Diet & Weight Loss

Healthy food forms the building blocks of a healthy body. Good nutrition and a balanced diet are important components of overall health. Insufficient exercise and improper nutrient intake, especially during adolescence and early adulthood, can significantly increase the risk of chronic ailments like osteoporosis, a disease that causes bones to become brittle and crack or break easily. A balanced diet must be rich in carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, mineral salts and fiber, in correct proportion. In everyday life poor nutrition can lead to weight gain, frequent mood swings and increased levels of stress. If you are cautious to limit sugar, salt and fat intake and include enough of fresh fruits and vegetables, lean meats, whole grains and other healthy foods in your diet, you will enjoy increased health and vitality.
