Healthy eating and living

Healthy food is not only important in a person’s diet but is also important for personal well-being. Eating healthy food is important for everyone especially teens. It can prevent and control health problems. Eating healthy food can prevent heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and even some cancers. It is not the same thing as going on a diet. A healthy diet makes a person eat less food rather than the right food. Dieting causes the body to get less nutrients while healthy eating boosts and balances the nutrients in the body. Overall, a person needs to pay attention to what they eat.

Healthy food also improves a person’s mood, helps handle stress and gives a person more energy.  Eating healthy food can also improve physical fitness. It doesn't mean that a person has to follow a strict diet or give up the food they love. The right balance of the amount of food that is eaten to obtain all the necessary nutrients is needed. It is a good idea to limit foods such as fast food, Pizza Sauce, etc., but completely avoiding them is also not the answer.

Healthy food habits at a young age will help people when they get older. Learning the importance of proper nutrition will help establish good eating habits. Combining a balanced diet with physical exercise will help a person live long and healthy. Eating unhealthy food can lead to obesity. People feel that if they want to lose weight they can’t eat all the good things that they would like to eat. They also feel like they need to eat fat free or low calorie foods to keep fit. Just because something is fat free doesn’t mean they can eat as much as they want.

Many low-fat or Fat Free Mayonnaise foods are also high in calories. Everything eaten should be limited to a certain amount of calories. Another way is to substitute favourite foods with fat free baked foods. Eating healthy snacks is another way to substitute favourite foods. Eating healthy food will provide the necessary nutrients that the body needs to function and create new cells. Eating healthy is something that must be done throughout a person’s life. The entire diet does not need to change abruptly. It should be done slowly over a period of time.

A healthy diet is the key to a happy, long and fit life.

Different Types of Mustard

Mustard is one of the world’s oldest condiments. Mustard sauce is made by mixing the ground seeds of the mustard plant with liquid. Mustard's pungency and heat comes from the enzymes that convert it into mustard oil once the seed is broken. This sauce can be stabilized to different degrees, resulting in a condiment that adds the right bite to complete hot dogs, burgers, sandwiches and other snacks.

The level of heat in a mustard sauce is directly related to the kind of seed that is used. American Mustard Sauce are the mildest. Brown and black seeds are much hotter and more pungent. The liquid used to moisten those seeds and bind the mustard also has a lot of pungency. Dried mustard seeds or powders have no heat of their own. When combined with water the natural enzymes present in the mustard work to liberate pungent compounds from the dormant state. The more acidic the liquid, the slower the reaction and the longer the heat will last. Mustards made with vinegar are long-lasting, while those made with water are extremely pungent when freshly prepared and therefore lose their punch.
