DreamLoveBelieve asked:


I have been looking for books about healthy living. I’m trying to find ones that give testament to an organic lifestyle. One that includes no processed foods, sugars, and other things that are bad for you. All I can find are books for eating healthy to cure diseases. I don’t currently have cancer or another disease, I just want to transition to a healthier lifestyle.
Does anyone know of any books like this. I would really appreciate it.

Claz asked:


Eat fish 5 times a week
Have 5 fruit and Veg portions a day
Have at least 2 litres (8 cups) of water a day (which a lot of can come from the fruit and veg you eat).
What other ‘requirements’ are there to achieving the optimum healthy eating?

In today’s fast paced society it’s difficult for us not to stop somewhere for a fast meal or a quick refreshment. We often ignore the Nutrition Facts panel on the packaging of the food which we just purchased because most of the time we are driving as we are consuming the product. What we miss by not looking over those important numbers is both shocking and repulsive.

Whether we are at home or grabbing something fast to eat on the way to work, many of us tend to overlook those nutrition statistics. What we usually miss by overlooking the Nutrition Panel are extremely high calorie, saturated fat, and sodium numbers. All of these numbers have a tremendous effect on our health. It is a well known fact that a diet high in saturated fat and high in sodium can lead to numerous health problems. So how can we avoid the dangers of these foods? Well, the answer is simple, by looking at the Nutrition Facts panel.

Remember that everything you purchase has to have the Nutrition Facts so you never have to guess as to what you are buying. Most people who take the time to look over the nutrition panel simply look over the calories and the grams of saturated fat. While that is important, you also want to make sure that you look at the amount of sodium in the product. Sodium is often overlooked even though it’s an important factor in determining the product’s nutritious values. Too much salt in your diet is very unhealthy; therefore, you should always look at the sodium levels especially if you are eating something canned or frozen. Many companies today are striving to create more sodium-free products. So as long as you are willing to eat healthy, there are many healthy alternatives available today. Just don’t hesitate to look over the Nutrition Facts panel before you purchase the product.

I eat mostly healthy foods- most items are low fat, I lots of fruits and veggies, lean proteins… my problem is with portion control, and of course the occasional indulgence. I eat two to three times the amount I should, and it’s really starting to show. How do I take the leap to truly healthy eating once and for all?
