Eating Right

Baby Boomers should know how to eat right.  After all we taught our spouses, children, and now grandchildren to eat the right thing.  Now it shouldn't be 'do as I say and not as I do' stage.  We still must eat right, to improve the quality of our lives.  Do we even know what we are eating?  Along with the journals/memoirs we are starting, keep track of what we are eating each day.  Become familiar with the basic food groups.  Remember those - vegetables, fruits, etc?  Do you know how many calories you consume in a day?  Do you know how many calories you should consume? 

A good diet, that is right for the individual, is based on age, health conditions, needs, gender, and circumstances, among other issues.  The questions we need to know should start with our doctors,  based on research we have done beforehand.   We should understand the basics for what we should eat, and the keys to a proper diet include knowledge and making good choices.
