have so many things readily available to us, and the amount
of money that you have to spend to buy bad food is far less then
it is to buy good food. It seems strange that it costs more money
to buy organic than it does to buy foods that will ultimately cause
health problems in the long run, but that is the rule of supply and
demand.
Not only that, but processed foods are mass-produced and make
a huge profit because of their convenience. That is why, in many
ways, and obesity epidemic in North America is not particularly
surprising. Nutrition is not number one on the list of companies
that are attempting to cash in on people’s laziness in the kitchen.
However, there are many ways that eating healthy is important,
and good reasons to avoid processed foods and the standard
American diet. For example, if you do not want to be obese, you
should definitely look into the rest of this book for ways to
improve your diet and begin a healthier lifestyle.
Another reason to eat healthy is because you can make yourself
prone to diseases by eating unhealthy foods and by staying on a
standard American diet that is full of fat and sugar. Diabetes is
something that can be developed because of poor eating and can often times be treated with healthy eating.
Type II diabetes is ultimately something that can be maintained
and controlled with proper eating habits and triggered by poor
eating habits. If you want to avoid these types of difficulties and
complications, you should do your best to be conscientious
about your food choices.
Other diseases can result from poor eating as well. High blood
pressure is common, as well as other chronic diseases.
Osteoporosis is something that can affect many people later in
life because they were not making healthy eating choices earlier
on. You may find yourself suffering from poor bone health,
hypertension, or even heart problems. All of which can be very
demanding on your body and cause major stress that can
ultimately be very dangerous.
If you want to show your family that you care about them, you
should begin making choices now that will help you to stay in
their lives for as long as possible. Poor health is not something
that only affects you. It is also something that affects the people
around you. If they are watching you suffer because of poor
choices that you have made, in a way, that is quite selfish. They
are suffering too. Now, do your best to make the choices that
will be the best not only for yourself, but for your family in the
long run.
