Healthy Food – Three Food Groups

Have you read some of the food labels from your local supermarket today? Some of these labels are downright deceitful. A can of yogurt can be labeled “low-fat” when it contains tones of sugar, and so can “energy drinks” be just 90% sugar water. The consumption of all these foods sum up to where the majority of where the average American citizen is now: Overweight.

Healthy Food

Its time to boycott these food labels and really make good food choices by yourself. If you want to maintain a healthy lifestyle and a healthy weight, try consuming these three kinds of healthy foods:

1. Whole Grains: There are several choices you can choose from in this category. This category of healthy food is perfect for the weight watcher, because you can really use this to fill your stomach, and yet not put on a lot of pounds. Grains like oatmeal, rye and barley contains so much fiber in them that most of the time, you body simply passes them out.

2. Fresh Fruits: Most fruits are packed full with great nutrients and vitamins. When your body is fed with great nutrients and vitamins, it does not crave for those “sinful” foods! In fact, fruits can be used as a total meal replacer on days that you don’t want to cook – using carbohydrate rich fruits like bananas and mangoes, or be used as a dessert (remember to leave time between your main meal and fruits) after your meal. High fiber foods like papayas, apples and pears can also be used as snacks!

3. Low Carbohydrate Vegetables: Contrary to popular belief, some types of vegetables might be misleading. For example, stuff like corn and potatoes are just packed with unhealthy carbohydrates and should really be taken in moderation. When choosing vegetables, a great guideline to stick to is this: go for something that is green and leafy, like spinach or lettuce. These vegetables not only make great ingredients as part of a quick stir fried or steamed dish, but can also be great for salads as well.

Of course, diet is just one part of the healthy weight loss plan. The other main component is your regular exercise. If you keep 80% of your meals to these three fruit groups and do some form of regular exercise everyday, coupled with sufficient fresh water and sleep, you can be assured that your pounds will come off the scales quickly! Start today!

Abstract: The paper will consider the particular challenges raised for the international human rights system by the 'war on terror' declared in the wake of the events of 11 September 2001. 

 

Taking an international focus, it will argue that a human rights framework is critical for the success of such an enterprise and will examine the practical and legal implications of acting otherwise.
