Is healthy eating more expensive or complicated.
Healthy eating can be described as the act of ensuring that good fresh food products are good and beneficial to our health. This is basically eating a balanced diet including all the six classes of food at the right proportion.
In so many parts of the country is hard to get fresh foodstuff and commercial farming is not on going, even if you get them, it is quite expensive and cannot be affordable by everyone in the country due to their economic status and this is a case that should be investigated as it a major challenge in the country at large.
Let’s talk about the steps for healthy eating.
Eating fresh food products: this has to do with us always trying to get fresh food products from the market to ensure we eat food that is in perfect condition.
Proper hygiene: food products must be washed properly with salt and water before they are being consumed to avoid contaminating the body.
Proper cooking of our food and meat before consumption: proper cooking of meals and meat for a good period to kill all the germs in the meals and make sure they are properly cooked for good digestion is a key step to healthy eating.
Eating food is the right proportion: in our pursuit of ensuring healthy eating let’s learn not to abuse food or overfed by avoiding obesity, which is detrimental to our health, the times which we eat as we all know have been split into breakfast, lunch and dinner. So that you can always eat at the right proportion between the three.
Healthy eating, being more expensive or challenging, I personally would say it is more expensive and complicated at the same time as there are a lot of things surrounding it. The major aspect is the fact that foodstuff is getting more expensive as the day goes by and only those who can afford them have access to it. While those who cannot do whatever they can and trust me don’t get the best.
It is complicated in the sense that farming is not being practiced on a regular basis, most people want to venture into farming, but the availability of farmland is the limitation. Most especially commercial farming is not being practiced in so many states. For example, in Abia state, imo state and so many others around.
Those who have farmland only use them for their own personal farming purposes and not for sales, even when they want to sell they put up a very high prices which makes it out of reach for some citizens.
If the government can encourage large scale farming in almost all the states and release high breed crops, machines for farming, reduction in the price of fertilizers and allocation of land for farming, then food will not be part of the problems in the country. We should also endeavor to eat healthily on our own and farm during the farming season and eat healthily.
