Nutrition and Health

Everybody knows that eating healthy is the best way to live but a small percentage of these people know what it means to “eat healthy”. Eating healthy is to eat the proper portion of the right food. Whatever you eat will be in your body and its quality will make you healthy or not.
According to Shelley Narula, a good nutrition, besides preventing the risk of so many diseases, can improve your brain function. The brain uses carbohydrates for energy and omega-3 fatty acids to produce its cells structure but these structures can be damaged by free-radicals available in the environment. So antioxidant nutrients like A, C and E vitamins are essential to keep the brain working well and saving people from mental confusion, dizziness and convulsion in severe cases.
Nowadays, people are busy and it ruins a lot of their nutrition once that they don’t have enough time to eat only healthy food. This way, people are eating more fast foods and products created in labs which lose a lot of nutrients in that process.
We all have to find a balance for our nutrition. To eat healthy doesn’t mean that you can not eat everything. You can, but we have to find balance. And more importantly, we have to start working on it in our childhood. That is when our body is being formed. If we only start this process when we are adults it will be much harder because we will have to repair all the damage caused for years.
