Nutrition Therapy
What does good nutrition look like?
Your body's vital functions all rely on healthy nutrition. A normally beating heart, adequate blood flow and a healthy weight all depend on the nutrients your body intakes. Along with exercise and fitness, proper nutrition also decreases the risk of serious diseases, such as obesity and Type 2 diabetes.
Goshen Health provides the services and resources you need to maintain good health and nutrition.
Getting started with the right nutrition choices
A balanced diet rich in a variety of fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins is the foundation of proper nutrition. Foods full of fats, oils and sugar have little to no room in a healthy, balanced diet.
It's not always easy making healthy choices, but these tips may help you get started:
- Make a shopping list that includes a variety of fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables, lean meats and whole grains.
- Learn proper portion sizes.
- Avoid frying foods whenever possible.
- Add flavor with herbs and spices instead of salt.
- Eat snacks made of fruits, vegetables, nuts or seeds.
Nutrition for kids is just as important. They should also follow these basic dietary guidelines.
