Food Nutrient Cycle Is the Substance Of Life
Author: Mike Herman
The
nutrients that we receive from the food nutrient cycle are the
sustenance of life. Nutrients from our diet serve our bodies with
the energy to thrive, to heal, and to help vital organs function
properly.
The
food nutrient cycle is nature's way to provide you body with the
vitamins and minerals it needs. But even the most balanced daily
diet can be short on the right amount of nutrients. It is important
to supplement your daily diet with a multivitamin. Which Nutrients
Are In Your Diet?
A large
part of your diet should include fresh fruit and vegetables. Their
mineral, vitamin, and fiber content are especially important to
internal organ function. And some fats are good for you ... believe
it or not.
Essential
fatty acids are important to your intestinal health and can be
found in salmon and cold-pressed oils. A healthy diet should include
servings of fruit , vegetables, grains, dairy, meat, poultry,
fish, dried beans, eggs, fats, oils, and nuts. All of these do
not need to be consumed in one day but can be spread out over
several days.
To
maintain a healthy weight, your physical activity level should
expend the amount of calories you consume per day. To lose weight,
simply expend more calories than you consume. This is the safe
and natural way to lose weight, and it promotes healthy weight
management.
The
benefits of controlling your diet and weight are that you reduce
your risk of heart attack, high cholesterol, high blood pressure,
stroke, and heart disease. Monitoring your nutrient intake assures
you of a healthy weight, good blood pressure and a good cholesterol
level. |
