So, you've done it. You're ready to better your nutrition, correct? Well, now is the perfect time. You probably have questions on how to start, but do not worry, this article can help you start. Here are some tips that will help you improve your daily nutrition safely.

Get garlic breath! This pungent and flavorful food has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties, which makes it a powerful tool for lowering your blood pressure and even helping to lower your bad cholesterol levels. Try using it to flavor vegetables and pastas, or as a topping on pizza. Always use fresh cloves and only cook it lightly to preserve the most nutrients.

If you find it hard to make nutritious meals because of the time it takes to make them at the end of a long day, try taking one day a week, to cook and prepare lots of dishes that can be stored in the freezer. Then each night, you only need to take one out and heat it up to have a healthy, homemade meal.

If you just can't give up foods rich in cholesterol such as bacon, butter, or egg yolks, many kinds of vegetable foods have fiber, which can reduce your absorption of cholesterol. It is best to eat these at the same time, for example, oatmeal with some bacon, rather than at different times, like bacon for breakfast and broccoli at lunch.

Bring your own snacks or meals for family outings. It is the easiest way to keep your family eating healthy while you are out. Keep your clean fruit in a bowl, so it is easy for the kids to reach into the refrigerator and grab an apple or orange, whenever they feel the need to snack.

Salad is one of the best things that you can put into your body, and can limit the amount of fat that you consume. Instead of eating a hearty meal that is filled with calories and carbohydrates, eat a salad. This will go a long way in your quest for the perfect body.

Add more salads to your diet every day. These are packed with so many vitamins and nutrients essential for healthy organs and healthy minds. These can also take care of the amount of "greens" you should be consuming everyday and you can basically add any healthy fruits and veggies that you want. Try to avoid cream-based dressings though and opt for olive oil, vinegar, low fat yogurt or eat it plain.

Thiamin is an important part of a healthy diet. Thiamin works in the body to help you use energy from carbohydrates effectively. It also helps to regulate your appetite. Muscle function, heart and nervous system are all assisted by this vitamin. Thiamin is found in many foods in small amounts, but you won't find it in refined foods.

As stated in the beginning, nutrition plays a huge role in our lives because it is what gives us the energy we need to get through the day, as well as playing a huge role in our health, weight and mood. If you take the tips given here and apply them to your life, you will be healthier and happier.
