Question

If your daily lifestyle does not support good nutritional habits, what can you do to change them? How do your food preferences and eating patterns relate to your childhood experience?

Answer 1

The simple steps to  follow to change the food habits for better health are:

• Avoid junk and high calorie foods .
• Add more fruits ,green leafy vegetables , whole grains and dairy products
• Don't overcook vegetables because excessive boiling and cooking leads to loss of nutritive value.
• Avoid processed foods and try to cook as much as possible at home.

The food preferences that I followed as of now when compared to my childhood are entirely different.Now I prefer to eat any kind of food item regardless of the ill effects to my health.But my parents always choose those food with a high nutritional value.The busy schedule and bigger responsibilities never reminds me of taking food on the right time .Since everything was spoonfed in my childhood ,I never have to look after anything .
