Healthy food contains the essential nutrients your body requires to function at peak efficiently.
These nutrients, namely vitamins, minerals, trace minerals, protein, carbohydrates, fats and enzymes are necessary for life and without them, your body does not receive the proper fuel it needs to stay healthy.
Without healthy food to nourish your body, you will eventually develop health problems. Headaches, allergies, skin problems or mild fatigue can be just the first signs that your system is ‘underfueled’, but eventually this can lead to major illness, like diabetes, cancer or heart disease.
There is no single healthy food that provides all the nutrients we require, so we must include a wide variety of different foods in our diet.  The answer to the question “what should I eat” is actually pretty straightforward.  Choosing healthy food is simple if you just remember a few guidelines: Select fresh, unprocessed whole foods which include fresh fruit and vegetables, whole grains and legumes, raw nuts and seeds. They contain the greatest amount of vitamins, minerals and enzymes and provide the body with the greatest amount of nutrition.
Eat high-fiber foods which includes breakfast cereals and all manner of beans.Choose healthy fats, like olive and canola oil.  Avoid unhealthy fats, like saturated and trans fats.Eat red meat sparingly, instead choose lean meats, poultry, fish, eggs and dairy products. Eating a healthy food diet will help reduce your risk of heart disease, stroke, obesity or diabetes. read more..

(Reuters) - Despite earlier indications that people taking cholesterol-lowering Statins might have a reduced risk of developing Melanoma, a study of thousands of women found that the popular drugs do nothing to prevent the Deadly Skin Cancer. Evidence from experiments on cells and one trial in people had suggested some of the same properties of statins that protect against Heart Disease might also prevent melanoma, the most lethal type of skin cancer. ... read more..
