The Value of Nutrition

  

      Nutrition is an important part part of a person's diet.  Especially in third world countries where many kids and adults are malnourished.  Nutrition makes our bodies healthy and functions properly.
         Eating healthy is a part of having a good nutrition.  By changing the bad habits of your eating lifestyles and replacing it with a healthier diet will make you feel better and look better.   Here are a couple of tips that will help you get started on eating healthy.
          Many people don't eat healthy because they simply don't know how and what is healthy.  Here are a couple of tips to help you out.  Choose olive oil over other kinds of oils, you can cook with olive oil or put a teaspoon of olive oil in your grains.  By just consuming a teaspoon of olive oil a day can prevent cardiovascular disease in the future.  Although it's a little pricey, but it's worth it for the future and the benefits for it are endless.  Choose lighter, healthier salad dressings or make your own salad dressings.  Many salad dressings are heavy and are not good for you.  Vinaigrette dressings are the healthiest, but are careful, many vinaigrette salad dressings have other things added to them.  Choose low fat salad dressings if you want something like ranch,or a thousand island.  Eat at home.  When you’re cooking at home, you know exactly what your putting into your food and you could create healthier food.  At restaurants there are not many places that serve healthy food, because they lack flavor and are lighter.  Even if you do go to a restaurant that serves healthy food, it's not exactly the way you want it.  At home you can cook the way you want it and know what you are putting into your food.  Some people have no clue of how to cook healthy food.  Rachel Ray is well known for her cooking, her web has some recipes that you and your family will like, they are easy to make, healthy and they taste great.  Martha Stewart also has some nice dishes that you will love; she has chicken, salmon, dessert and many other recipes too.  Always remember the most important thing to eating healthy is to love what you eat, don't force your body to eat something that is healthy but you don't like it.  Explore the foods and see what kinds of food you love.
