Food nutrition is a key element in
maintaining our overall physical well being. We must always pay attention to
the foods that we eat because they will eventually impact our health, for
better or for worst. We have more information available about the benefits of
every particular food group than we’ve ever had before, which is why we also
have a bigger responsibility than ever before to make assertive and responsible
food choices.
Carbohydrates, fats and proteins have
each got a specific function to serve in our bodies. The key to good health
lies in maintaining balanced food nutrition. Our body transforms carbohydrates
to sugar that gives in the necessary energy to perform daily activities such as
work, study, or exercise. Carbohydrates can be found in fruits, and in whole
grain bread, pasta, and rice. Proteins are the main components of the muscles
of our body. Foods that provide protein include red meat, white meat, nuts, and
dairy products. Doctors recommend eating more white meat such as fish and
chicken than red meat.
We must take care of our health, we
must seek to achieve and maintain a strong, flexible and vital physique. I
cannot emphasize enough the positive benefits that food nutrition and regular
exercise have upon our emotional and physical well being. Adults should teach
children healthy eating habits because when you learn something from a small
age it becomes a custom and you are more likely to follow this custom for the
rest of your life.
