Nutrition 101 : Eating for your best health
As we begin the new year, Can we in 2022 start off in the right direction by making sure we are making wise choices. Eat to lose weight is not a misnomer. It's a FACT!
I have listed below an outline that can help you navigate the essential points of becoming more aware of food and how energy dense it is and how it affects your body.
- Eat plenty of whole grain carbohydrates, especially those high in fiber ( Breads and grains )
- Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables ( @ least 2/3 of your plate should comprise this food group, minimize dressings )
- Look for low-and non-fat dairy products ( milk, non dairy, yogurt )
- Go for variety in the protein group ( Fish, Beef, Chicken, Pork, Tofu, Quinoa )
- Reduce intake of foods high in saturated and trans fat ( Peanut, Cotton, Canola, margarine )
- healthy fats can be included in your diet ( Olive Oil, coconut oil ) )
- Get regular physical activity ( at least 3 - 5 days a week, 40 min )
Take incremental steps for change.
