THIRD KEY........

MODERATION- Health experts agree that Moderation is a main Key to leading a healthy lifestyle. You see, even if we consume good nutritionally dense foods and still eat them in Excess, not paying attention to how much is being consumed, we could become overweight and frustrated in our efforts to being Healthy. Moderation also includes Balancing our food choices, For example, if we have a big greasy sausage sandwich for Breakfast along with some hash browns, at Lunch time we could choose to have a low-fat type of sandwich (Turkey, chicken salad) and a Green salad to compensate for the big breakfast. So rather then thinking about foods in terms of being Good or bad, let's think "Moderation."

Please remember that following these three Keys will set you on the path to Good Health and making wiser selections in your food intake. This will lead to a overall sense of well-being and optimal Health. To your Good Health today and Tomorrow!

Second Key...........

WHOLESOMENESS - Choose either Whole or barely Process Foods as much as you can. For example choose to eat a fresh Apple over choosing pasteurized apple juice (Not unless you have a good Juicing machine, that is a great way to have fresh Apple juice!) Choose Whole Wheat bread over white bread due to the fact that whole wheat contains plenty of Nutrition and White bread has been Bleached and have additives plus hardly any nutritional value.

3 Keys To Eating Healthy ......

There are three Basic Keys to remember when choosing Foods for Healthy Eating. When following these Important keys we can Fuel our Body Appropriately, having the mental clarity to make wise choices, and the physical energy to support our daily activities. The first of these Three Keys are:

VARIETY- The More different types of Healthy foods we choose to eat, the More Different types of nutrition we will consume. For Example if you consume a Orange which is a excellent source of vitamin C and carbohydrate, and eaten alone that's great, however when eaten together, say after you consume a iron and protein rich roast beef sandwich, could be more powerful and health-protective then eaten alone, this is called Synergy. so eating a variety during meals is very beneficial. We have a tendency to eat the same types of foods, day after day week after week. Try switching up and consuming a wide variety and the more colorful the better, like Colorful Fruits and veggies, eating Fish, chicken and turkey a few times per week, instead of eating the same kids of meats etc.
