The
first thing that we need in order to do anything in life is our health and
energy. Without having enough energy, it is very difficult to proceed with
anything in our daily life. Being healthy could be dependent on different
physiological and psychological factors such as exercising, meditating, getting enough sleep and eating. You should always pay much attention to the
significance of your mind activity on the level your health and energy.
Psychological reactions such as stress, fear, anger, overthinking, etc. could
easily take a lot of your energy during the day. The most important thing to keep in mind is that the health of our body and mind is extremely linked to each others. Neglecting each of them could easily and drastically impact the other one. However, in this article, we
are going to talk about the influence of our eating diets on our health &
energy.
How
often do you feel down after eating your meals? If that happens often, it means
that either you’re not mixing the right kinds of foods together in your meals
(for instance, some foods need acidic environment in your stomach to be
digested and some others need alkaline environment to be digested) or you’re
not eating healthy foods. Having a healthy eating diet seems like a great fuel source
for your body that helps you to achieve more in life.
Eating
a healthy balanced diet is a must for keeping our health and boosting our
energy. An exact example of a balanced healthy diet could be highly different
due to the individual characteristics (such as age, gender and lifestyle),
cultural background and locally available foods. However, the primary
principles of what constitutes a balanced healthy diet stay the same.
Nowadays,
more and more people are eating unhealthy foods high in energy, fats, free
sugars and salt. On the other hand, they don’t eat enough fruits, vegetables
and grains.
What
should we eat to reach a balanced healthy diet then?
We
could reach our aim by eating a wide variety of foods in the right
proportions, and consuming the right amount of food and drink. Taking into
account the influence of many social and economic factors our diets could be
changed over time. The individual’s diet could be influenced by their income, preferences
and beliefs as well as food prices, cultural traditions, geographical and
environmental situations (including climate change) which might affect the
availability and affordability of healthy foods. Therefore, promoting a balanced
healthy diet requires the contribution of multiple sectors, including
government.
Let’s
take a look at a balanced healthy diet that could be promoted in the societies
by policy-makers:
There
are 5 main groups of foods which you should include a variety of them in your
daily diet.
1.
Fruits & Vegetables
Fruits
and vegetables are a great source of vitamins and minerals that should consist
about a third of our daily diets. Eating at least 5 portions or 400g of fruits
and vegetables a day reduces the risk of heart disease, stroke and cancers.
2.
Starchy foods
Starchy
foods such as potatoes, bread, pasta and rice should contain over a third of
our daily meal. That means starchy foods should be chosen as a basis in our
diets.
3.
Milk and dairy foods
Milks
and dairy products such as cheese and yogurt are a good source of protein and
calcium. However, it is very important to always choose low-fat dairy products.
Milks, yogurts and cheese out of soya could also be a great alternatives for
dairy products.
4.
Beans and protein foods
Foods
such as beans, eggs, fish and meat are the main source of protein which is
essential for the muscles to grow and repair itself. Meat is also a great
source of vitamins and minerals such as iron, zinc and B vitamins. It is
recommended to always have lean pieces of meat and skinless poultry to reduce
the fat content.
5.
Unsaturated oils
Some
fats such as olive oils are good for our health. Unsaturated fats could lower
cholesterol. However, the servings of the oils should be limited to small
amounts.
And
if you care about your health, eat less saturated fat, sugar and salt.
Consuming
too much of saturated fats could increase the level of cholesterol in the blood
which can increase the risk of having heart disease. The intake of saturated
fats could be reduced, for instance, by boiling instead of frying when cooking,
and lowering the consumption of fried and pre-packed foods.
Consuming
too much of sugars could increase the risk of tooth decay, obesity and
cardiovascular disease.
The
high amount of salt consumption could lead into high blood pressure, heart
disease and stroke. People are mostly unaware of their salt intake. The
majority of salt intake comes from processed foods such as bacon, salami,
cheese, salty snacks, etc. Beware of small amounts of salt already included your
daily foods such as breads. Lowering the daily consumption of salt to the
recommended intake of less than 5g per day could prevent 1.7 million deaths per
year.
Then,
I hope you get the importance of your diet in defining your health. Take care
of your physical health as well as your psychological health to be able to have
enough energy down the road!
