Healthy Body .Healthy choices

For a start, anyone who wants to make their body healthier and fit should avoid processed food of any kind. Scanning the label of many pre-processed and pre-packaged foods can be like reading a chemistry textbook on occasion. The more chemical compounds that there are listed on the side of a product, then the greater the need to avoid it becomes.

When changing a diet to make it healthier, sugar, especially processed or refined sugar should be one of the first things to be cut. Be aware Soda pop, even diet soda does not do the body good:(   Nutrie Energe has ~0~ sugar, and also has taurine, ginseng, schizandra among many other proprietary herbs. Until recent times, fat was generally perceived as being the main enemy of a healthy body, and many products made a great play out of being low fat. Actually many fats such as those in eggs, olive oil and some dairy products, can be very good for the body. People do need a trivia amount of fat every day for essential existence :)!

Finding a healthy protein source is essential for a good diet.  White meat, such as chicken, and fish or pork can play an important role in providing protein. Red meat contains more saturated, or unhealthy, fat than meats which are classified as white. It also contains more cholesterol, and has been identified as a cause of digestive illness and heart conditions.

It is also wise to avoid fried food, especially food which has been fried in generic vegetable or corn oil. If you need to fry foods, do so gently in olive oil. Olive oil is also an excellent choice to dress foods such as salads, as it is nutritious and can help the body to burn unhealthy fats.
Coconut oil is also a great choice if not allergic! A special lowfat choice popcorn popped in coconut oil.
A good general rule for choosing healthy foods is whether it can be killed, or whether it can be grown. If either of those criteria can be applied, then it is probably very healthy. If a product has a long list of chemical ingredients, it should be avoided.

Nutrition data can be a useful complement to common sense when choosing food. Avoid foods which are processed and pre-packaged. Choose foods which are as close to their natural state as possible before preparation and cooking
