Planning a Healthy Diet

Eating from all the different food groups and limiting-not eliminating-the intake of fat, cholesterol, and sodium while increasing the number of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains you consume can lead you down the path to good health. Following a healthy diet offers the benefits shown below:
-Protects against diseases such as cancer and heart disease
-Aids in prevention and treatment of chronic disease
-Helps you reach your weight management, fitness, or weight loss goals
-Increases HDL (good) cholesterol
-Lowers blood pressure
-Helps control abnormal blood sugars
-Provides essential vitamins and minerals
-Improves healing
-Maintains bowel regularity and reduces constipation
-Aids in recovery after exercise
-Builds strong bones

You have to make a time commitment to eat nutritiously. It takes time to plan, shop, and cook. Being healthy takes time. There's really no way around it, unless you hire a full-time chef to plan and prepare nutritious meals for you. Making an effort to eat well is worth your time, though, as the benefits of eating healthy are enormous. With a few good tips, eating healthfully does not have to be a chore.
