    The Diet Equation: What To Add And What To Subtract

    By Laura CyraMarch 20, 2017No Comments3 Mins Read

    When you hear the word diet, you probably think of weight loss automatically. We tend to be caught up on dieting to shed pounds and drop a dress size. But not everyone wants to lose weight. Healthy eating is not just about trimming down. It should also be about ensuring your body is getting everything it needs. Designing the right diet can be tricky, and it’s often a case of identifying what to add and what to take away. Here are some tips to help you solve the diet equation.

    Foods to add to a healthy diet

    The key to building a healthy diet lies in establishing a good balance and including foods that provide your body with essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. Your diet should give you everything you need, but in some cases, taking supplements may be recommended. If you’re at risk of specific diseases, such as osteoporosis or anemia, for example, you may be advised to make changes to your diet, as well as considering taking a tablet on a daily basis. If you are thinking about supplementing your diet, ask your doctor or a pharmacist for advice. They can talk to you about the benefits and also the potential risks, for example, strontium supplement side effects. A healthy diet should include all the major food groups. Fad diets tend to be popular, but they’re not always good for your body. Try and avoid anything that encourages you to cut out an entire food group. Carbohydrates are often vilified, but you need them for fuel and energy.

    There are certain foods that are really good for you, so try and add these if you don’t already eat them on a regular basis. Examples include whole grains, leafy green vegetables, nuts, seeds, oily fish, olive oil, berries, and green tea.

    What to subtract for a healthier diet

    Most of us are aware that the foods we love the most are often not the healthiest. You don’t need to give up chocolate or cakes forever, but keep an eye on your intake of sugary and fatty foods. Your body needs fats but go for foods that are rich in good fats, like omega oils. Oily fish, avocados, nuts, and olive oil are good sources of essential fatty acids. Limit your intake of biscuits, candy, and cakes, and try and swap processed meats for lean cuts, poultry, and fish. Keep an eye on the amount of salt you eat, and try and get into the habit of preparing food at home instead of relying on microwave meals or takeouts. Substitute white bread, pasta, and rice for whole grains and aim for a maximum of two servings of red meat per week. You don’t need to have a rigorous plan in place every day, but making changes to your diet will have an incredibly positive impact on your health.
