Who in this world doesn’t want to look good and feel good?

Everyone wants to look best and be healthy, no one likes to be sick and everyone loves to feel good and look beautiful, slim and trim.

The most important factor, which makes us look good and feel good, is food. We get energy from food, we look healthy when we eat good food, and we look good if we eat properly and proportionately.

Hence, food is the most important factor in our life and without it we cannot survive. Diet is the most important part of our life; our diet is what we eat every day.

Today I am going to tell you about the importance of proper diet & food and tips to consume for fit and healthy life.

Diet is very important if you want to reduce weight because weight loss is 80% diet and 20% sweat. Working out alone is not going to help you reduce your weight. I do not deny the fact that exercise helps to reduce weight, but diet plays a much more important role in weight loss.

If you want to be healthy then make sure that, you eat a well nourished and well-proportioned diet as too much of something is not good. If you eat too much then you will become obese which will lead to all kinds of health problems like blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol, arthritis, back ache, etc.

I remember reading a beautiful quote, which goes like, “Eat your food like your medicines or else you will eat your medicines like food”.

The above quote is indeed true and gives a very good message, so watch what you eat.

Avoid processed and canned food because, they are filled with sugar and salt, which act like preservatives and are very bad for health. The fresh packaged fruit juices, which we drink contains high amounts of sugar and the frozen food and other ketchup’s and sauces, which we consume, are filled with fat, MSG, sugar and salt, which are quite dangerous to our health.

Make sure that you include lots of fruits and vegetables in your diet and avoid oil as much as possible. Fruits and vegetables help to detoxify your system and oil is necessary for our body to function but too much of oil is very bad. Make sure that you fast at least once a month to give rest to your digestive system.

Hence, these are some of the tips, which you ought to follow to eat your way to a healthy life.
