too much of any one food can be bad.Potatoes are high in high glycemic carbohydrates.If you are eating mostly potatoes during the day and not getting enough protein,you are risking getting a blood sugar disorder.Try to restrict your intake to one meal a day 3 days a week.You need to rotate your foods to avoid getting imbalances in your body.Make sure you eat enough vegetables,fruit and protein.Too much carbohydrates such as potatoes in the diet is as bad as eating lots of sweets...it can cause diabetes,so you need to scale back.When you do eat potatoes,leave the skins on them,because that is where all the potassium and b-vitamins are...potatoes are also excellent sources of fiber,in case of any kind of muscular-skeletal problems such as arthritis,they are not reccomened.

Yes. There are a lot of calories in some salad dressings, and depending on what you put on it. Everything should be eaten in moderation. Although salad is a much better choice, you should still watch how much you eat. If you eat salad twice a day (not huge ones) and watch other things you eat, you should be fine. You will definitely be well regulated lol

its just like pasta, bread and potatoes, if you eat too much, it could give you extra weight, especially if your not moving around too much.

For the record, I do not consider the white potato a healthy food but eat the sweet (orange) potato or yam myself.  If you do not buy organic, washing the skin of your fruits and vegetables with a good vegetable wash or with a vinegar and water solution is a good idea to get rid of residue pesticides.  If you buy organic, the bulk of the nutrition in potatoes, fruits, and vegetables lies in the skin and the adjoining tissue and less concentrated in the food itself, decreasing to about 50% as you get to the core.

I don't think so. While fruit is good for you, too much fruit can give you diarhhea. If you want a healthier complexion, definately add more fruits and veggis to your diet. Water is also important for healthy skin. Make sure you are drinking at LEAST two eight ounce glasses a day of just water (not juice, soda, hi-c) to help keep you hydrated and flush impurities. Start walking to get your blood flowing, this will help with overall body health too!

Oh goodness yes!  They are almost all carbohydrate!  Plus, did ya know that there's as much vitamin "C" in a potato as in an orange?  The vitamin C is just under the skin.  Peeling will remove some of it but not all, and cooking will denature some of it, but not all.  And they've got calcium and phosphorus too, all of which are especially good for growing young kids 'cause those nutrients help build strong healthy bones!  And the best thing is - they're Irish!  Erin go bragh!

I wouldn't call 2 eggs daily "excessive"; however, studies have shown NO health risk involved with (reasonable) consumption of eggs, so the "eating eggs is bad for cholesterol levels and your heart" story has been largely relegated to myth status. \n\n"The April 21st issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA1999;281:1387-1394) [1] reports a study by Hu and colleagues from the Harvard School of Public Health which found no relationship between egg consumption and cardiovascular disease in a population of over 117,000 nurses and health professionals followed for eight to fourteen years. There was no difference in heart disease relative risk between those who consumed less than one egg a week and those who ate more than one egg a day."

of course it's not healthy. you need to eat a wide variety of foods for optimal nutrition.

Eating healthy reflects on complexion, hair , nails etc. You stay in good health and are bubbling with energy.\n\nEating unhealthy causes a lot of problems. You may become obese eating junk, unhealthy foods. This in turn will lead to other problems like blood pressure, heart problems, diabetes, joint problems, breathing difficulty all due to the extra weight.\n\nOn the other hand if one eats less one can become anaemic and have weak bones if they eat a diet lacking the required nutrients.\n\nBoth kind of unhealthy diets will make one's skin look dull. It may also start breaking out, become too oily or dry. The hair becomes dry and starts to fall whereas nails get brittle and break easily.

Hi!  Good for you for eating carbs!\nBaked potatoes are a good source of healthy carbs because they also contain a lot of fiber.  Different types of beans are also good (black beans, chick peas, navy (white) beans) and they, too, are a good source of fiber.  Don't go crazy with portion sizes, as these do contain a good amount of carbs.  One small potato or 1/4 cup of beans are appropriate portion sizes.  Pair these with salad greens and a source of low-fat protein and you have a great meal.  Don't forget to exercise daily to burn off any excess carbs your body doesn't use naturally.

Absolutely..you don't have to be "vegan", (no meat or diary), but a diet of fruits, vegetables and free range poultry and fish is the only hope for a healthy body. \nWe should also eat only certified organic foods.\n\nThe food we eat today is not real food..it's genetically modified in food labs and is making us fat, creating sickness and disease and addictions.\n\nMeat today is so full of terribly bad things nothing can cook it out (read "Fast Food Nation" or "Supersize Me")..they tell us it's okay though - when we get sick, we can take medicine that is also filled with poisonous chemicals, additives and other fillers that will only mask our symptoms and create problems to other organs in our bodies down the line...then, we can get medicine for that...and the cycle continues...

no you are better off eating a balanced diet. Only take the supplements if you checked with your doctor first. If you take too many and too much,then you may notbe able to fight off illnesses  when the time comes.
