Hi, My name is Rosemarie Whitehead. I am a WAHM, with 3 delightful, now healthy children and a most tolerant husband.
At the beginning of 2006 I decided that my career as a nurse would be placed on hold, due to increasing family commitments. As I always have been interested in healthy living and enjoy my time preparing food for my family and friends, I investigated the idea of sharing my experiences with others.
I hope you enjoy reading my articles on healthy eating and the future ones to come. I will also be publishing an ebook of healthy recipes in the near future.
Here you will find tips on how to eat healthy
Another aspect to attain and maintain a healthy lifestyle is to eat healthy. One must have well balanced healthy meals.
Our diet should consist of a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables and minimally processed foods.
Fresh fruit and vegetables are rich in vitamins and minerals, essential fats and fiber as well as phytochemicals and are ideal for healthy eating. The therapeutic value of fresh, preferably organic, nutrient packed foods will help towards life-long health and vitality.
Before you commence your healthy eating plan please read my 10 tips for healthy eating.Welcome to a Healthy Lifestyle
My aim is to provide you with interesting and everyday principles for a healthy lifestyle.
The following are easy and simple tips for healthy eating.
1. Health check-up prior to commencing healthy eating program
Visit your Doctor for a full medical prior to commencing any weight loss or detoxifying program. Underlying health problems could be the cause of your weight gain, lethargy and general aches and pain. An under active thyroid which slows metabolism can lead to weight gain. Certain medications, such as antidepressants can also attribute to an increase in weight. Obesity may not be caused by un-healthy eating.
The health check will provide you with an accurate baseline for healthy eating and as an indication of vitamins and minerals missing from your food consumption as well as those that need to be reduced, such as fatty acids.
Poor eating habits and excess weight can lead to obesity, which in turn may cause hypertension, diabetes and asthma.
Your Doctor may refer you to a dietician, who can help formulate a healthy eating plan for your requirements.
2. 2 day detox prior to healthy eating
If you are overweight and feeling generally tired and sluggish, rejuvenate yourself by following this healthy recipe of raw fruit juice and vegetable soup.This will prepare your body for eating healthy foods.
