Becoming a Healthy Eater

Eating healthy means being informed and making smart choices without obsessing over numbers. It’s not about counting grams of fat or calories or scrutinizing labels.

Healthy eating is about balance—having nutritious meals three times a day with a variety of foods. It’s not restricting yourself to a specific food type or group.

Flexibility is key in healthy eating. You might eat a bit too much or too little and sometimes consume less nutritious foods. The goal is to regularly fuel your body and mind to stay strong and alert.

Healthy eaters are problem solvers. They use sound judgment, make wise decisions, and are aware of the impact of their food choices on their bodies.

When eating is out of control, other aspects of life may follow suit—spending too much, talking excessively, or staying up too late.

Remember, restricting food is not the solution. Healthy eating is a lifestyle choice that enhances your well-being. If you want to improve your life, start with healthy eating. It benefits you, those around you, and your family.
