EAT RIGHT

FOR A
HEALTHY LIFE
EATING HABITS
• Eating is part of our daily routine.
• Each of us has preference in the type of food we chose
and the way we eat.
• Some people choose to eat only a certain food group.
• Others vary the food they eat and how they eat
according to factors such as culture, location, age,
and/or state of fitness or health.
FOUR TYPES OF EATING
• Fueling for Performance
• Emotional Eating
• Social Eating
• Distracted Eating
FUELING FOR PERFORMANCE
• Before heavy training, an athlete needs the right kind of food that
can provide the proper fuel for his or her energy requirement
• There should be a balance among all food groups: carbohydrates,
protein, fats, minerals, vitamins, and water that will provide the
body what it needs for an effective and optimum performance
• Athletes usually practice this sort of structured diet for good body
composition, athletic performance, and recovery
• Athletes also need to drink more fluids as compared to non-
athletes
EMOTIONAL EATING
• Emotional eating is the practice of consuming large amounts
of food in response to emotions instead of hunger
• Eating as a coping mechanism is unhealthy because the
problem is not addressed.
• Overcoming this unhealthy habit means teaching an emotional
eater healthier ways to deal with stress and to develop better
eating habits.
SOCIAL EATING
• We get invited to partake of all the scrumptious food on the
table during celebrations
• Oftentimes, we indulge even if we are not hungry for the sake
of being sociable and to not offend the host or the group
• Sometimes, peer pressure is the reason why one feels
compelled to consume more calories than planned
• Social eating can directly affect a person’s health, leading to
obesity and other health-related problems.
DISTRACTED EATING
• Many do not pay attention to their meal as they are
distracted with what they are watching, thus they tend
to eat more
• This type of diet leads to overweight, obesity, and even
increased risk to diseases like diabetes and
hypertension.
