Good Food Good Health
Much has been said about
the importance of good food. Good
food is the key to good health. ‘Health is wealth’ is a famous proverb’. If
so what is good food? The answer is simple, food that’s good for
health. There is no perfect, clean definition because none of the
definitions can be generalized to all the people of the world. For example,
milk is called wholesome food but some people could be allergic to milk.
Always follow the treatises with the right context. By good food, we mean highly nutritious, good for the environment, low climate impact, and good for the
economy by local producers.
Importance of Balanced Diet
A balanced diet having
carbohydrates, proteins, fats, minerals, vitamins, salt, and water in the right
proportion, no chemical content, no additives, prepared fresh and served hot
can be termed as good food.
Regarding our eating habits, there are two opinions. Some of them are on the
side of vegetarianism and others are on the side of non-vegetarianism. Those who
advocate non-vegetarianism say protein is essential for growth and resistance
power and animal protein is a must in their diet. On the other hand,
vegetarians say fruits, vegetables, pulses, and grains are sufficient for a
human being for a healthy life. They are also good for digestion. Another point
is that our teeth and digestive system are meant only to eat vegetarian food
and no non-veg food.
Role of Good Digestion
Good digestion strength is
also important for good health. If a person has poor digestion strength, the
nutrients will neither be absorbed nor distributed to the body parts. To have perfect body nutrition, good food,
good digestion, and a disciplined lifestyle are to be followed. A disciplined
lifestyle means the right amount of sleep, the right amount of exercise,
meditation, having good mental health all contribute to a healthy body. Fresh
fruits and vegetables are good for all. Avoid junk food and deep-fried items.
Drink plenty of water. Eat only when you feel hungry and don’t waste food.
