We grew up learning about the Food pyramid and how important it is to have our daily intake of each food group. The reason for this is because nutrition is so important to our lives. Good nutrition will protect us from many health related issues, it will give us the energy that we need to make it through the day and it keeps our minds sharp. These are of course only a few of the things that we receive from eating the right foods.

Nutrition has the power to heal many aspects of our lives from our physical well-being to our mental well-being. A healthy body really does produce a healthy mind. This means that you will feel positive about things overall. We always feel better about ourselves when we look good. You gain lost confidence when you lose that extra weight, or when you begin working out.

Exercising should always be incorporated into building a healthy body and mind. It helps to improve the quality of life on so many levels. This doesn’t mean that you need to begin going to the gym every day. You simply need to start getting that blood pumping a few times a week. It can be walking around the block after dinner before you sit down to enjoy your dessert, taking a bike ride when around the neighborhood, or simply swimming laps in the pool. Or mix things up and do each of them three times during the week. You will begin to feel the difference in your body and your mind within two weeks.

Water is essential to every living thing on earth. You must no matter how difficult you find it to be consume enough of it daily. Dehydration causes you to feel run down, and can lead to much bigger health related problems. So while you are taking your walk bring a water bottle. Do your best to drink plenty of water every day.

Changing the foods that you eat is not always simple. But if you make the decision to begin eating healthy just stop buying the foods that are not good for you. If it’s not in the house it will be easy to resist the temptations. You can find many great recipes online that will give you great ideas for dinners, lunch and breakfast.
