Being fit is nowaydays really trendy.  Its nothing wrong with eating healthy, practicing sport etc.  Even if  some people become healthy freaks.  They publish picture of their meal, outfit for running, or themselves at the gym.  We can not deny that for some it is important to show off in front of friends.  

Despite that I think that this new trend has many positive aspects.  People want to be more attractive and what is more to feel good with their body.  Today I want to shed some light on a question about healthy diet. For me the most important thing is to be aware of what you eat. human body needs a balanced, healthy eating plan to keep functioning properly. Eating a variety of foods can reduce the risk of getting conditions including heart disease, stroke, some cancers, diabetes and osteoporosis.

Below I want move to interesting facts about the nutrients in foods.

Do you know that…

Fruit and vegetables are one of our main sources of vitamins and minerals, which the body needs to perform a variety of functions well. For instance, vitamin A helps to strengthen our immune system, B vitamins help us process energy from food, vitamin D helps us maintain healthy teeth and bones, and vitamin C helps to keep cells and tissues healthy. The steamed carrots and broccoli will maintain a higher proportion of vitamins than boiled or fried vegetables. Fruit and vegetables (eaten with the skin on) also contain high amounts of fibre which help to maintain a healthy gut and digestive system.

Meat fish, eggs and pulses provide us with significant amounts of protein which is essentially a building block of the body. Everything from our hair, muscles, nerves, skin and nails needs protein to build and repair itself.

Fluids are also vital to help our bodies perform their functions effectively, and the best fluid of all is water. It's necessary to help our blood carry nutrients and waste around the body and to help the chemical reactions that occur in our cells.
