BALANCING YOUR DIET

God Bless You Dear Readers.

The need for a balanced diet can not be overemphasized, especially as,
this will protect you from health conditions such as depression,
stress, anxiety, mental health disorders such as alzheimer's disease,
the risk of suicide in young people, etc. A person diagnosed with
mental health problem who is eating well can become well again.

A balanced diet is one that will give you all the nutrients or
nourishment you need such as -

Carbohydrates e.g. rice, corn, potatoes, yam, bread, starch, garri, etc.

Proteins e.g. beans, meat, fish, milk, eggs, dairy foods, such as
cheese, and yoghurt, which contains calcium for healthy bones, etc.
Avoid fats in meat and poultry, in order to cut down on fat intake.

Fibre e.g. nuts (which is high in saturated fats so eat less),
potatoes, legumes, etc.

Fats e.g. Saturated fats from meat fat, pork fat, margarine, cakes,
pies, which is not good for daily consumption, as it raises
cholesterol level, causing cardiovascular disease, and may increase
the risk of type 2 diabetes; and Unsaturated fats from avocados,
vegetable oil, olive oil, fish (which provides omega 3 oil).
Unsaturated fats improve blood cholesterol levels and decrease the
risk of heart disease.

Vitamins and Minerals e.g. fruits and vegetables. Eat very fresh
ones. You can also get Vitamins and Minerals from Tianshi Supplements
when you take them regularly. Other sources of Minerals are fish and
dairy foods.

Water - Sufficient intake of water keeps your skin supple and healthy.
Also, it boosts energy, flushes out toxins and waste from the body,
helping to maintain your immune system.

Fat and Sugar - Eat less of these. They are good sources of energy,
but too much of Fat and Sugar means consuming more energy than you
burn, and so you put on weight or become obese. Obesity causes
hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, etc. Therefore as much as
possible maintain an average weight.

Please eat more often, home-made meals as this will ensure a healthy
and balanced diet. In addition take Tianshi Products to supplement
your feeding. This will protect you from ailments, keeping you always
strong and healthy.

Remain Blessed.
