The Wellness of YOU! - # 112 - Nutritious Eating
posted in Nutrition and Weight Loss |
I know — this next statement is overtly obvious — but I have to say it anyway — if you want to stay healthy and have lots of energy to do the things you like and want to do — you have to eat right. You have to be on a good, solid nutrition and weight loss program. You have to know what to eat — and how much of it to shove in your mouth.
Let’s take a look at how energy is distributed in your body. One way is through calories. Calories are units of energy — and there are some of those in every ingredient you eat. In order to eat nutritiously, you need to know how much of this type of energy your body requires to stay healthy. Protein and carbohydrates as well as fats, are the “biggies” when it comes to energy. Keep in mind, though, that if you have too much of any of these — more than you need for your energy consumption — they will store themselves in your body as excess weight.
Vitamins and minerals are also energy sources found in your food.
Get in the habit of reading the labels on the food you buy. All the information is on those labels. You’ll know if you’re eating too much or too little by what happens with your energy levels and your weight. If you’re tired all the time and you’re losing weight, you need to find foods that have more good nutrition in them. If you’re gaining weight, you’re getting too much of something you don’t need — that could be too much sugar — it could be the wrong kind of fat — or you may just be eating too much — too often.
Pay attention to your body. It will tell you what it needs to maintain a good nutrition and weight loss program.
