Maintaining a Healthy Eating Plate

by Mbogo Lawrence,






A healthy eating plate is essential for everyone wishing to enjoy good health every day. A balanced diet always serves as a ticket for a long life with fewer body complaints, especially in combination with body exercises. A couple of these actions lead one to build a physically strong body out of a carcass.


Assume with me that making most of your meals vegetables and fruits or rather half of your plate can do wonders. Consumption of vegetables like cabbages, greens among others should be your habit. Remember that potatoes don't count as vegetables on the healthy eating plate because of their negative impact on blood sugar therefore minimizing their consumption should be of priority.

Go for whole grains which should decorate a quarter of your plate. Whole and intact grains like whole barley, wheat, berries, brown rice, and oats, and foods made with them such as wheat pasta have milder effects on blood sugar and insulin than white bread, white rice, and other refined grains.


Not forgetting about protein power which should take a quarter of your plate, poultry, fish, and beans are all healthy, versatile protein sources that can mix and pair well with vegetables on your plate. Avoidance of red meat as well as processed meats such as bacon and sausages should be conceived.


Drinking a lot of water, coffee, or even tea detaching from sugary drinks, limiting milk and dairy products to one or two servings per day, and limiting juice consumption to a small glass per day can save a drowning man. The Healthy Plate advises consumers to avoid sugary beverages for their well-known sources of calories usually with little nutritional value in the American diet.
