Do you believe in the proverbial saying “You Are What You Eat?”
Whether you are a believer of this phrase or not, the notion simply implies that you need to eat good food to stay healthy and fit.
You may take it literally, but the food we eat has some bearing on our health and state of mind.
In this article, discover the kind of nutrients that we should constantly be taking to maintain a healthy and fit body.
Let’s classify the foods into three groups: Go, Slow, and Whoa: In the ‘Go’ category, the foods in the category can be consumed daily.
That’s because these foods are low in fat, calories, and sugar. These foods include whole fruits and vegetables.
For instance, you may eat two cups of fruit per day to supplement your daily need of the required nutrients.
In the ‘Slow’ food category, we should consume foods that are higher in fat and have added sugar and calories. These include canned butter, eggs, cheese, pizza, or anything fried.
For the ‘Whoa’ category, we should avoid as much as possible drinking soda, junk foods, canned fruit drinks, candies, chocolates, among others.
Lastly, the food you eat should be balanced with the energy you consume daily.
