MAKING GOOD FOOD CHOICES #1.

Balance

Choosing healthy can be confusing, with the jungle voices and advice on offer. My definition of eating well is really simple: eat with variety and in moderation – it’s the best health insurance you can invest in. 

I’m a big fan of light food, and it’s clear that in the industrialised world people are generally over-saturated with calories, which is causing an alarming rise in obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. 

Both under- and over-eating saps our energy. Naturally, we need to eat more when we are physically active and less when we are not. A healthy weight is a long-term project – quick fixes and diets are often working against us. 

Having a health-conscious attitude about eating is good, but be wary of developing fixations and unhealthy relationships with food – it should be enjoyed without guilt. It’s better to be relaxed about it and have the occasional treat if you want to, as long as you maintain a healthy balance.
