Nutrition Labels & Tips for Healthy Eating

The nutrition label located on each and every food item, will tell you all the information about that food.  For some however, this information isn’t exactly that reader friendly.  Fear not, as it’s actually easier than you think.

Serving Size
This size is based on the amount people eat. Similar food items will have similar serving sizes, thus making it easier to compare 2 foods of the same category.

% Daily Value
This indicates how food will fit in a 2,000 calorie diet.  This will help you to understand if the food has a lot, or just a little of the important nutrients.

The middle section
The nutrients you’ll find listed in the middle section are the ones that are most important to your health.  This information can help you to calculate your daily limit of fat, fibre, sodium, and other nutrients.

Vitamins & minerals
The percent daily value found here is the exact same as the U.S. Recommended Daily Allowance for vitamins and minerals.  

Now that you know what the nutrition label actually means, it’ll be a lot easy to eat healthy. 

Tips for Healthy Eating

Healthy eating is a way of balancing the food you eat to keep your body in great health.  With healthy eating, you’ll have energy all day, get the vitamins and minerals you need, stay strong for activities you enjoy, and maintain a healthy weight.

Stop thinking about diets
There are neither good foods nor any bad foods.  All food can be a part of a healthy diet, when eaten in moderation.  You don’t need to buy any low carb, fat free, or even diet foods, as these foods normally have lots of other added ingredients to replaces the carbohydrates or fat.

Don’t skip meals
Eating 3 meals with snacks in between is the ideal way to maintain both energy and a healthy weight. When you skip meals and get hungry, you’re more than likely to choose foods that aren’t very good for you.

If you are eating away from home, take food with you or know where you can buy healthy food from.

Learn to prepare foods
Instead of deep frying, try grilling, stir frying, microwaving, baking, and even boiling.  You should also try fresh or even dried herbs and spices to  add flavour to your food.  Before you eat any type of meat, be sure to trim the fat and skin off of it.

Avoid sugar
Drinks that contain sugar are a major source of empty energy.  What this means, is that the drinks contain a lot of energy that your body may not need, and it doesn’t contain any vitamins or minerals.  If you plan to drink sugary drinks, don’t go overboard – limit yourself to 1 a day.
