NUTRITION for an Abundant Lifestyle
Food Guide Pyramid
Nutrition is the way that the food people eat nourishes their
bodies.

Good nutrition means your body is getting all the nutrients,
vitamins, and minerals it needs to work at its best level.
Eating a healthy diet is your main way to get good nutrition.

The Keys To Good Nutrition

The keys to good nutrition are balance, variety and moderation.
Your body needs the right balance of carbohydrates, fats, and
protein, the three main components of nutrition, to stay
healthy..

You also need vitamins, minerals and other nutrients from
many different foods. No single food or food group has it all.
This is why  eating a variety of different foods is so essential.

It is important to exercise moderation both in the quantity of
food you eat, as well as being careful of  eating either too
much or too little of any specific food.

Too much food can result in excess weight, as can  too much
of certain food types. Eating too little can lead to numerous
nutrient deficiencies and low body mass.

The wrong diet can be deadly .Good nutrition should be part of
an overall healthy lifestyle, which should also include regular
exercise.

As the rate of obesity and related deaths are reaching
epidemic highs in North America, we  need to be more
conscious regarding  healthy nutritional habits.

Food Myths
Myth: Certain foods, like grapefruit, celery, or cabbage
soup, can burn fat and make you lose weight.
Fact: No foods can burn fat. Some foods with caffeine
may speed up your metabolism (the way your body
uses energy, or calories) for a short time, but they do
not cause weight loss. The best way to lose weight is
to cut back on the number of calories you eat and be
more physically active
 Myth: Low-fat or fat-free means no calories.
Fact: A low-fat or fat-free food is often lower in calories than the
same size portion of the full-fat product. Many processed low-fat or
fat-free foods have just as many calories as the full-fat version of the
same food—or even more calories. They may contain added sugar,
flour, or starch thickeners to improve flavor and texture after fat is
removed. These ingredients add calories.  Read the Nutrition Facts
on a food package to find out how many calories are in a serving.
