Healthy Choices And How You Can Start Making Them

By Coach Todd


Although most people would like to eat healthier, few actually do it. You can do it, though. All you need are some good ideas to get you started, and here you'll find many.

Do not eat any refined products, but instead choose whole grains. A good source of protein and fibers is in whole wheat and whole grains. Whole grain bread or pasta will help control your cholesterol as well as make you feel full. You can know if your food is considered whole grain by checking the ingredients list on the packaging.

One important nutrition tip to follow is to eat your vegetables and fruits each and every day. The recommended daily allowance is nine to thirteen servings. That sounds excessive, but it can be done with some creative thinking. Drink orange juice for breakfast, and use real tomato paste with your spaghetti noodles.

If you wish to improve your diet and nutrition, begin gradually. Try not to do a complete overhaul overnight. You also want to spare yourself the pain of consuming meals that you actually don't enjoy. Try adding healthier items over a few weeks and eventually you will have developed a healthier habit.

Dark chocolate is the chocolate of choice for nutrition-conscious consumers. The dark variety is good for your heart as it aids in controlling your blood pressure.

If you eat less salt every day, you are going to find that you take note of salt more when you eat it. You may find that foods that are unhealthy are too salty for your tastes now. You will crave salty foods less often.

Eliminate sugar and use artificial sweeteners. Too much sugar causes many health problems, including dangerous heart disorders. Examples of artificial substitutes include Stevia and Splenda. You won't even notice the difference.

Cooking a vegetarian meal a few times a week can do wonders for your nutrition. It will reduce your intake of saturated fats, it will reduce your food costs, and it will provide you with a tasty meal that rivals a meal with meats, not to mention the benefits to the environment.

After integrating these tips into your lifestyle, you can feel more confident that you are eating a better diet.
