Healthy Eats in Palm Beach County
A healthy lifestyle is crucial to a long and healthy life. Developing healthy eating habits is not as baffling or as restrictive as many people imagine. The essential steps are to eat mostly foods derived from plants such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains and legumes and limit highly processed food. Most people in Palm Beach County strive to have a healthy lifestyle.
Vegetarian diets are low in cholesterol, saturated fats, high in fiber and folate, with zero animal protein. It has been studied that in western countries most vegetarians live longer than most non-vegetarians live. They have substantially reduced risks for heart disease, obesity, high blood pressure and reduced risks for such cancers, particularly lung cancer and colon cancer.
Not all vegetarians eat clean. Many replace protein with high fat cheeses and junk food. After all, there is no meat in brownies, chips and ice cream. One can easily consume copious quantities of sugar, carbohydrates and fats. If meat proteins are not substituted with good nutritional choices, it can lead to national deficiencies.
