What Food Does for Your Body

By Sienna Nalin


We are what we eat so we must eat well if we want to live a long healthy life. Our physical health has a lot to do with our mental health and vice versa, so by changing how we eat all these things are tackled in one and we will start to feel better about ourselves overall.

Eating right is the cornerstone to a healthy lifestyle. There are many factors we can't control in regard to health -- hereditary conditions, environmental concerns -- but we can control what we eat, which can help us fight disease, encourage healthy metabolism and more.

In this article, we'll discuss the importance of nutrition, how protein and fat fit into the picture, how to reduce fat and more. You'll learn about vitamin and mineral supplements, special needs diets and how important drinking water is. We'll cover:

Water is essential to life. Every part of your body relies on it. Your blood, for example, is more than three-quarters water. Other body fluids, like saliva and digestive juices, are based on water. Almost every chemical reaction in the body takes place in a water medium and you couldn't get rid of body wastes without it.

Vitamins are a key part of our health. They are in our foods, you can get them from the sun and you can also just by a bottle of vitamins. Our body needs vitamins for certain functions and to better certain operations that our bodies do such as the beta carotene in carrots helps better out eye sight, and biotin helps out metabolism and many other things.

Supplements may not be as good as getting the necessary nutrients from food, but they are the next best things. To better a diet you should add some supplements to kick start weight loss and add protein to your diet. Just remember to work out.

Food labels are sometimes difficult to read, but when you know what exactly you are looking for when it comes to cutting something out of your diet or counting calories, things get easier. You can also help yourself out by choosing wise decisions when it comes to what to eat and how you cook.
