How You Can Become A Healthier Eater

How you become a healthier eater starts in one place and one place only: You must become more educated about the foods you consume and what healthy eating actually is. The term "being food smart" is the beginning step to becoming a healthier eater. Here are some steps you can use to become a healthier eater. This will get you to be "food smart"!:


1. Being a healthy eater it is all about balance and moderation. Eat healthy meals on a consistent basis and do not limit yourself to one type of food or only stay in one food group.

2. Make sure that you consume healthy meals: DO NOT DEPRIVE! Missing meals whether it is on purpose or because of a busy schedule is no excuse. You need to fuel your body and keep your brain alert so you can function throughout the day. Skipping these meals will lead to bad eating habits and choices as well as contribute to gains in weight and possible obesity issues if it is continued over a period of time.

3. If you get in the "good" habit of eating healthy, you will be able to make sound judgements on your food choices as a part of your daily routine. You will know what are the foods that are best for you and what effect they have on your body.

4. If you get in the "bad" habit of not eating healthy, this will take a toll on other aspects of your life such as your sleep patterns, snack habits, irritability issues, weight gains and losses that are not healthy, etc.

5. Be a role model for your kids. Healthy eating and diets for kids starts with you. They see what you eat and will mimic what you are doing. If you are eating unhealthy foods, your kids will be eating unhealthy as well. We all know that here in the U.S., Childhood Obesity is a MAJOR problem with our kids today. If you "show" your kids that eating healthy is what they need to be doing, your kids will get into good eating habits and be a low-risk of obesity risks as they grow.

6. NEVER restrict food! Whether it is you for yourself or with your kids as a punishment. Healthy eating habits must be a part of your life and lifestyle. Restricting food is always a bad thing to do. There is not one good thing that can come from restricting food.
