Eat Right - Eat Healthy - What You Can Eat for Optimum Health

Whatever your current state of health you can make choices that will work toward building health everyday. For some, sadly, improvement will be
minimal, as a disease may have literally overtaken them. For others each meal that is well chosen for its nutrition is yet another step toward optimizing
the health they currently enjoy. And, for others choosing foods wisely may even improve their current health and help them prevent the killers: cancer, diabetes and heart problems.

And, I suggest that no one allow the media controversies that I call "sound bite" science to dissuade them from what seems to make sense. There is some disagreement about the finer points of nutrition. This is simply and wonderfully because there is more and more research is being done. Eventually it will all, I believe, come together as a jigsaw puzzle falls into place as key pieces are found and inserted.

In the meantime here are some basic suggestions that I believe work for most folks:

• Eat more and more fresh fruits and vegetables.
• Eat as much locally grown fruits and vegetables as is possible and ones that are as ripe as possible. These ripen fruits and vegetables contain the highest levels of phytochemcials, and antioxidants that are known to useful at the cellular / molecular level.
• Limit consumption of animal fats.
• Avoid hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils 
• Drink 8-10 glasses of water every day.
• Pay attention to how your body responds to dairy products.  Many adults become lactose intolerant as they grow older.
• Limit highly refined carbohydrates
• Pay attention to your digestive system noting when and how often you are constipated or have diarrhea. Incomplete digestion means that you are not getting the fullest value from the foods you eat. 
• Pay attention to how you feel after you eat. Lethargy after a high carbohydrate meal may indicate that your body does not process carbohydrates well. Or, that your body needs more protein or fat with the carbohydrates.
• Investigate appropriate supplements including the highest quality vitamins and minerals. Do your own homework/due diligence so that you are fully educated as to the amounts, form and bioavilability of the products you may select, as all are not equal.
• Pay attention to changes your hair, skin, nails, eyesight, stamina and sleep patterns. All of these can be indicators of nutritional deficiencies.
• Watch the portions of food you eat. Sometimes getting rid of excess fat is as simple as reducing portions.
• Lastly, remember your body cells are changing as you read this, as you breathe, as you sleep. You are constantly being made anew. Be sure to give your body what it needs to make you and remake you healthy. For in many ways, you are what you eat, digest and absorb.

Are you looking for a diet that will change your lifestyle and keep those pounds off?  I can really recommend the diet solution by Isabel de Los Rios.

Not only was she successful in helping her mother of her medication and help her lose 40lbs in the process, but also created a program that is helping millions of overweight people getting back in shape and losing those excess pounds. This weight loss program is the result of 15 years of study and research.
