Why pay attention to what you eat?
Healthy eating will help you get the right balance of vitamins, minerals, and
other nutrients. It will help you feel your best and have plenty of energy. It
can help you handle stress better.
Healthy eating is one of the best things you can do to prevent and control
many health problems, such as:
Heart disease.
Type 2 diabetes.
Healthy eating is not a diet. It means making changes you can live with and
enjoy for the rest of your life.
Diets are temporary. Because you give up so much when you diet, you may
be hungry and think about food all the time. And after you stop dieting, you
also may overeat to make up for what you missed.
Eating a healthy, balanced variety of foods is far more satisfying. And if you
match that with more physical activity, you are more likely to get to
a healthy weightand stay therethan if you diet.
How do you make healthy eating a habit?
First, think about your reasons for healthier eating. Do you want to improve
your health? Do you want to feel better? Are you trying to set an example
for your kids?
Next, think about some small changes you can make. Pick ones you can
keep doing.
Set an easy goal you can reach, like having a salad and a piece of
fruit each day.
Eating a healthy, balanced diet to make sure your brain has the fuel it needs means
more energy and increased productivity at work.

What we eat has an impact on our brains. Did you know bananas contain 10
milligrams of dopamine, a chief mood booster in the brain? Dark chocolate,
packed with polyphenol, is also known to boost serotonin, a neurotransmitter that
many antidepressants also target. You should see a doctor if youre seriously
concerned about your moods, but for the rare gloomy day, try a dark chocolatecovered banana.

Certain foods have the ability to moderate our bodys level of cortisol, the stress
hormone. Some studies have found that foods packed with vitamin C, omega-3
fatty acids and magnesium help reduce cortisol levels. When the body is in a
chronic state of stress, it breaks down protein to prepare for battle. Eating a
protein-rich diet, including fish and dairy, can help replenish protein stores and
keep cortisol levels at bay.

Simple healthy choices such as replacing soda with water, choosing carrots instead
of chips, and ordering a side salad in place of fries not only will help you lose
weight, it also can help you save money. The average household spends
about $850 a year on soft drinks, which could easily be replaced with healthier
and free water.

tax, to ensure that money is available to pay for the health care benefits
specified in the insurance agreement. The benefit is administered by a
central organization such as a government agency, private business, or
not-for-profit entity. According to theHealth Insurance Association of
America, health insurance is defined as "coverage that provides for the
payments of benefits as a result of sickness or injury. Includes insurance
for losses from accident, medical expense, disability, or accidental death
and dismemberment"
