You are unique and a perfect diet depends on your activity levels, previous or past health conditions, age, weight and nutritional deficiencies. With so many choices out there how do you deal with the sheer volume of information? It seems like the more we know about food, the more we worry about it. Take a stroll down the health isle at your supermarket and you’ll find dozens of vitamins and supplements for sale, all claiming health benefits. Given all these choices it’s hard for us to know how to eat.

Food is fundamental for us all, yet the way many of us are eating is catastrophic for our health. A nutrient is a substance obtained from food and used in the body to promote growth, maintenance and repair. An optimal diet should be based around three important steps, energy, quality and balance.

Energy
If you are at a healthy weight for you height, then you have your energy in balance already. If you are carrying excess weight, the best thing you can do to improve your health is to get to your ideal weight and stay there. Therefore one of the most valuable things you need to know is how many calories you should be consuming daily. Your body will not access its storage tank of fat easily, you must give it a reason to use the onboard supply, so record your calorie consumption and choose quality foods.

Quality
Due to the wide availability of processed foods we are becoming under-nourished and over fed. Our bodies are designed to run on whole foods rich in vitamins and minerals. Good fats are essential, they aid in absorption of fat soluble vitamins. Water is by far the most important nutrient Water carries nutrients to cells, it aids digestion and metabolism, decreases bloating and fluid retention, promotes good skin tone, and curbs the appetite

Balance
Balance means making sure you have the right balance of carbohydrate at the best time of day to fuel activity, or are you getting enough quality protein for the maintenance of cells. You might be consuming too many anti-nutrients such as salt, sugar and alcohol. Everybody has different needs and experts argue all the time about what the perfect balance should be.

It really shouldn’t be complicated, the perfect diet for you should be enjoyable and keep you within a healthy weight range. Always consult with a qualified nutritionist or dietitian and avoid fad diets that offer a quick fix.
