A Good Diet With Meat and Vegetables

You want a good diet?

You can holiday without traditional foods you're used to? Easter without eggs, without a Christmas pudding or Thanksgiving without the turkey juicy? N. Easter Bunny and Christmas presents? Of course you can! This image is unimaginable to most. This may sound strange, but your body feels like this, even if it lacks the nutrients provided by meats, vegetables or fruit.

When God created us omnivores, you must eat everything he has created for us. And a healthy, balanced diet is one that is not formed only of vegetables and meat but also fish, eggs, cheese and fruit.

There are various reasons why people should include meat in their diet. And one of the most important is that meat keeps our body and mind in a good condition. Taking into consideration the food pyramid, bread, cereals, rice, pasta are the most important. Then, there are the fruits and vegetables, followed by meat, fish, eggs, milk, yogurt and cheese.

Meat is mainly classified as white meat (chicken, turkey) and red meat (beef, mutton). For religious reasons, fish is not meat, neither a dairy product and, therefore, Christians are allowed to eat it when they celebrate some religious holidays or Lent.

Proteins, amino acids, vitamins (B12, B6, K2), minerals (like iron, zinc, phosphorus, selenium and others), all can be found in meat and all of them are essential for our body to work properly. We have to know what sort of meat we should eat. The best is organic meat. So, avoid eating processed food as it is full of chemicals which harm our body. The amount of meat we eat is also essential.

Fruit and vegetables are also essential in our diet. Vegetables, for example, contain fibers, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Together with the vitamins and minerals taken from meat, they make our body function the best way possible.

When we go shopping we have to buy only fresh meat and vegetables and stay away from frozen food and junk food. We can, of course, order the food we need online if we don’t want to go shopping.

Eating healthily means combining meat, fruit, vegetables, cereals, milk, etc. in order to have a balanced diet. And when we say ‘a balanced diet’ we should think of both quality and quantity!
