5 Keys to a Better Understanding of Nutrition

There is a big difference between the latest fad, or the opinion of the newest blogger, and a real strategy based on scientific research and proven to get results. Nutrition is no different. 

In taking on anything new, there are always questions. And when it comes to diets and eating, it’s hard to cut through all of the noise out there. The actual truth about nutrition, however, is that it’s fairly simple. 

REAL, EFFECTIVE NUTRITION FOCUSES ON ONLY FIVE THINGS: 

1. Balance 

You’re getting the right amount of the right things and limiting the things that can have a negative effect on your health. 

2. Calorie Control 

This isn’t about just reducing calories; it’s about making sure you have the right amount of calories throughout the day to keep your system working effectively. 

3. Moderation 

 You don’t take in an excess amount of those things that can have a negative impact on your health. 

4. Variety 

Ensure proper nutrition but also eliminate the monotony of a diet. Variety is the spice of life! 

5. Adequacy 

Make sure you’re getting all of the essential nutrients you need to maintain health and replace what is lost on a daily or weekly basis.
