"Healthy eating means consuming a variety of foods that give you the nutrients you need to maintain your health, feel good, and have energy. These nutrients include protein, carbohydrates, fats, water, vitamins, and minerals. Nutrition is important for everyone. When combined with being physically active and maintaining a healthy weight, eating well is an excellent way to help your body stay strong and healthy.
For one thing, carbohydrates are the body's main source of energy. They are found in grains, such as bread, pasta, and rice, as well as in fruits, vegetables, and milk. Your body breaks down these into simple sugars, which are then absorbed into the bloodstream and used for energy. Your body uses proteins to build and repair tissues. You can find proteins in meat, poultry, fish, and eggs, as well as in beans, nuts, and dairy products. Fats are a very concentrated form of energy. They store energy and help the body use vitamins in food. Fats also provide essential fatty acids - nutrients that the body needs but cannot make itself. You can get healthy fats from olive oil, nuts, and avocados.
Vitamins help with chemical reactions in the body. They also help to regulate the body processes, such as metabolism, immunity, and digestion. There are 13 vitamins that the body needs and they are divided into two categories: fat-soluble and water-soluble. Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) are stored in the body's fatty tissues and are not readily excreted. Water-soluble vitamins (B-complex and C) are not stored in the body and need to be replenished regularly. Minerals help your body grow, develop, and stay healthy. The body uses minerals to perform many different functions – from building strong bones to transmitting nerve impulses. Some minerals are even used to make hormones or maintain a normal heartbeat.
Eating a variety of foods can help prevent many common health problems. Foods are made up of many different nutrients that your body needs to stay strong and healthy. Runners, for instance, need more calories than sedentary people because they have a higher metabolic rate. A balanced diet for a runner would include protein, carbohydrates, and fats. Not getting enough of these nutrients can have serious health consequences."
