Healthy Eating

Healthy eating is the practice of making choices about what and/or how much one eats with the intention of improving or maintaining good health. The concept of healthy eating is a problem in this country where the lifestyle includes little physical exercise, a large food intake, and a trend towards factory-processed foods instead of home-cooked meals. Dr. Bo recommends eating whole foods and grains, not canned or frozen veggies, but fresh veggies out of the produce department. And when we get a craving for something sweet, Dr. Ashley recommends eating a handful of berries instead of refined sugars.

It’s during our most active hours that we need more energy, therefore, more protein is needed early in the day. If you are less active in the evening, try eating a lighter meal for dinner and make breakfast your big meal of the day. By changing the way you eat and taking a brisk walk after dinner, you not only become a healthier person, but you will lose unhealthy weight.
