FOOD HABITS
Issues with food, weight and body images are not easy to talk about. Most people are looking for ready to eat, a magic pill, or the latest popular diet. But the reality is that there are no magic secrets or quick tips when it comes to managing your eating habits and maintaining a healthy weight. Healthy eating is really a very simple concept.
WHAT AN ADEQUATE DIET PROVIDE
An adequate diet should provide:
The necessary calories to supply the required energy,
Proteins and minerals for building and repair of body cells,
Vitamins and minerals to supply the protective materials.
The body derives its energy mainly from fats and carbohydrates such as butter, oil, ghee, cereals, pulses, sugar, cheese, its body building materials from milk, eggs, meat, fish, and cheese supplemented by cereals, pulses, and nuts; and its protective materials from the minerals and vitamins of milk, cream, butter, egg, cheese, fruits, vegetables, particularly green raw vegetables.
It is pointed out that it is unnecessary for the housewife to calculate the number of calories, the amounts of protein, this particular vitamin, or that particular mineral she was supplying in the daily diet of her family. We suggest that a diet made of the following foods would provide all the necessary nutrients:-
MILK: At least 1/2 litre daily and more for children.
CHEESE AND PULSES: At least once per day.
MEAT, FISH OR EGGS: Once in 2-3 days-for non vegetarians .This can be supplemented by dry fruits for vegetarians.
FRUIT: At least once daily, preferably in breakfast.
VEGETABLE: Two kinds’ daily and including one green vegetable. Salad should also be taken with each meal.
FAT: butter or ghee /oil.
CEREALS: Wheat flour is the most valuable.
WATER: About 2 litre daily, half in the form of water & remaining can be in the form of milk/tea/ coffee/juices.
Then eat any other foods you like in order to satisfy your appetite. The more varied in the diet the less likely it is to be deficient in any one nutrient.
