Facts About Healthy Eating

Some Interesting and Fun Food Facts

Many facts about healthy eating would amaze you! There are several healthy eating facts that are so confusing that people aren’t sure of what to eat and what not to eat. All of this confusion can get frustrating to say the least. Let’s take a look at some of these confusing fun food facts.

Wine is NOT Good For You

Having a glass of wine or two, or three does not prevent disease or the signs of aging. Alcohol is detrimental to the body in many ways. To justify the drinking of a beverage that controls a persons mind is ridiculous. It would be far better for health to drink freshly juiced purple grapes and their seeds!! The grape seeds are where the healthy substances are anyway.

Chocolate is NOT Good For You

Chocolate is not good for you, but pure cocoa is. Check the ingredients on a chocolate candy bar. Cocoa comes in around 7th or 8th behind numerous other unhealthy ingredients. If you like the taste of chocolate buy the candy bars that are 75% pure cocoa or above.

Margarine is NOT Good For You

Did you know that you can leave margarine open for years and it doesn’t go bad? That’s because it is NOT food. They add a few food ingredients in the mix so they can call it that, but it has no food value whatsoever. Raw goat and cow butter and extra virgin olive oil are far better for your health than synthetic margarines.

Corn and Vegetable Oils Are NOT Good For You

They sure like to make this a confusing subject. Let me make it simple for you. If the oil is cooked it is bad for you. If it is raw (expeller pressed), then it is good for you. All oils are cooked with the exception of extra virgin olive oil, safflower oil, coconut oils, raw nut oils, and oils that come naturally from the food.

There are so many facts about healthy eating that have been distorted that it would take a book to tell you all of them. Here are some neat fun nutrition facts about the banana.

Banana Nutrition Facts

  • The banana is loaded with potassium a natural blood pressure regulator.
  • The riper the banana the more sugar content it holds.
  • The banana takes 45 minutes to completely digest in the digestive tract, longer than any other fruit.
  • The green tipped bananas have been touted as being healthier than the riper banana.
  • Bananas are so popular that rain forests are torn down to make room for more banana plantations.

Nutrition Facts For Coffee

I know what you’re thinking. There’s no nutrition in coffee! And you are absolutely correct. Facts about healthy eating should not include nutrition for coffee. But I did want to mention coffee because with anything else in this life, “moderation” is the key.

Drinking one, two, or even three cups of coffee in a twenty-four hour period is not going to hurt you. Neither is drinking one or two glasses of wine, but as we all know too well, many people go over the moderation limit and live it up. By the way, there is no nutrition in coffee.

Blueberries Nutrition

Facts about healthy eating can extend to the nutritional facets of blueberries. Berries of all kinds have special antioxidants and lots of vitamin-C. Blueberries taste great by themselves, and with muffins and pies. They are also known to have a lot of manganese, a mineral that helps to build strong bones, and teeth.

There you have it. Some fun-filled facts about healthy eating.
