DID YOU KNOW?

Along the way, and over many years, I have collected and tucked away, tons of things I found beneficial to know. Nutritional food facts, fascinate me.  I was amazed at how much I didn't know, about simple every day foods and, the effects they can have on the body.
The more educated we are, the better enabled we can become, when choosing the foods we eat. This section of my blog, is purely nutritional. It is here to help those that are looking to loose weight and for those who just want to lead a healthier lifestyle.
Maintaining an overall healthy diet not only affords your body the energy and nutrients that it needs to function, but offers health benefits as well. Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products contribute to cardiovascular health. A good diet incorporates lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts as well. It should be limited in saturated fats, trans fat, cholesterol, salt (sodium), and added sugars.
To lose weight, it's important to make lifestyle changes with a focus on reducing calories from food and beverages, following a healthy eating plan, and of course, portion control. Which is the principal component in achieving your target weight.
Dietary modification, the addition of more physical activity... yes exercise!, in moderation of course and, portion control, are the key elements to healthy weight loss, and a healthy lifestyle.



Education is the beginning of a new life. If you want to change your existing eating habits, read, ask questions, and most of all, use all the resources available to you. Below is a list of facts and food related benefits. I will be adding to them often. If there is something that you are unclear of, please do not hesitate to leave a comment below, and I will happily respond. ~ Happy and Healthy Eating!
