Today you may have look out upon a world that
has lost one human being. But that would perhaps be due from the problem of our
mother nation-poverty.
Poverty can lead to many aspects, scarcity of human needs,
crimes , high demand, and even death.
Many people in our environment can do such crimes to enable
for them to to cross the bridge of hunger. They are so brave to do worst
things in other for them to eat for a little beat.
If there is high demand in individual needs there is a
possibility that a few few people can afford the amount of product with a
higher quality. Just like on food, many people choose a lower standard of cheap
products with a lower quality.
Some poor people here in the Philippines is depending on
what they have, on what they can prepare for their everyday meal. They are not
choosing the right and the best food for them to
nourish themselves because they lack one of their basic needs, their
food.
Food is a very big question even in the high and in low
level of living.They don’t know the right proportion of the different food
groups that could help the body strong, active and healthy. If we don’t mind
these things there will come a time that it will become a bigger problem.
So this time I will share to you some tips to improve the
diet of every Filipino. A meal consisting mostly of vegetables is not
common, unless you are a vegetarian. You may not care much for color in foods,
preferring meat, fish and poultry instead. What you probably don’t know is that
the more colorful the food, the better it is for your body. Green vegetables
are excellent sources of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients. They
contain vitamins (A, C, D, E and K), folate, iron, calcium, potassium and
magnesium, which are essential for the immune system, blood circulation and
bone formation. According to the food pyramid, next to cereals and grains,
fruits and vegetables should make up bulk of your meals. Here are six dark
green vegetables that you should include in your daily meals. (http://www.3fatchicks.com/6-dark-green-vegetables-to-improve-your-diet/)
Most of us are
fortunate to be surrounded by a great variety of foods; unfortunately, many of
them aren’t healthy for us. On top of it all, telling a good food from a bad
one becomes more challenging every day. Between conflicting nutritional
information and the confusing variety of foods available, what’s a
nutrition-minded Filipino to do? Improved nutrition doesn’t have to be
complicated. Get started today with these five easy ways to improve your diet. (http://healthyhead2toe.sheknows.com/articles/91/5-easy-ways-to-improve-your-diet)
Study after study
confirms that eating breakfast is a habit we should all get into. In addition
to providing energy, eating breakfast improves your concentration, alertness
and productivity. In her book The Daily Fix, registered dietician Alexa L
Fishback recommends eating a breakfast that contains some fiber and some
protein, somewhere in range of 300 to 500 calories. If you don’t feel like
eating first thing in the morning, pack something portable to eat at your desk,
like yogurt and fruit, instant oatmeal or apple slices and peanut butter.
Some
nutrition experts believe this is the single most important thing you can do to
improve your diet. Unfortunately, only a small percentage of women eat the
recommended five servings a day of fruits and vegetables. For vegetables, a
serving is usually 1 cup raw or ½ cup cooked. For fruit, ½ cup or one medium
piece, or ¼ cup of dried fruit constitutes a serving. To up your fruit and
vegetable intake, add a handful of berries to your morning cereal, pack a
banana for a morning snack and keep cut up vegetable visible in your
refrigerator for easy snacking. (http://healthyhead2toe.sheknows.com/articles/91/5-easy-ways-to-improve-your-diet)
The
current recommendations advise getting five to 13 servings of fruits and
vegetables each day, reports the Harvard School of Public Health. Most people
aren't getting enough, but doing so has many positive effects on health and
wellness. The exact amount needed each day depends on age and activity level,
but incorporating more produce in your daily diet can help improve and maintain
your health.
Eating
a diet rich in fruits and vegetables means you are getting adequate amounts of
a variety of nutrients, such as vitamins A and C, fiber and potassium. This
effectively protects you from getting heart disease to a larger extent than
those who don't get enough produce in their daily diet. The more fruits and
vegetables eaten, the lower your risk, as much as 30 percent, according to the
Harvard School of Public Health. Some choices offer more benefits than others,
but all fruits and vegetables contribute to a healthy heart. Those that provide
the most protection include, leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables and citrus
fruits.
The
fiber content in fruits and vegetables means that they keep you feeling full
longer, which can help you keep your weight down by helping you refrain from
overeating. In addition, produce is low in calories, meaning you can eat more
of them without going overboard on calorie intake. Eating fruits and vegetables
whole, rather than as juice or purees, offers more fiber and less energy
density, according to The National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and
Health Promotion. This means that fruits and vegetables have less calories in
ratio to their weight than high-fat foods like bacon. Choosing them means you
are satisfied with fewer calories and that you stay satisfied longer, making it
easier to consume less calories overall, leading to weight loss and maintenance
once goals have been reached.
The
nutrients in fruits and vegetables have been linked to a higher incidence of
cancer prevention. More research needs to be done, but the evidence thus far is
compelling enough to show that a diet high in produce can protect you against
several types of cancer, according to the Harvard School of Public Health. For
example, high intake of lycopene, present in tomatoes and watermelon, may
protect against the development of prostate cancer in men. The carotenoids that
give fruits and vegetables their bright colors has been shown to have a
positive effect on preventing lung, mouth and throat cancer. Non-starchy
vegetables, such as leafy greens, garlic, onions and most fruits, may offer
protection from lung and stomach cancer.
