are not learning by example of how to eat from us! Knowledge is power
so we're going to encourage all of you to go back to elementary school
and review basic nutrition. Most of us probably know how to eat right,
but we need to be reminded. We need to have it reinforced in our noggins
of how important it is! Lets refer to the food pyramid. Most of your
foods should come from the lower portion of the triangle and smaller
portions as you move up. Now you can see the bottom of the triangle
is grains and starches, or we can say complex carbohydrates.
Yes
you need carbohydrates! Do not follow any eating plan that eliminates
carbohydrates or encourages extremely low amounts. We are all human
beings and require the same nutrients, maybe only in slightly different
ratios. Moving up the triangle we find that we need 2-4 servings
of fruit and 3-5 servings of vegetables. Now this is one area where
most people are extremely negligent. Therefore a multi-vitamin and
mineral is necessary. Next we get into our lean proteins and at
the top our fats. It really is quite simple. The challenge many
people have is taking the time to plan and prepare their foods.
This is where the importance of meal replacement drinks and bars
come in to play.
Today's
lifestyles place a demand on our time, to be able to eat a complete
meal replacement bar and know that you just got the nourishment
that your body needed is very important. We know it is not reasonable
to prepare 5 -6 healthy meals daily, so that is exactly why we have
formulated the best products for you in our opinion. Utilizing Prosperity
Nutrition's lineup of awesome products you can assure yourself the
macro and micronutrients your body needs.
Everyone
has the time to eat healthy, just be reasonable and plan on substituting
a nutritious meal replacement product. It just is not a high enough
of a priority to many. This is detrimental to their energy levels,
their health, their kids and relationships! This is an issue that
should not be taken lightly. We encourage you to start educating
yourself on nutrition. We assure you knowledge is power. You will
begin to make better food choices as it is reinforced in your head
and heart. We would also like to strongly suggest that you go to
the bookstore at this site and chose a book or tape series that
can help and encourage you to make healthy lifestyle changes.

Nutrition - In our opinion
As
far as we are concerned there is only one way to eat. You must eat
the proper proportions from all of the food groups as shown on the
food pyramid. There is just no getting around it. The eating issues
people have or the illness and disease they suffer from because
of poor nutrition and obesity is not because they didn't have the
right new diet plan or the latest silly exercise equipment. It really
comes down to people not having a bright vision of health and happiness
for their lives. If the thought process is dominantly " I have
to eat better so I look better" your thinking is wrong. You
have got to think I need to eat better because:
- I
need to feel better
- I
need high energy levels so I can be a productive person
- It
is my responsibility to be a good role model for my children
- I
do not want illness and disease to be part of my life
- I
want to have a happy and healthy home. Poor nutrition will affect
my entire family negatively
- I
want to have a healthy self-image. When I eat poorly I know I'm
not doing what I should be doing. This makes me feel bad and affects
all areas of my life.
To
start thinking this way you will need to renew your mind. You have
got to change some stinking thinking. This means you need new positive
information going into your head. You will not change by just wishing
it!
Positive
and educational tapes and books will help you to set goals, control
your destiny, and educate you on nutrition. When you begin eating
healthy and incorporating consistent exercise into your life for
the right reasons you can then achieve your fitness or physique
goals! Think from the inside out and the outside will be lean, fit
and healthy.
