Publisher's Synopsis
Usually, when we think of food, the first thing that comes in our mind is how to get it ready for consumption. Of course just to reduce hunger or starvation or to appease our appetites. But do we ever stop to think whether all foods are suitable for us? Do we also take caution on how much food we ought to take in everyday? There are distinct types of foods such as carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and water. Well, they are all meant for the good of our bodies but most importantly, we must take note of how much of these foods we consume. Have you ever wondered what social-economic and health effects are associated with unhealthy eating and being overweight? Gaining a few pounds in a year may not seem to be problematic. But an uncontrolled accumulation of pounds over time can lead to detrimental health and social-economic effects. Unhealthy eating can cause various health problems including obesity, cardiovascular diseases, fatty liver disease, high blood pressure, osteoarthritis, and even sleep apnea. This diet guide is your answer to fully understanding how to fuel your body. Plus, there are more than 180 recipes included (breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks) that are tasty and nutritious.
