How Healthy Are You? & How Can You Control It?

One thing I have noticed that I’ve caught myself doing or someone else doing is looking at the labels of food before buying it. As well as when at a restaurant looking at how much calories a dish contains before eating it. Most People are concerned about how much calories they eat due to health problems or they just want to lost weight. Another thing is to avoid gaining weight over time, you should aim to burn up as many calories through basic metabolic function and physical activity as you take in. To know whether you're on track, you need to be able to estimate how many calories you need based on your age, gender and level of physical activity. Different age range need fewer calories than others like adults need fewer calories at older ages. For example, an active 31-year-old man needs about 3,000 daily calories, but an active 50-year-old man needs only about 2,800 calories.

For my project and my weekly writing I want to be able to learn peoples different ways of eating as well as how I can avoid eating un healthy foods. What can I eat instead that would taste just as good. Compare same items but different brands. And whether we want to believe it or not we need to eat healthy because Healthy food nourishes your body with essential nutrients, namely, vitamins, minerals, trace minerals, protein, carbohydrates, fats and enzymes. These nutrients are necessary for life. Without them, your body does not receive the proper fuel it needs to function optimally and you will develop health problems. It may be something minor at first, like headaches, allergies, skin problems or mild fatigue. Eventually, it will lead to major illness, like diabetes, cancer or heart disease. When you start eating healthy food, it is helpful to think of it as an adventure in healthy eating. This way it will be much easier to develop healthy eating habits that last a lifetime, rather than just going on another diet.
