    Eating Nutritious
    Food

    1. Greatly improves your overall


    health.

    The nutrients in the food you eat support the


    activities of day-to-day living. As an example:
    Protein: Rebuilds injured tissues and
    promotes a healthy immune system.
    Carbohydrates and Fats: Fuels your body
    Calcium and Phosphorus: Keep your bones
    strong.
    Without a healthy diet of nutritious food, you
    might compromise some essential functions.

    Eating a balanced, calorie-managed diet such as a diet full of fruits,


    vegetables and whole grains can help you lose, maintain or more
    importantly control your weight.

    3. Prevents Diseases
    Obesity

    ar (heart)

    Consuming foods from a wide variety of sources helps ensure your body
    has the nutrients it needs to avoid these health problems.

    B) Ways To Practice
    Good Eating Habits
    1. Eat your meals regularly
    Some people who are trying to lose
    weight practice the diet habit of skipping
    meals. This is actually not a good idea. By
    skipping your meals, you can be hungrier
    and eat more for your next meal. As an
    example, if you skip breakfast, you will
    eat more for lunch. Then, you will be less
    hungry during dinner and eat less , which
    will make you hungry at night.

    2. Do not eat late at night


    Eating late at night before
    sleeping will not allow you to
    burn the calories that you took
    in. You can eat more during the
    daytime as you do activities that
    will help you eliminate the fat. If
    you are hungry after dinner, you
    should just have a small snack
    and remember not to sleep as
    soon as you finish eating.

    3.Eat a variety of foods.


    To have a good meal means having the right balance
    of nutrient rich foods because provide all the single
    food can provide all of the nutrients the body needs.
    Therefore, it is important to have a combination of
    different food types in each meal. Some of the
    essential foods that you have to heat are grain
    products, fruits, vegetables, meat, dairy products and
    fish. You can ask the help of a nutritionist to help you
    with the correct portions to eat based on your weight
    and height.

    contains complex carbohydrates and protein.

    calories at breakfast. If not, you wont get
    enough energy to boost your metabolism.

    some time out. This will give you a mental
    break as well as allowing time for digestion
    and absorption of essential minerals.

    D) Distribution Of Food To The Needy


    1. Conducting food fairs for the unfortunate
    group.
    As a result, they dont end up roaming around the streets
    finding food.

    2. Providing subsidy for selected food


    like rice, flour and milk
    The burden of the needy will be minimized by the assistance of the
    government.

    food as they could have their meals for free or at cheaper prices.

    E) Eating Habits Conform To


    Cultural Practices And Religious
    Belief
    1. Introduction
    Since the beginning of time, dietary practices have
    been incorporated into the religious practices of
    people around the world. Some religious sects
    abstain, or are forbidden, from consuming certain
    foods and drinks; others restrict foods and drinks
    during their holy days; while others still associate
    dietary and food preparation practices withritualsof
    the faith.

    Hinduism

    3. Buddhism
    Many Buddhists are vegetarians,
    though some include fish in their
    diet. Most do not eat meat and
    abstain from all beef products. The
    birth, enlightenment, and death of
    Buddha are the three most
    commonly recognized festivals for
    feasting, resting from work, or
    fasting.
    Buddhist
    monks
    fast
    completely on certain days of the
    moon, and they routinely avoid
    eating any solid foods after the
    noon hour.

    4. Islam
    To the Muslims, eating is a matter of faith for those who
    follow the dietary laws calledHalal,a term for all
    permitted foods. Those foods that are prohibited, such as
    pork and birds of prey, are known asHaram,while the
    foods that are questionable for consumption are known
    asMashbooh.Muslims eat to preserve their good health,
    and overindulgence or the uses of stimulants such as
    tea, coffee, or alcohol are discouraged. Fasting is
    practiced regularly on Mondays and Thursdays, and more
    often for six days during Shawwal (the tenth month of
    the Islamic year) and for the entire month of Ramadan
    (the ninth month). Fasting on these occasions includes
    abstention from all food and drink from sunrise to sunset.

    5. Hinduism
    Hindus do not consume any foods that might slow
    down spiritual or physical growth. The eating of
    meat is not prohibited, but pork, fowl, ducks,
    snails, crabs, and camels are avoided. The cow is
    sacred to Hindus. Many Hindus are strict
    vegetarians. Those who do eat meat are forbidden
    from eating beef, because cows occupy a sacred
    place in the Hindu religion and therefore no beef is
    consumed. Other products from the cow, however,
    such as milk, yogurt, and butter are considered
    innately pure and are thought to promote purity of
    the mind, spirit, and body.
