What goes into your body has a lasting effect on how you will feel and even on the look your body will give. The nutritional facts on the back of any nutrition label start with the measurement of the serving size, then it describes the calories per serving with respect to the serving size described above, after that all the nutritional details are given describing all the nutrition in that diet with respect to its percentage.\n\nEat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables and eat five to six smaller meals periodically throughout the day. Include non-red-meat proteins to your diet frequently, such as chicken or turkey breast, fish, soy, beans, and lentils. Many times, the FDA allows them to advertise their food is trans fat free, even though it contains significant amounts of this deadly fat.\n\nAs a certified herbalist, and a student of this science for over 14 years, I have come to realize that eating healthy means eating foods that are rich in natural nutrients that come from planet earth to nourish our bodies. While proper nutrition may be hard to fit into one’s schedule and it may take effort and discipline, it is more than worth it for not only producing a beautiful smile, but also helping your body stay strong and healthy.\n\nA toddler or pre-school age child needs a wide variety of each of the four main food groups: Milk and dairy, meat, fish and poultry, fruit and vegetables and carbohydrates (bread, rice, pasta and potatoes). There is considerable debate among experts about what is the best ratio of protein, carbohydrates, and fat.\n\nAlthough there is a limit to how much glucose your liver and muscles can store, there is no limit for how much your body can store as fat. I tend to eat the majority of my carbohydrates in the morning or before a long run to give me the energy, but they are equally as important post exercise to help the body recover.
