Nutrition Month 2017 - Healthy diet, gawing habit for life!

Healthy diet according to World Health Organization (WHO) helps protect against malnutrition
in all its forms, as well as noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), including diabetes, heart disease, stroke and
cancer. It means that healthy diet plays an important role in securing that we are free of any diseases and it
also implies that observing a healthy diet will avoid us from malnutrition which is very common in some part
of the world. It is important to take care of our health in order for us to maximize our skills and talents. Taking
care of our health starts by creating a healthy diet plan and proper mindset. It all starts from making goals
about having a healthy lifestyle and sticking to it.

There are now different types of diseases that are present everywhere and can easily catch by
our bodies. We can protect ourselves from getting diseases by simply starting a healthier way of living which
means equipping ourselves about the importance of eating right foods and avoiding those junk foods. Each of
us is guilty of eating unhealthy foods, starting right now we should learn to control and choose wisely those
foods we intake for our own sake. In the long run we will be the one who will be benefited of eating healthy
foods and choosing a healthy diet and in general eating fruits and vegetables. Some really have big problem
when it comes to feeding themselves with vegetables like eggplant, okra and ampalaya, these are some of the
most nutritious vegetables available almost in every market. Make sure to eat clean foods which means those
veges and fruits that are fresh and organic because fresh fruits and vegetables has more nutrients compared
to those that are not organically cultivated and staled.
 Healthy diet is not all about eating healthy foods but also about accompanying it with exercises.
To achieve a perfect body and healthy mind we must also do some exercises like going regularly to the gym.
Achieving a healthy body should not be expensive so if one can't afford a gym membership there's a lot of
ways to stay in shape. We can simply exercise at the comfort of our homes like dancing, aerobics, zumba and
even brisk walking and jogging outside. If school or offices is just a few blocks away from your home then its
better to just walk aside from burning fats it is also economic. Being healthy is not hard today since there are
alot of videos or tutorials available online which we can use and helpful like DIY gym equipments and using
things that are available at home.There are also working out plans we can find to fitness sites and blogs. Not
exercising is no longer an excuse since resources are almost in just a click.

Creating a healthy diet plan is useless without sticking to it. The hardest part about being a healthy
person is sticking to what is planned. We are good in making an ideal plan but its hard to stick to it making it
as a habit. The key to a healthy lifestyle is a healthy mindset and clear achievable goals.
