Nutrition

For some people, the idea of a "diet" can be unpleasant and misleading. However, a diet has more to do with the choices we make when it comes to what we eat and drink. On this episode of the IHSA Safety Podcast, IHSA’s Holly Baril discusses practical diet and nutrition tips for food and beverages.

Holly explains the differences between carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, the three main energy sources for the body, and how they contribute to overall health. Carbohydrates are made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, and are found in grains, vegetables, peas, and fruits. Proteins are found in various foods, including meats, dairy products, legumes, and vegetables. Lipids (fats) are found in fats, oils, naturally occurring fats in meats and dairy products, and less obvious plant sources like coconut, olives, and avocado.

Holly discusses what makes up an adequate and balanced diet, as well as how the food we eat affects our overall health and energy levels. Bad food habits, such as eating while watching TV, skipping breakfast, or eating too quickly, are hard to break; however, being aware of these habits can help in making positive changes. Being active also plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy and balanced living. Any level of physical activity is better than none, and strongly recommended. To develop a more active lifestyle, Holly suggests the following:

· Avoid sitting for more than 30 minutes at a time

· Incorporate extra steps everyday

· Incorporate a variety of food choices

· Limit sugar intake
