Eating tips for healthy living

Although many people are concerned about the beauty of the body, there is less concern about the internal health of the body. Most people are born with good health. Over time, wrong eating patterns lead to illness. It is important for a person to have a balanced diet all the time but not much interest in it. Making a balanced diet is not a problem if we know the nutrition contained in the food. The food we eat has a special effect on maintaining our body. You have to eat to live, but you don't have to live to eat. You need to be smart about the foods you eat to stay healthy. Instead of tasty food, one should be aware of the ways to prepare the food in order to maintain its quality.

Benefits of food to the body

• Making new cells
• Renewal of worn-out tissue
• body growth
• Body energy production
• Protection from diseases

Foods combine with oxygen in the body to produce energy. Carbohydrates in food contribute to this. In addition, fatty foods provide energy to the body. Protein foods partially produce energy. The sweet sugar parts of carbohydrates provide instant energy to the body. The body gets twice as much energy from fats as from carbohydrates and proteins.

The unit of measurement of energy is the calorie. In order to survive, we need to consume fewer calories. That amount varies from person to person. A man needs 2700 calories a day and a woman needs 2000 calories.

How to feed the body

• Eat slowly.
• Chew well and eat.
• Eat a simple meal
• Do not overeat.
• Keep a gap of 5 or 6 hours between two meals.
• Do not go to sleep immediately after eating.
• Drink plenty of water between meals
• Do not drink water while eating.

Digestion begins in the mouth by chewing food slowly and thoroughly. Also, eating too much food impairs organ function. Breakfast is essential. It is important to get used to eating at a certain time. Two meals are enough to lose weight.

Always have body weight appropriate for height. BMI index can be used for that. A healthy life can be maintained due to the immune system of the body. When the body's immunity is low, the susceptibility to diseases is high. If so, it is also important to eat food that improves immunity. Foods containing vitamins and minerals should be taken to increase immunity.

Immunity boosting foods

• Yellow vegetables and fruits containing vitamin A, eggs

It is advisable to eat raw processed sambal and salad to preserve vitamins in food. Apart from that, you should eat a lot of greens that can be prepared by heating less. Eggs should be taken three times a week. Vitamin C foods are also necessary for the body to absorb the iron nutrient from food. So it is better to mix lime and prepare food.
