Your body needs food that promotes energy, making it run effectively. Too much food is not healthy for you and not enough of the right foods can also be detrimental to your health

Which foods should you be eating:

You would be mistaken to assume all food is good for you. Even apparently healthy foods like liver , which provides iron should be eaten in moderation as too much iron can actually be quite bad for you. Additional fruit and vegetables should be eaten but again you should be aware that over doing fruits and vegetables can lead to weight gain. One important thing to bear in mind as you get older is your cholesterol levels and you should avoid foods which lead to high cholesterol levels. Cholesterol can lead to hardened arteries the major cause of heart attacks and strokes.

On visiting a doctor he will quickly be able to access if you are over or under weight and need to be on a diet of some kind. He will weigh you and decide if you need to shed a few pounds or in some cases gain a few pounds. He will offer diet advice and help you plan what you should and should not be eating.

It’s not as difficult as you think as long as you set yourself realistic goals at the start and accept there will be setbacks on the way.
