Healthy vs. Unhealthy Food

For a healthy body one must take a well balanced diet rich in proteins, carbohydrates and many different vitamins and minerals such as vitamins C and A, iron and calcium from a variety of foods and anti-oxidants.



It is best to limit low-nutrient, deep-fried fast food items, such as pizzas, burgers, fried chicken, potato chips, French fries and sugar laden candies because they lack any of the essential elements such as proteins, fiber, vitamins and minerals. Eating unhealthy food can result in conditions like obesity and overweight and may even lead to more serious health complications such as hypertension, coronary heart diseases and diabetes. Unhealthy food neither contributes to building muscles or bone, nor do they provide us with sustained energy levels. Such food items frequently cause acne, indigestion, gas problem, bloating, constipation and diarrhea in people who consume them at a regular level.



It's better to choose green leafy vegetables, citrus fruits, fiber cereals and bread, and increased servings of fruit juices.Try to include more servings of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and protein sources in our diet. Stick to healthy cooking methods such as boiling, grilling, roasting, and steaming.
