Healthy eating is not only about low fat or low calorie or reducing a significant amount of weight in a short period or constantly being deprived of selective food groups or from the foods you love.
It is more than that and focuses on the overall good health and well-being of an individual by creating a balance, and a healthy attitude towards food.
Eating healthy does not have to be complicated but rather trying to keep things simpler and making smaller and significant changes one at a time.
Setting your dietary protocols is very essential for curing any disease or health condition at its root. However, they should be in such a way that they become your best friend who understands your needs, supports your requirements, energizes and makes you happy, and is always available for you.
So, let's understand what exactly is healthy eating?
Eating the living foods and not the dead ones; which means all those food items which come from nature such as vegetables, fruits, sprouts, nuts, seeds, and whole grains retaining the essence that natural foods have to offer including enzymes, antioxidants, and other nutrients.
When living foods enter our body, they, in turn, bring life inside our body, increase life span, reduce diseases, and also helps to remove toxins out of the body
Eating or consuming foods fresh, raw, or in a condition that is as close as possible to their original living state and possibly within 3 to 4 hours or maximum on the same day after being cooked is also very crucial.
Keeping the food in the fridge for 2 to 3 days makes the food dull and eating such food is nothing but inviting problems to develop in the gut.
On the other hand, chips, sauces, juices, canned, packed, or processed foods have been manufactured so much before our consumption and are burdened with added chemicals or preservatives to increases the shelf life of the food which in turn decreases the healthy functioning of our body.
These types of foods are not real foods but are only products!!! They are a blend of synthetically derived ingredients that have been mixed to create something tasty and which is doing more harm than good to one’s health.
Proper nutrition is one of the foundations of optimal health. By consuming foods that deliver the nutrients in an easy to digest simpler form that our body can efficiently utilize which will begin to blossom our health and one will start feeling unadulterated inside.
Therefore, going away from man-made health depriving foods and shifting your diet more towards natural living foods is the key to healthy eating and healthy living.
