One of the very interesting observations aI have made regarding the habit of eating healthy is the fact that it’s not just about that, it’s about a general care for your body. People who eat healthier usually love sports, love to take long walks, love nature.

I think that it’s a state of mind here, not just a chemical process, because in the end that is what eating healthy means - to provide your body the right chemicals. Plain and simple, isn’t it? Our bodies are machines running on particular chemicals. If you feed your car with bad oil or gas, it will stop eventually, isn’t it? It is the same with our bodies. If we eat healthy, if we walk a lot, if we have a proper hygiene, then it will all work fine.

Did I mention sleeping? A good night sleep is better than a lot other things. Sleep well, take the time to relax before sleeping, eath ligh in the evening, ventilate your bedroom, read a light book, those things are related!

So, my dear friends, it is not just about what you eat, it is about your state of mind and state of being.

Work on that, will you?

Do you know one of the most important tricks you could do to make your children eat more fruits when at home?

Maybe you have never thought about it but the solution is to always have the fruits where they can see them.

Add a plate with bananas, apples, grapes in the middle of the kitchen table and in the living room and you will see that each time your children will get in the neighborhood of these plates they will pick one of the fruits standing there.

Of course, you need to be sure they are washed up, clean, cause your child will probably never bother to wash them himself/herself. am I righ tor what?

I have observed this way that the quantity of fruits that get eaten eavery day almost doubles.

It is the same idea as when selling them: put them where people can see them, make them shine and be sure they will get eaten and your children will be more healtier and happier, because fruits equals health, we all know that!

I have seen these last days a very interesting eating habit, a habit that I don’t agree with, of eating only pizza and drinking only carbonated drinks. Man, I used to be like this a few years ago, but at one moment I have understood that this is not the way to go on long term.

I have tried to explain this to the persons eating only pizza/coke, namely my brother in law and his wife, but the result was not the one I would have expected, I guess it is because of the fact that we are pretty close as age and sounded like their parents advices, I don’t know. I tried at one point to explain them why it is very important to eat healthy when we were at a restaurant where me and my wife ordered fish soup and grilled fish and they ordered as usual, pizza and coke. They don’t like fish that much. OK, this is not an issue, you could try once in a while some kind of a salad, or at least a soup of some sort, a chicken soup or some vegetable soup, from my point it would be great to forget once in a while about pizza.

Don’t get me wrong, I love pizza, but I don’t eat it often and I surely know the importance of a good meal such as a warm soup, especially when you are in a holiday where you can not rely on your home kitchen.

I didn’t have too much success with my stories about how to eat healthy, but I guess I will try more since we are relative, I will try to make them understand that sometimes it is better to also consider other kind of food than fast food. Not to replace it suddenly if you don’t feel comfortable with it, but to start diversifying your eating habits and in time I guess, you will totally replace it.

That’s my conviction.

Also, another thing that I have observed, beside having a bad eating habit, people don’t sleep enough or sleep bad. Personally I like to sleep well, I have a large and comfortable queen sized mattress that gives me all the comfort I need. So after a healthy meal, I always try to take a nap. OK, this is not always possible, but still, I do my best.

Another one would be to love sports, practicing, hiking, etc. I like to ride horses for example, I have an endurance saddle pad that keeps me fit and not tired at all after a full riding session. But the first is eating healthy!

Buying food items in cans lack in nutrition and are usually loaded with salt and preservatives in today’s food markets. The process of freshness goes from fresh fruits and vegetables, to frozen foods, and down to canned foods. Last on the list, these canned items are slowly becoming a thing of the past.

When the canned foods go through the cooking process, this heating process destroys about one-third to one-half of the vitamins A and C, riboflavin and thiamin. And then the sit on the shelves as they are stored, losing an additional 5% to 20% . But the remaining vitamins only decrease their values slightly.

A lot of produce when picked for harvest will begin to lose some of its nutrients. If it is handled properly and canned quickly, it can be more than or as nutritious as fresh fruit or vegetable. This fresh produce will lose half or more of its vitamins with the first two weeks: but if not kept chilled or preserved, the fresh vegetable or fruit will lose nearly half of its vitamins within the first few days. The average consumer is advised to eat a variety of food types each day as compared to only one type of food.

The thing to remember is everything depends on the time between the harvesting and the canning and freeing process. Generally, the vegetables are picked immediately and taken to canning or freezing divisions when their nutrient contact is at its peak. How the food is canned affects the nutrient value also. Vegetables boiled for longer than necessary and in large amounts of water lose much of their nutritional value as compared to those only lightly steamed.

When we pick fresh vegetables or fruit at the farm, they are always more nutritious than canned or frozen – this is a fact. If you cannot buy fresh, at least buy frozen.

Every day I look around me and see how people damage their bodies eating bad food and drinking a lot of carbonated sodas. All these are not good for their bodies in any way, but seems that people don’t give a damn. It is interesting that even when you tell them about it in the face, they laugh and keep on drinking and eating what they usually drink and eat.

And if you think about it, it is that easy to change your eating habits, it is that easy to learn how to eat healthy, all you need to do is to pay a bit of attention to where the food came from: is it coming from the nature? Or is it an artificially created product, synthetic food or drink?

You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to figure out that chemicals don’t do good to your body, because we are in the end a big chemical process and every product that we put inside our body, soda, water, food, influence how our body behaves.

It is that easy, but unfortunately people don’t listen…
