FiT Work 14: Healthy Eating

FiT Work #14- Healthy Eating

Due @ the end of the period

Next to air, water is the most important substance necessary for our survival. We can live with hardly any food for two or more months, but we can only survive a few days without water! Water serves many functions in the body like digesting food, carrying nutrients through the blood to our cells, controlling body temperature, and helping joints move and keeping our lungs moist. You need to drink enough water each day to stay properly hydrated, and more than normal if you exercise, are overweight, are elderly, or live in a hot climate.

It is also important to eat well balanced meals to be sure you are getting enough protein, carbohydrates, and low fat food to fulfill your energy needs and avoid malnutrition. There are many vitamins and minerals that are considered essential and which can come from eating a variety of foods from each food group including dairy, fruit, vegetables, grains, as well as poultry, meat, nuts, or soy. Foods and snacks that are high in salt, sugar, and high fat foods should be avoided because eating too much of these can lead to health problems associated with being overweight.
