what is healthy eating? how much do you know about healthy eating?

Let me ask you guys this question:
What is healthy eating?
How much do you know about healthy eating?
And do you think you live a healthy life?
Thousand of overseas tertiary education students generally do not make healthy food choices. Therefore, our campaign is mainly for Insearch overseas students who are far away from their family. From our campaign, you will acknowledge some simple and useful ways to keep healthy by yourselves.
We expect to send the message called “Go for healthy eating” to Insearch overseas students, the key point is to eat 2 fruit and 5 vegetables everyday. Here you can find out nifty ways to get more fruit and vegetables into your day, plus some super simple tasty recipes.

What is Healthy Eating? The meaning of the healthy eating is a Well-Balanced Diet. It’s what you eat most of the time that affects your health most. That means no need for lists of “forbidden foods” that you need to learn to live without. That’s self-defeating “diet talk” that we know has a slim chance of lasting long term!
Reams of research tell us that many of these health problems are avoidable by eating a well-balanced diet and exercising regularly. And the earlier in life you begin, the better.
Here are some general guidelines for making healthy food choices:

Aim for more fruits and vegetables. Eating more vegetables and fruits at meals and snacks helps displace higher calorie – and often less nutritious – foods, without leaving you feeling hungry.
Include low fat protein foods – like lean meat, poultry, seafood, eggs, reduced fat dairy foods, beans, soy foods, nuts and seeds – with meals and snacks whenever possible. These foods will help you meet your daily protein requirements (50 grams per day for women, 63 grams for men), and provide many important vitamins and minerals.

Trim the fat. Most people – particularly those who eat out a lot – eat far more fat than is healthy. Limit foods that are fried, prepared with a cream or cheese sauce, or have lots of added butter or oil.

Opt for whole grains whenever possible. Look for whole grain breads, fiber-containing cereals, brown rice and other “brown” grain foods.

Limit your access to “junk foods.” You greatly increase your odds of overindulging if they’re too easily available.

Don’t skip meals. Give yourself every opportunity to get the good stuff in. Skipping meals during the day also often leads to overeating at night, which is not a healthy habit, particularly for those watching their weight.

After hearing those tips, we will tell you healthy life is not about just think, we can help you get through all the problems and finally achieve your goals.
