KEEP HEALTHY, HEEP HAPPY
Keep happy when you are on diet, generally your immune system is not strong enough when you are on diet, a happy mood can always boost your health.
EAT ENOUGH CALORIES BUT NOT TOO MANY
Maintain a balance between your calorie intake and calorie expenditure - that is, don't eat more food than your body uses. The average recommended daily allowance is 2,000 calories, but this depends on your age, sex, height, weight, and physical activity.
EAT A WIDE VARIETY OF FOODS
Healthy eating is an opportunity to expand your range of choices by trying foods - especially vegetables, whole grains, or fruits - that you don't normally eat.
KEEP PORTIONS MODERATE
especially high-calorie foods. In recent years serving sizes have ballooned, particularly in restaurants. Choose a starter instead of an entree, split a dish with a friend, and don't order super-sized anything.
EAT PLENTY OF FRUITS, VEGETABLES, GRAINS AND LEGUMES
foods high in complex carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, low in fat, and free of cholesterol. Try to get fresh, local produce
foods high in complex carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, low in fat, and free of cholesterol. Try to get fresh, local produce. Limit sugary foods, salt, and refined-grain products. It is always wise to eat breakfast because when we skip meals, we run low on energy and tend to eat more at another meal. Likewise, healthy morning and afternoon snacks can keep appetites low and energy levels high. Limit juice, minimize sugar-containing soda, and consider a change from whole milk to low fat (1 or 2 percent). Drinking six to eight glasses of water a day may also help. Get regular exercise, both individually and as a family-after dinner walks, Sunday bike rides, or other activities. One step at a time. Establishing new food habits is much easier if you focus on and take action on one food group or food fact at a time.
