Just What Is a Healthy Diet Anyway?
February 13, 2010
The biggest challenge in planning, eating and maintaining a healhty diet is knowing exactly what a healthy diet consists of. There are six components of every diet. whether good or bad. The formula behind a "healthy" diet is knowing how much of each component is necessary to achieve your goal and how much is just too much.
The basic components of a healthy diet include:
- Protein
- Fat
- Carbohydrates
- Vitamins
- Minerals
- Water
Nutrition-101 How to Eat Healthy from WebMD is designed to help break it down into easy to understand terms that make it easier to plan and stick to a healthy diet customized to fit your lifestyle.
What are calories? How are they measured? How are they calculated?
It's enough to make your head spin, isn't it?
We've all heard the term - we've all learned how to read labels and count them, but do you know what they really are? Perhaps understanding what they are can lead to a greater understanding and we all know knowledge is power.
Spring will be here before you know it. Don't let the season sneak up on you and you be filled with regret again for having not gotten a jump-start on a new and improved healthier you!
