Nowadays staying slim and trim isn’t only about looking fabulous, but also feeling fabulous. Have you ever heard of the phrase “you are what you eat?” Well, if you eat junk, chances are you’ll look pretty crappy. Fast food is affordable and there when you need a quick bite, but it can be a dangerous thing.

The occasional indulgence is fine; Treat yourself, but, once it becomes habitual, it’s hard to stop, and in the long run, it can do some damage. With its low nutritional value, salt, too many calories and cholesterol, bad food can ultimately lead to long-term health problems.

Ever wonder why, at times, you may feel tired or sluggish? It’s all in what you eat; What you eat impacts how you feel, so, when you eat healthy, you feel better. Eating healthy also allows your body to function better. You feel more awake, you have more energy because your body isn’t functioning off of sugar and fat.

Eating a balanced, healthy diet can reduce the risk of life-threatening conditions. A healthy mix of fruits, veggies, and such, can keep you from facing cardiovascular conditions, diabetes, and even cancer. Here’s a great dieting formula to follow so you can live a lean, healthy lifestyle and look good while doing so.
