Healthy eating is not about being hunger, staying absolutely thin, or craving for the food
you love. Rather, it’s about being great, energetic, and keeping yourself as healthy as
possible – all which can be achieved by knowing some nutrition basics and fully utilize
them in a way that works for you.
Choose the types of foods that improve your health and avoid the types of foods that raise
your risk for such illnesses as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. Expand your range of
healthy choices to include a wide variety of delicious foods. Learn to use guidelines and
tips for creating and maintaining a satisfying, healthy diet.

Foods rich in certain omega-3 fats called EPA and DHA can reduce
cardiovascular disease, improve your mood and help prevent dementia.
The best sources for the EPA and DHA omega-3 fats are fatty such
salmon, herring, mackerel, anchovies, sardines, and some cold water fish oil
supplements. Canned albacore tuna and lake trout can also be good sources
depending on how the fish were raised and processed.
You may hear a lot about getting your omega-3’s from foods rich in ALA fatty
acids. Main sources are oils and (especially walnuts), flax,
soybeans, and tofu. Be aware that our bodies generally very
little ALA into EPA and DHA, so you may not get as big of a benefit from these
foods.
Answers
1. fish
2. vegetable
3. nuts
4. convert
5. avoid

Healthy Eating: Strategies for a healthy diet

Here are some tips for how to choose foods that improve your health and avoid
foods that raise your risk for illnesses while creating a diet plan that works for
you.
Eat enough calories but not too many. Maintain a balance between your
calorie intake and calorie expenditure—that is, don't eat more food than your
body uses. The average recommended daily allowance is 2,000 calories, but this
depends on your age, sex, height, weight, and physical activity.
Drink more water. Our bodies are about 75% water. It is a vital part of a healthy
diet. Water helps flush our systems, especially the kidneys and bladder, of waste
products and toxins. A majority of Americans go through life dehydrated.
Don’t be the food police. You can enjoy your favorite sweets and fried foods in
moderation, as long as they are an occasional part of your overall healthy diet.
Food is a great source of pleasure, and pleasure is good for the heart – even if
those French fries aren’t!
Get moving. A healthy diet improves your energy and feelings of well-being
while reducing your risk of many diseases. Adding regular physical activity and
exercise will make any healthy eating plan work even better.
One step at a time. Establishing new food habits is much easier if you focus on
and take action on one food group or food fact at a time.
