Healthy Foods to Eat Without Going Hungry!
By Aleck Mann

We are what we eat! I'm not sure who said that, but just what did they mean exactly? Perhaps it simply translates to those of use that live off burgers, pizzas, hot dogs, and all things branded with the junk and convenience food labels become fat an wobbly individuals who suffer all the ills that obesity can throw. Someone who eats healthily and moderately, on the other hand, is an active, slender, and naturally healthy soul, who enjoys good health more often than not. Well, whatever it means and whoever said it is perhaps not so important, but if we care anything about ourselves and our general wellbeing, then knowing which healthy foods to eat then eating them is paramount.

So, just what fuel and nutrition do you feed on? I hope you're not like I am (or used to be), which was a sugar feasting, salt crunching, fat chewing food junky. I ate anything and everything that was potentially damaging to general health and wellbeing, but as a youth I had a very fast metabolism, and through ignorance, thought that so long as I stayed slim, there were no risks to my health despite my diet.

Little did I know that cholesterol can build up regardless of ones physical size, and more recently I've discovered that there are many foodstuffs associated with cancers, stokes, fatigue, and digestion. Oh, I could go on but this short piece is not about me and my lot but more to promote the benefits of what healthy foods to eat in general.
