subject: Experiencing The Pleasure Of Eating Healthy Foods [print this page] Health foods are often thought of as being bland, unappetizing and sometimes even nauseating.What many people do not realize is that not everything that tastes good is bad for you.It is a common misconception that is ingrained in almost everybody's minds.
Knowingly or unknowingly, the average American follows the Standard American Diet or S.A.D.This unhealthy diet is high in fats and refined forms of carbohydrates.It does not include sufficient amounts of raw fruits and vegetables making it fiber deficient.The recommended fiber intake of adults is 20-35 grams of fiber daily.Sadly, for most Americans, consuming 12-15 grams is already a lot.
It would surely come as a surprise to many that healthy foods can be just as delicious and mouth-watering as creamy pasta or burrito.Healthy foods are not limited to just fruits and vegetables.By being creative and resourceful, anyone can whip up a healthy dish that tastes just like, or even better than those delicious calorie laden ones.
There are certainly a lot of healthy recipes that are quite boring and even downright inedible.However, there are also many which are actually very tasty.It's just a matter of finding the right recipes. You do not have to sacrifice taste to eat healthy.There are many great ideas to discover that will teach you how to cook healthy foods that taste like real food.
If you compare a typical fast food diet to a balanced and healthy one, the latter would have more food choices and colors.What makes it even better is that with a healthy diet, you can actually drop two and a half pounds a week without even exercising.Many people are reluctant to try eating healthy foods because they are stuck with the wrong mindset.It's just too bad that these people are missing out on the benefits of eating such foods, including the fact that they taste good.They will never find out until they actually eat healthy foods.In addition, health foods offer a variety of nutrients.Although they may cost more than fast foods, the money spent is well worth it.
You can lose weight by making the right food choices.High fiber foods are low in calories and are very filling.You can eat a lot and not worry about the caloric burden.You will also feel full longer enabling you to avoid snacking.Another great benefit of eating fibrous foods is that it encourages regularity in elimination leading to an overall healthy digestive system.High fiber foods include fruits, vegetables and whole grain products.The recommended daily intake of fiber is 25-30 grams.Unfortunately, most Americans only consume about 10 grams daily making them miss out on something that can help them achieve optimum health.A high fiber diet enables you to avoid overeating while providing you with a variety of important nutrients.It keeps your cholesterol levels low thereby helping you maintain good cardiovascular health as well.And finally, it is a diet that does not deprive you of the pleasures of enjoying your food which is one of the greatest things in the world.
