Every day, we are bombarded with advertisements and marketing messaging telling us how to have a healthy diet simply by buying this new product or that new food delivery service. But even though we all know that these messages are paid promotions by companies pushing their particular products, it’s nevertheless not always easy to sort out the good from the bad – the genuinely healthy from the downright dangerous.
So, what’s the answer? The key to making choices that are in your personal best interests and which will support your buying decisions when out shopping is to become as informed as you can about what it really means to eat a healthy diet – one that will underpin your commitment to your own personal wellbeing.
The fact that you are reading this newsletter shows that you are already of a mind to cut through the bad stuff and learn about what’s best for you. So, you are already halfway there!
A Healthy Diet Requires an Individual Response
Let’s now explore what we mean by a healthy diet, or more importantly, what is the best combination of diet and exercise for you. There is no one right answer to this, of course. Everyone is an individual and each individual has a particular set of circumstances that will determine the appropriate choices to achieve their health and wellbeing goals.
Perhaps of greater importance is the need to recognise that diet alone, even the perfect diet, will not achieve the ideal health and fitness outcomes for any individual. Of equal importance to our choice of the right kinds of foods for nutrition is the need to exercise and to move our bodies.
Diet and Exercise – the Essential Twosome.
As humans we were not destined to live a sedentary existence. Movement and exercise are essential to our very existence. Unfortunately, our modern lifestyle seems to have forgotten this. We often pretend that we live with daily exercise – after all, we walk the dog and run for the train. But this is not exercise. When lack of movement is combined with poor or inadequate nutrition, it inevitably leads to negative outcomes. Outcomes like excess weight, bulges and flabby bits, or worse still, puffing when doing simple daily things like lifting and carrying a bag of groceries, or dashing up the stairs.
You are not alone! Don’t try and do it all by yourself.
The good news is that you do not have to do it all yourself. We all know how hard it can be to get motivated when you don’t have a clear idea of what is your goal and what you need to be doing to ensure it happens for you.
