Dieting – An Essential Part of Life.
Written By Burch Admin in January 2017
Mrs. Victoria, a mother of three, approached me after a health seminar saying “ I have two questions for you. I remember you saying that a lot of people eat to die, how can that be? How can our food be balanced since most of our foods are starchy? I really want a change in my diet” I replied “You need to see a dietitian-nutritionist”
We need to understand that every time you eat or drink, you are either feeding a disease or fighting it. Those who think they have no time for healthy eating will sooner or later have to find time for illness. What you eat, the time you eat and quantity has a part to play in your daily lives.
The “Food Pyramid” according to WHO indicates whole nutrition in different percentages ranging from whole grains to fruits & veggies to protein types, down to carbs and fat. In the course of work, poor eating habits involving Fast food intake, forgetting/skipping meals, excessive coffee intake, constantly picking at foods and Fad dieting have become part of our daily lives.
If you don’t take foods as medicines sooner or later medicines could become our foods. Always consult your Registered Dietitian for information relating to your diet. Remember you are what you eat. Stay healthy, stay wealthy.
