Eating healthy has been one of the most important issues of our century. If years go people didn’t pay much attention to what they ate because most products were natural, nowadays the situation has changed dramatically

In a constantly polluted environment the need to stay healthy and lead a healthy life style has rapidly increased among the population. People are more and more concerned about their health and about the food they eat. Nothing is really natural anymore, we cannot trust food labels and more and more products are based on artificial ingredients.

The percentage of over-weight adults, as well as children, has gone off the roof in the last years. People feed themselves to junk and unhealthy food just because it tastes better than health food and because junk food comes ready prepared. More and more people are dying from heart attacks which are strongly and directly connected to the food we eat. It is also said that cancer is influenced by our eating habits and by certain artificial ingredients that are added to food in order to look and taste better.

And this might be true, considering that cherry diets are recommended and used by specialists with the treatment of cancer patients. There are a lot of benefits that come with eating healthy. We will enumerate only 3 of them, but remember, their number is much higher.

By eating healthy, you will be able to maintain and control your body weight. In an age of obesity and over-weightiness, this is quite an accomplishment. Your body will not be submitted to the constant fluctuation of weight change. The mental factor will be a big bonus because you will feel good about yourself and you will pass that on to others. Combined with daily exercise a healthy diet can make you look younger which is also an issue nowadays.


Maybe the most important benefit of eating healthy would be the fact that a healthy diet will definitely protect you against all sort of diseases. You will have a healthy heart and a healthy stomach. They are the organs and body parts that are mostly affected by the artificial ingredients added to our daily food.

Eating healthy is like a shield against diabetes, heart diseases and even cancer. Your bodily functions will be much improved as well as your immunity if you are consuming fruits, vegetables and grains on a daily basis. Eating healthy will help you sleep better, which is very important since sleep is a significant element in our health.

Fruits, vegetables, grain, milk contain a lot of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals which will increase your energy level and make you feel better all day long. You will be able to live a longer and healthier life. Your longevity will be proof to that.

I hope these 3 benefits of eating healthy are argument enough for you to start improving your eating habits.

This is a debate that has been going on for some time now. Is chocolate bad for your health? Some of you will give a quick and prompt reply: no. These are probably the chocolate junkies that cannot admit that something that tastes so good and is so comforting, can cause any harm to one’s health.

Now come on! Who provides comfort after a painful break up and melts in your mouth making you forget all about your cheating ex-boyfriend? Is it not the unhealthy chocolate? Then how can something so good for you, be in fact bad? Chocolate represents women´s favorite ¨ comfort food¨.


On the other side we will find the chocolate challengers, who just as quick as chocolate junkies will enumerate at least five of the threats represented by chocolate: obesity, headaches, heart problems, lower bone density, jumpiness, bad teeth and so on. The truth is in fact somewhere between the middle, with the balance more inclined to the chocolate challengers.

It mostly depends on the quantity and type of chocolate we eat and on our ability to stop at a certain point. Chocolate does not creat physical addiction, it is more the fact that you get attached to the good feeling it provides while eating it.

Chocolate contains sugar. If consumed in excess, it will lead to obesity or overweight. So the problem with obesity is not really chocolate, but the amount of chocolate we eat .An over-weight person once complained that chocolate hurts his joints. I would be more inclined to argue that it was really the over-weight factor that hurt his joints and not chocolate. In the old days, chocolate was considered a delicacy and it was very hard to obtain. Thus, when acquired, it was served only on special days and by squares.

Nobody ate a whole bar of chocolate, just one or maybe two squares. Nowadays, chocolate bars are on the top first shell of supermarkets and local stores. Their positioning represents good drug pushers. So, the conclusion is that indeed, if consumed in excess, chocolate can be very bad to your health causing obesity and from that all kind of other health problems.


Chocolate also contains caffeine which seems to put your body into stress and represents an aging drug. Muscle testing and kinesiology show that many health problems are partly caused by toxins from chocolate. It can also cause lower bone density and can trigger headaches in migraine sufferers.

There is however a chocolate that specialists agreed upon being quite good for one´s health. That is dark chocolate that contains antioxidants which are good for your health. Also, cacao, the source of chocolate, contains antibacterial agents against tooth decay. Chocolate increases antioxidant levels in the blood and contains phenyl ethylamine, which is a mild mood elevator.

So, whether chocolate is bad for your health or not, is actually up to you. You decide if you want to stay healthy and enjoy a delicacy once in a while or became an emotional junkie and damage your health.

It is very easy to keep a healthy diet, and the benefits of healthy eating are obvious and very easy to measure, even in the centimeters you are going to lose after a few month of “diet”.

This does not mean that you have to starve or eat only one meal a day, it mainly refers to the fact that you have to try and replace the unhealthy food that you eat with other products that will help you remain healthy and fit for a long period of time. There are a few rules that can help you get used to the concept of healthy eating. They say you have to eat as if you were a tourist in Greece and adopt part of the Greek food style which is very healthy and not very rich in calories or hard to digest.

The inhabitants of these countries cook their traditional dishes from fish, goat meat, lamb, a lot of fruits and vegetables, olive oil, different sorts of cheese and yogurt. You have to try and adopt the menu of one country that is situated by the sea side because they all respect the same rules: light dishes that are low in calories and mostly made from vegetables and sea food.


The point is that food does not have to be over processed because it will lose its properties, its contents f antioxidants, vitamins and fibers. If you want to gain the same amount of nutrients from the processed food you will have to eat at least twice as much, and that means that the calories from your plate will double their amount, too. Read the label on the back of the box or the can that you buy from the supermarket because there is the true recipe of your future meal, and the list of additives that it contains. The front label is just marketing and nothing more.


Try and replace the sweet snacks from your menu with fresh fruits. If you do not have access to fresh fruits replace them with frosted ones which have the same properties and are far better for your health than the chocolate cake you are very fond of. Pay attention, there is no trace of fruit in the “fruit flavors”. Natural flavors are called natural because they contain some natural bacteria is the ingredient that transforms some chemical substances in flavors, so there is nothing natural in their composition.


Avoid dehydrated food and soups which are very bad for your health, any product that can be eaten after you get it out from the bag and put it for a few minutes in the microwave will be redrawn from the market until 2015.


If you stick to these simple rules the benefits of healthy eating will not linger to appear.

There were times when people were very healthy although they could not enjoy all the comfort that we have nowadays and not even all the means of information, of technology, of acknowledge, but they lived in simple manner and they took much more care of themselves although work in that period of times was hard and was much established on physical exercises than mental work but they were happy and healthy .

Nowadays we have far more means for better standard of life but it seems that we have forgotten how to live and how to be some healthy people . Being healthy has very many implications and it does not resume only to the part of what you eat and if you are healthy or you have a certain affection or disease . Healthy means much more than this .

We have forgotten to live, to be people because we too concerned on the material things, on the comfort things, on money and how we can have much and much money and how to obtain more and more favors and comforts for the material wellbeing not for the spiritual one .

And besides we say we eat much more things, we can go to much more places, we have big houses, cars and other things we no longer find time for simple things that are extremely healthy for the general health of people . We do not longer cook our food at home, we no longer want to have fresh aliments in our diet, we only want to try the new products that are available on the market, we want to try all the fast foods that are everywhere , we want to experience all the new stuffs that before did not exist but in this way we fill our body with so many unhealthy substances that can bring us many complications and affections of different organs or functions of the body .

We have the money and the places where we can go and practice sport but we do not find the time for doing such things in stead we always find time for staying extra at the office or for going out somewhere where we can eat something totally fast food or junk food . We do not see that we confront ourselves daily with may problems and bad factors as pollution, smoke, stress, problems at work, too many agitation all over the places and especially in the traffic and we do not see that we can no longer be healthy people if we do not take care of all these things .

It does not help us with many things the fact that we work, so much, that we have the money to afford many products, to go to many places, to get all the things that were not possible before when we were small and raised by our parents ; it would help us much more if we took care of ourselves and if we did not expose our body to so many bad factors .

For maintaining and having normal erectile functions, man have to assure a continuous flow of the blood to the penis because only in this way it can work properly ; this fact can be realized by taking care also the veins and arteries that are responsible and that can supply the penis with blood . In order to assure this thing , men have to have a high fiber diet and to eat many foods of this type, to consume many low in saturated fats aliments because so they can prevent or have lower lvels of fatty deposits that could harm the arteries .
