Planning the activity Food gives the body the energy needed for daily activities like walking, gym, playing football or riding a bike. It is also necessary for the normal body functions. However, no matter what age you are, it is very important to eat healthy food. It is never late to start eating healthy food and improve your eating habits.
The eat well plate Most people are slaves of their unhealthy habits and when it comes to food, they usually shop in the same market, buy the same food and prepare the meals in the same way. But if you are seriously interested in eating healthier food, you need to change something in your habits and lifestyle. Many people find it difficult to change their habits and diet, because they are accustomed to a particular type of food and drinks and are less interested in trying different meals than their regular.
As time goes by, habits become routine and it is difficult to make some changes. Even those who have changed their bad habits can easily return to old habits, in any moment of stress.
Healthy eating habits-a few tips • Eat Food Rich In Calcium You must eat calcium-enriched food and try to add this new rule in your healthy habits list.

Healthy Eating Habits Here are some ideas to help you introduce healthy eating habits in your everyday life which can improve your body line and mental health. Chewing Food If you chew your food slowly, you will eat smaller and more frequent portions. This happens because our stomach is sending message to our brain that it is full 20 minutes later. So chew slowly, it is healthier. Eat More Food Starving is not a solution if you are trying to lose weight. All you need is to eat well. Focus on eating small meals with all required nutrients included, for examples healthy snacks. Eat Grain Food Grain food is important source of fiber essential for intellectual and physical growth. Grain food is also a good source of carbohydrates and proteins necessary for normal function of your organism. Avoid Red Meat Lower your cholesterol to normal level. Eating Fish or chicken as your daily meat intake will help you achieve this.
Healthy eating habits Rule #1: Always start with veggies you enjoy
• 50% of your plate should always be filled with high quality (ideally green) vegetables. • Great choices are: mixed salad greens, steamed broccoli, chopped kale, snap peas, grilled asparagus, baby spinach, steamed carrots, and spaghetti squash. • Here’s why veggies matters so much: vegetables provide a couple different kinds of special dietary fiber that 1) optimizes your digestion and 2) keeps you full longer.
Rule #2:Once we have our veggies in place, we shift our focus to the second step of how to make dieting easier: adding in one main protein source for our mea
Rule #3: The final quarter of your plate is reserved for lean protein sources such as organic chicken, wild-caught salmon, tilapia, trout, whole eggs, grass-fed beef, and organic turkey.
• Here’s why lean protein matters: Protein keeps you extremely full (which is key for weight loss).
What is a perfect plate? Simply: it’s a plate that incorporates the healthy foods you already enjoy eating in the proper portions – with the end goal of providing your body with the nutrition to support your weight loss and health goals.
