to begin with, it’s important to know that healthy eating is completely different from dieting. Healthy eating is not simply about losing weight, or reaching ‘ideal’ body shape. It does not involve totally avoiding food, or surviving on
the celebrity fad diet. Healthy eating is, fundamentally, about balance.Balance means balancing between eating the food you enjoy, and not eating too much of it. ‘Dieting’ is
short-term, whereas healthy eating is something that can be continued throughout your life.
HAVING A HEALTHY ATTITUDE TOWARDS DIET
A balanced diet is one that provides the body with all
the essential nutrients, vitamins and minerals required to
maintain cells, tissues and organs as well as to function
correctly.
A balanced diet comprise of:
1. Fruits and vegetables
2. Food that contain starch and fibre ex. Oats, brown
rice, potatoes, bread etc.
3. Protein rich foods such as eggs, fish, meat , beans etc
4. Milk and dairy products like paneer, curd etc.
5. Food that contain good fats (in proportion) like
butter, ghee, olive oil, etc.
When it comes to a healthy diet, balance is the key to
getting it right. This means eating a wide variety of foods
in the right proportions, and consuming the right amount
of food and drink to achieve and maintain a healthy body
weight.

EAT “TRENDY”
which is current and we call it being trendy. The same
manner EAT TRENDY. Eat whatever is fresh ie. which
is seasonal. Eat spinach, Cabbage, Coriander leaves, Cauliflower etc in winters and Egg plant, cucumber, pepper, toriya, gourd etc during summers. Also it is important that we eat locally produced food as much as we can. Ayurveda recommends tweaking our food habits according to the seasons. Also we all must have noticed that the seasonal veggies/fruits tastes much better than the once stored in the cold storage. One more thing to keep in mind - THINK GLOBAL, EAT LOCAL. It implies that the next time you visit LADAKH, try THUKPA and MOMOS because the weather is dry, windy and cold. Similarly SARSON KA SAAG with MAKAI ROTI will be ideal when you are in Chandigarh. But if you experiment the same diet frequently in Kolkata, you will surely gain fat.
ABCD OF HEALTHY EATING
EATING AS PER ACTIVITIES
Always fine tune your eating with your activity. The more hectic day you are going to spend the better you should eat. There should be a fine tuning between activity and eating.
As the sunrises, the body’s metabolic rate gets faster. We can simplify this as in the morning if we sit and read a book our body will burn more calories rather than in the sunset. It goes without saying that we should eat full in the morning and less with the setting sun.
We get fat and unhealthy because we become careless about the stomach and its necessities. It is important that we set our minds in a way that suits our body too. If we eat a lot during hoildays, then we will end up accumulating fat.
