Healthy food tips aren’t any good unless you follow them. This is the problem and that is that many people know how to eat right, but they don’t do it. In this day and age when information is readily available online and everywhere you go on healthy food tips how can anyone not know how to eat the right foods. They know but don’t do!

Just for the heck of it I’m going to lay out the basics. It all starts at the grocery store. When you’re shopping for food you need to read the labels! You are looking for calories, fat, salt and sugar amounts of each food you buy.

Healthy food tips are right there for you to read if only you will. Before you go shopping you need to research and find out how much of each is the right amount for you. Obviously, if you’re trying to lose weight then you choose low cal, low fat foods.

You also need to know about portion control and not eat heaping helpings or multiple helpings. This is basic healthy eating 101, we all know this.

Always eat breakfast and eat several small meals a day not 3 great big ones. Keep track of what you eat it all counts! Do not allow yourself to get hungry, hungry people over eat. Stressed out people over eat, so stress and emotional eating is a no no.

Don’t eat just before going to bed use the 3 hour rule and eat your last bite of food three hours before bedtime. Drink more water and less soft drinks. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits as well as less processed foods.

These healthy food tips are of no benefit to you if you don’t do them. If you choose to have poor eating habits then you will pay and you will pay dearly as time goes on.

Just eating right isn’t enough either you need to have a consistent exercise routine in place to reap the full benefits of healthy foods. Diet and exercise work together to maintain good health. If you don’t know this then you have been living in a cave.

The reality is that people know and don’t care, but they will care after a stroke or heart attack lands them in the hospital like it did my mother as well as my brother and father.

I’m determined that poor health doesn’t sneak up on me how about you? Don’t say I can’t afford it when in fact you can’t afford not to.
