Eating Healthy
Calli Smith asked:
Go Organic
These days, synthetic pesticides and chemical fertilizers are used on crops nearly everywhere. Selecting organic produce enables you to know you are eating all-natural produce sans the harsh chemicals. But organic does come at a higher price, so make sure you get the most bang for your buck by buying the organic produce that retains the highest levels of pesticides. These include peaches, apples, celery, and strawberries.
Buy in Season
Try to buy fresh produce in season – it not only tastes better with peak flavor, but it is a much better value as well.
Splurge on Convenience
A great way to implement more fruits and vegetables into your diet is buying the pre-washed and pre-cut produce. They do cost more but they make up for it in convenience and you will be more inclined to eat them if readily available.
Begin with Breakfast
Don’t skip the first and most important meal of the day! When you start the day, you are running on empty, so breakfast refills the tank and gives you energy for the day. There are a myriad of different breakfast foods that are not only healthy but delicious too: try multi-grain toast, yogurt with fresh fruit, a smoothie, waffles, or even cold cereal.
Mindful Snacking
Snacks are a great way to keep your energy levels up all day long – just make sure you select the right foods. Choose from different snack groups and keep it low-fat and low-sugar. Try (pre-cut) fruit and veggies, yogurt, crackers, rice cakes, or pretzel sticks.
Healthy Meals
Sitting down to plan your meals for the entire week allow you to sit down and thoroughly plan healthy meals and ensure all the food group requirements are met. When you make a healthy meal that freezes well (such as soups, stews, or casseroles), make some extra and freeze it so you can use it later for a quick dinner.
Vitamins
The latest trend in the vitamin and supplement industry is customized vitamins [http://codenutrition.com/products/essentials]. Companies (such as industry leader Code Nutrition) provide customized supplements based on your own genetic code. A simple at-home DNA test is administered to determine exactly what nutrients you need.
Go Brown
Don’t forget to eat your grains! Get plenty of whole grains, barley and wheat. Try wheat bread instead of white and eat whole-wheat pancakes, pasta, or bread.
