Pros and Cons of Good Food and Drink

January 24, 2019 By Rebecca

What you eat and what you drink is a huge part of how you live. But there are so many different variables into what you consider good and bad that it’s essential to find the contextual definitions of each, and how they can potentially affect your life on a large scale. Everyone has a different version of what is good and bad, but you have to recognize that there is a distinction between what is good for you and bad for you that is different than what you like or what you don’t like as far as personal preference goes. Beyond that, various food and drink can even have effects on your behavior.

Think of a few different ways you can split the positive and negative aspects of different food and drink into various categories. You can look at them from the perspective of healthy and nutritious meals. As far as behavior goes, you can look at what it means to drink alcohol at meals. This is a massive topic because alcohol affects different people in different ways, and then there are the consequences of behavioral patterns and over drinking that can enter the equation. And then there is the matter of emphasizing food that you feel is comfortable or tastes good as opposed to its nutritional value.

Healthy and Nutritious Meals

If you want to prioritize your health, then you have to prioritize healthy and nutritious meals. This means that you have to think of things in terms of a balanced diet. If you look at the latest federal recommendations for food and nutrition, it might not seem like the most appealing process. Nutritionists recommend that the majority of your calories come from fruits and vegetables, and then split the rest between carbohydrates, protein, and dairy. This is not how most people eat. But if you want the best benefits of proper nutrition, that’s the proportion that you should be focusing on.

Drinking at Meals

Alcohol plays a huge part in cultures around the world when it comes to food and nutrition. The right alcohol paired with the right foods makes everything taste amazing. Drinking alcohol at events is a cause for celebration and bonding in many instances. The trouble happens when people drink too much, and their behavior changes, or maybe they drink too much and drive afterward. This is the case where what you intake as a drink can have a negative consequence on your life if you aren’t careful.

Food That Is Comforting and Tastes Good

Finally, there is the matter of eating comfort food. People get caught up in the idea that when they are sad or have certain emotions going on, certain types of food will make them feel better. Unfortunately, the kind of food that they often pick is high in fat, sugar, and empty calories. So even though you might consider this good food, in fact, it is the opposite of being good for you.
