Get Into Shape by Eating the Right Foods


The foods we eat play an important role in whether we are underweight, overweight, or just right. Many people do not understand just how important nutrition is. Growing up as a kid in primary school and even well into high school, you must have had teachers presenting information about the different food groups countless times. Heard of the phrase 5 servings of fruits and veggies?

Many of us seem to forget this simple nutritional information that is taught to us when we were growing up. A lack of proper nutrition and negligence of fitness is the reason why such a large percentage of adults are now overweight. Over the years we have become very lazy and more and more people are becoming couch potatoes. Even the younger generation has started to develop these bad habits.

So what are the right foods we should be eating?

In order to achieve a well balanced diet it is recommended by most food experts to eat foods from all food groups. You must have come across the food pyramids that outline what you should be eating on a daily basis.

Try to avoid foods that are high in fats, oils and sugars. Food items such as donuts and deep fried chips are insanely high in fat and sugar content. Eat these foods only rarely if you have to and avoiding them completely if you can.

Try to include a variety of quality proteins in your diet. Red meat, fish, eggs, poultry are great sources of protein that should be spread out in your diet across the week. Don't forget nuts, legumes and beans as they are also an excellent protein source.

Fruits and vegetables are foods that you should be getting a good 5 or more serving a day of. Look out for fruits that are in season as this is often when they are at their best. Cereals, bread and rice should also be included in your daily diet. Go for more of the whole meal foods as they are packed with quality nutrients providing high levels of fiber and other vitamins for your body.
