The Top 3 Keys to a Healthy Meal

[Louis Lee]

If you want your meals to be healthy all you need to do is to choose
the right ingredients. There are foods and food groups that we should
consume a lot of, others that we should eat not so much of and again
others we should really keep to a minimum. If you stick to these
recommendations, your meals will be healthy. 
Key 1: Loads of cereals, fruit and vegetables
The first thing to make certain is that your meal includes a portion
of cereals (be it now wheat, rice, corn or others) or cereal products
like pasta or bread. They will keep you full for longer than sugar
based foods, because their carbohydrates are absorbed slower and over
a longer period. Especially whole wheat products are excellent because
they are even more nutritious, high in fiber and fill you much
quicker. The effect is that you simply eat less.
Your meal also needs to offer a big portion of vegetables and/ or
fruit. These are the healthiest foods we can find, packed with highly
important vitamins, minerals and fiber. Most of them contain only
little fat and rather the healthy fats. You can barely eat too much of
these foods.
Key 2: Animal products, legumen and nuts - in moderation
The second key to a healthy meal is to use meat, fish, poultry, milk
products, legumen, nuts and eggs - but all in moderation. Make them an
addition to your meal, not the main ingredient. We do need these
foods, but we don't need so much of them. They also contain important
vitamins and are an excellent source for proteins as animal proteins
are much more similar to what our body needs then vegetable proteins.
But they also contain quite a bit of fat, and unfortunately that kind
of fat is not as healthy as the fat in vegetables. If you overeat
these foods, the fat you consume too much will make you pick up weight
and can also have other negative impacts on your health. Don't worry,
even if you just eat little of them, you will still get enough
proteins.
Key 3: Sweeteners, fat and luxuries - as little as possible
Thirdly, you should use as little as possible sweeteners and added fat
like oil in your meal. Also keep alcohol, coffee and black tea at a
minimum. You don't need these, and consumed in high amounts they will
be rather harmful for your body. Every now and then a glass of wine is
okay, but not a whole bottle with each meal.
As you can see, preparing a healthy meal is not at all difficult. And
this kind of eating can be so delicious you won't miss your
"unhealthy" meals at the end of the day.
