Balanced Diet - To Keep Your Health in Good Condition!

Eating the right portion of food is essential. If your body gives you a signal that it's full, you must immediately stop eating. When you decide to leave to office, check your food bag. Check if there are any junk foods packed such as chips, chocolate bars, cookies, cola drinks etc. Instead of getting tempted towards it you must take initiative to remove that from your bag. Think of the long term consequences they may have on your health. You must avoid aerated drinks like cola and soft drinks, fried foods like chips if you have heart burning sensation. It is not a good sign to have it often! If this happens, it calls for a change in diet. Have a balanced diet! Eat a protein rich meal with some fruit or a salad and that will also go towards your five a day for fruit and vegetables.

Secondly, eat your food slowly, gulping down antacids every now and then is not advisable. Instead you can correct your stomach problems through curds or yoghurt and lemon. Make it a point to add curds in your breakfast or lunch as it is rich in probiotics, your friendly bacteria which is helpful for digestion and also consists of enzymes. Enzymes are required for all body functioning and helps absorb the nutrients in your food.

If you have food allergies towards certain food items, such as milk, eggs, wheat you can avoid them. You can eat fruits and fresh green vegetables which have lot of live enzymes in them. It is better to eat green grams which are sprouted and eat it raw to keep the enzymes alive. It is good to have salads and raw green grams. Gulping down chocolates, sweets, cakes and biscuits do not help as they are quickly absorbed into the bloodstream and cause your blood sugar levels to rise rapidly and then just as quick to drop.

Do not skip your break fast, it is required for your body functioning and to start off your day in an energized manner! Eat egg, a glass of milk, two slice of bread and a cup of oats which is rich in fibre. This fibre rich wheat bread and oats will improve digestion and also keeps you energized. You can have snacks in between your meals, low-fat snack like fruit, dried fruit, yogurt or some nuts and seeds can replace chocolate bar and biscuits.

Do not forget to drink plenty of water (7-8 glasses) throughout the day to aid digestion process.
