A Healthy Diet -- Food Pyramid

Obesity now a day has become so common and increasing the risk even in children too. This is basically due to a number of lifestyle factors. People who develop healthy eating habits in childhood are more likely to maintain these habits in later life. Parents and elders should encourage good eating habits from early ages to save their kids from being a victim of obesity.

Understanding the food types and the calories and intake is very important to maintain a perfect balanced diet.

Foods fit into 5 different Food Types:
1. Breads, Cereals and Potatoes
2. Fruits and Vegetables
3. Milk and Dairy Products
4. Meat, Fish and Others
5. Foods containing Fat, Oils and Sugar
Most of us have heard about the food pyramid? For those of you who don’t know, the food pyramid is carefully drawn up plan of exactly what the human body needs nutritionally.

( Check this chart for more details )


Breads, Cereals and Potatoes along with Fruits and Vegetables have Carbohydrate, along with Vitamins and Minerals. These food types are good to consume regularly.

Milk, Dairy Products, and Meat and Fish contains more of Protein and other Vitamins and Minerals, Calcium. We need these types of foods to grow –bones and our muscles. These food types should be consumed regularly.

Foods that contain Fat, Oils and Sugars include things like Butter, Crisps and Chips. These food types make up the top of the food pyramid and should be eaten sparingly.

A healthy diet is one that contains a variety of different food types, and different foods from the same food type.

7 Tips For Maintaining A Healthy Lifestyle

1. Keep away from excessive smoking & drinking. This is the first and foremost thing need to be adapted for improvement of personal hygiene

2. Live with nature. Green plants, green herbs, green salads, always are good to go with. Living with plants having plenty of oxygen reduces various health issues as well decreases stress and recuperate from illness.

3. Control your weight. Overweight or underweight is not advisable…control your weight as needed. Though underweight is fine for most of the people, overweight has lot of effect on our health. Getting tired easily, not able to sit or stand for long times, feeling heavy, etc

4. Keep your mind fresh, try yoga or meditation, which activates your neurons as well, energizes your body.

5. Another old technique is fasting. Eating less food reduces tissue wear and tear from excess blood sugar, inflammation and free radicals. Drinking water periodically is necessary too.

6. Treat chronic pains. Consult your physician and get your chronic pains addressed. Chronic pain dampens the immune system and sometimes causes depression and tends to elevate levels of the noxious stress hormone cortisol.
7. Start walking and exercising and practice warm up on a daily or weekly basis. Regular exercise helps you various health complications. Light exercise also reduces the likelihood of diabetes, cancer, depression, dementia and even aging of the skin.

How to Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is easy than most of us think, all we need to do is accept few changes in our daily routine and food habits and we can feel the difference of a “ALL is WELL” note.

Habits are the first and foremost thing, which affects one’s lifestyle, health always, relies on our day to day basis regular activities. Taking food late, excessive alcohol consumption, excessive smoking, no regular diet, taking high fat content, no exercise, are some of the habits which show lot of impact to our health.

Lets see quick tips which can make the quick change..

1. Keep a regular track of diet you taking for a week and slowly change it. Say if are overweight and want to reduce weight, calculate the calories you taking for every diet for one week and as per the new calculation start a diet table for the next week with low calorie food and same with underweight.

2. Avoid eating food late, in the recent times our lifestyle has became so mechanical that often we tend to forgo our regular food for some work. Try to avoid this as much as possible, take food as per regular diet you maintain, this will decrease digestion problems and will parallely increases .
3. Excessive alcohol consumption or excessive smoking is not only injurious to health but also disturbs the social and health life. Once in a while may be ok but excessive of this habit kills your appetite at the same time disturbs your relations with your partners at times. Maintaining a balance between your habits and at the same time caring your relations with your loved ones is more important.

4. Regularly check your Blood pressure, weight, BMI to ensure you are following a good diet and keeping yourself healthy. Take fresh fruits and vegetables as and whenever possible. Fresh salads, fruit juices are better then fried foods and fancy drinks

5. Spare atleast 10-15 minutes of your time on regular exercises or a normal warm up or atleast on walking. Morning or evening walks does keep your mind fresh as well burn those extra calories you earn with some of the foods.

6. Do not overdose yourself with medicine for every small thing you feel. I have seen so many people going for meds especially over the counter for every small thing happening with them.


7. Last thing I would say is keep your mind healthy and peaceful. Try doing some yoga or meditation for sometime to keep your brain relaxed. If you are healthy at mind it would definitely make you feel much healthier and stronger physically too. Whenever you get time, take a break from your routine work and enjoy the nature, travel, etc

These are the few things which can be given a thought and which can make an impact on your lifestyle…be relaxed….eat good….maintain good habits and you are healthy.
Take care.....
