Eating defines many aspects of our health status. That is why you hear of so many catchphrases associated with food. ‘You are what you eat’ is one such common phrase. In its simplest interpretation, it implies a negative association of poor eating habits with health.
The selection of healthy foods is a no-brainer. It simply means eating lean animal proteins, fruits, vegetables and complex carbohydrates. One should limit the intake of processed foods, refined flours and sugar. But it’s not just the choice of foods, the amount you eat every day matters.
