Diet For Living A Healthy Life

DIET FOR LIVING A HEALTHY LIFE
Entertainment no longer requires energy expenditure In fact,
it’s usually quite the opposite We now entertain ourselves in
the comfort of our own home while watching TV and munching on
our favorite snack Whether it’s television, computers, remote
controls, or automobiles, we are moving less and burning fewer
calories Common activities that were once a part of our normal
routine have disappearedactivities like climbing stairs,
pushing a lawn mower or walking to get somewhere
And please do not misunderstand meI appreciate comfortable
living just as much as the next person But, here is the
problem
With all of our modern day conveniences and “cushy” style of
living we have not adjusted our caloric intake to compensate for
our decreased caloric expenditure We consume more calorie rich
and nutrient deficient foods than ever before Consider a few of
the following examples comparing what we eat “today” vs the
1970′s (US Department of Agriculture survey):
Unfortunately, it would seem that the days of wholesome and
nutritious family dinners are being replaced by fast food and
eating on-the-run We have gradually come to accept that it’s
“OK” to sacrifice healthy foods for the sake of convenience and
that larger serving portions equate to better value
It’s time recognize that we are consuming too many calories and
time to start doing something about it! Each of us can decide
TODAY that healthy eating and exercise habits WILL become a
normal part of our life!
We can begin by exploring our values, thoughts and habits
slowly and deliberately weed-out the unhealthy habits and
activities and start living a more productive and rewarding
life And remember, it has taken a long time to develop bad
habits, so be patient as you work toward your goal!
