Eating Healthy?

hi zoeJoy I try to b ut asI a ms living in a retirement center I am at the mercy of what the kitchen staff feeds us. we do get a lot of veggie soup which is good and a lot of carrots which must be cheap and corn also cheap I guess b ut as I have diverticulitis I cannot eat corn. anyway its not that nutritious in my eyes.we get lots of broccoli which is good and bad depending on how long they cook it cooked too long it turns bitter, sometimes if its crisp its really good.wedo getfruit once a day.

I used to eat alot of vegetable in every meal. I advice my wife to prepare food which is rich in vegetables not only meat. Sometimes my instructions not followed because she is pregnant and most of the time she is lazy to cook our meal. She asked my younger brother to do simple menu.

My way of getting my fruits and veggies is to drink them. I make what the call a nutriblast, and they are so good. what I do is use the nutribullet, which pulverizes the fruits and veggies, and liquifies them. Of course I have to add water to the cup, screw on the blade, and put it on the machine and let it do is work. It is amazing how it pulverizes them as I like to watch them being liquified. I make mine thicker as I like it that way, and it is because of the banana that I add to it which thickens it and also sweetens it up some. I am getting all the nutrients and not losing anything, as I don't throw anything out. The nutribullet is the vest investment I made for my health. Take care, and have a good day.

You only eat raw food? Since I am really interested in that although I don't think I am able to eat that way already day in and out all seasons (it's freezing over here). For breakfast (never had one) we have fruit, sometimes also a smoothie (although I kind of doubt if that is still healthy but I want my daughter to eat fruit as well which she never did. This morning I gave her apple, grapes and orange to "discover"). We skipped all the flour/bread/pasta etc out of our menu (although 2 of my daughters still get it once in a while, my son and I not we have the most allergies of the family). We all eat rice-toast. Once in a while we have cheese or egg or some meat. We do eat once in a while potatoes bur more frequently rice. We eat mainly green vegetables but also some carrots. No pasta anymore, no beans, no cookies, chocolate, candies, soda, coffee or milk. Once in a while some yoghurt, mainly we drink water, white or green tea. I try to keep as much toxics out of our food but must say it's hard over here to buy enough fruit/vegetables for the whole family. It's kind of expensive, I need about 50 pieces fruit for 1 week.

My son and I usually eat fruits. We also eat rice but not much. I like to try salad for meal. It seems healthy. Thanks for this.

Hi ZoeJoy, Its not just trying to eat healthy,i must eat healthy foods because i'am suffering from hypertension caused by heart desease.In the morning, a cup of oats and a cup of mild cofee with cream not milk because i'am refraining from dairies.Dairies is the sourse of streptococcus bacteria causing me rheumatic fever. And for lunch....a cup of rice,little intake of any viand prefferably veggie. For dinner....a very light dinner like salad and sometimes i dont eat dinner.I practice after 6 diet.

I usually have an apple and orange every day, but sometimes my veggie intake only consists of potato chips.

I am trying to eat a bit healthier. LIke not so much processed food..more making potatoes from scratch or eating more salads....which I love by the way! I also love veggies.....just love them.

Just like you, I try to eat fruits and vegetables as often as I can. I have also tried cutting down on my rice intake. That is really what makes me "big". I am hopeful that I could lose some weight.

I'm not the healthiest eater in the world, but I eat fruit every day, and I try to drink only water and teas.

i tried to eat healthy but i dont have self discipline.

I always try to eat healthy. When snacking I try to go for fruits and veggies that I can munch on instead of pastries and coffee. I also try to prepare most meals from scratch rather than opening cans and boxes of pre-made soups and sauces and sides. I also make sure I have tea and juices and water instead of pop.

I love veggies and fruits too. I eat more fiber and less red meat. White meat is good but some kind of fish is only allowed because of my allergy.

Sometimes depending on my appetite, if I feel eating chocolates I'll eat chocolates, but I eat veggies and everything but not some uncooked food.
