My View On Nutrition

My view on nutrition has shifted throughout the years. As a child, I didn’t really pay attention to what I ate, since I weighed a relatively healthy amount. But as I got older, I noticed a lot more things. Ads especially, and how they’re targeted towards women and body images, as well as the latest diet fads that circulate throughout women; usually, it’s with women who are close to me or in my family. My mom and I eat generally small meals, and not a lot of junk food. On the other hand, my father and stepmom are all about healthy living. I have been exposed to gluten free diets, kosher diets, and vegan diets, as well as many different foods that adhere to different kinds of health fads. In the past few years, my view has been the same. I believe that no diet fad can work for the general population, since we all have different bodies, and we all have different needs. I believe that eating organic foods and having slim meal sizes can help maintain your figure. It’s always important to eat, no matter what the latest fad is. Starving yourself is never a healthy option. In my experience, eating basic foods and exercising have worked for me, and often times helped me lose weight; even if the weight loss was unintentional. Everyone is different, so nutrition for people should be differently accordingly.
