I use to live away from my house..and I never take serious note on what I'm eating but I use to read everywhere that one should eat healthy food... I just want to know whether people really notice what they are eating ? I mean does it really matter.. healthy and unhealthy food..even if they are hungry and have no other option ??

Hello eight months after here I am I hope this can answer your question, these are some good advises that can help you to eat healthy. Maybe you already know that the pyramid of healthy eating have change so here is the update. Choose good carbs, not no carbs. Whole grains are your best bet. Pay attention to the protein package. Fish, poultry, nuts, and beans are the best choices. Choose healthy fats, limit saturated fat, and avoid trans fat. Plant oils, nuts, and fish are the healthiest sources. Choose a fiber-filled diet, rich in whole grains, vegetables, and fruits. Eat more vegetables and fruits. Go for color and variety—dark green, yellow, orange, and red. Calcium is important. But milk isn't the only, or even best, source. Water is best to quench your thirst. Skip the sugary drinks, and go easy on the milk and juice. Eating less salt is good for everyone's health. Choose more fresh foods and fewer processed foods. Moderate drinking can be healthy—but not for everyone. You must weigh the benefits and risks. A daily multivitamin is a great nutrition insurance policy. Some extra vitamin D may add an extra health boost.
