Nutrition and Fitness!!!

Nutrition and  Fitness

You've all heard that regular exercise and a healthy diet are part of staying fit, it seems that the idea of fitness nutrition is, more often than not, subordinate to exercise. What does this mean? There seems to be the mistaken notion that it's okay to eat anything as long as you burn it off afterwards.  This is one of the biggest lies where fitness nutrition is concerned.
The aim of fitness nutrition is to give your body the nutrients it needs to stay strong, fit, healthy and energized throughout the day.We all need to eat good food = raw fruits and vegetables, the body loves this kind of nutrition. Eating for health requires that you eat all food groups.  Well, food groupings haven't changed much. You still need your proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals. You need to feed your body with  fruits, vegetables, fish, lean meat, dairy, whole grains and cereals. This means going natural with your food choices as well.
 Eat in moderation and at the right times. Too much of anything is bad, so don't get too caught up in the high-protein low-carb diets. Eating healthy is eating the right amounts from all food groups in small portions five to six times a day. Never skip breakfast, this is the most important meal of the day. If you don't eat, you're starving your body and preparing it to snack on more sugar-rich and unhealthy junk later in the day.
What if you do feel the need to snack during the day? Opt for fresh fruits like bananas, pears or apples, they're full of fiber, vitamins and minerals. Yogurt is also a good alternative it is rich in calcium and protein, it also has live Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria that's good for the digestive system as well.

Fitness nutrition also means minding how you eat,. chewing your food well and taking the time to enjoy your meal for at least 20 minutes, eating when you're hungry, not because you're stressed or emotionally upset. It's stopping when you're already full. Finally, eating for health also means learning healthier ways of preparing foods. You need to learn how to cook foods through steaming and stir-frying instead of deep frying them. It also means stocking your pantry with healthful foods.
Eat healthy. Live healthy. This is the real essence of fitness nutrition.
