Great article! Eat Right. You’ve heard it repeatedly, but watching your diet is one of the easiest ways to get healthier. Include plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables – and plenty of variety. Not only will your plate look more attractive and appetizing with dark greens, deep oranges, reds, purples and yellows, you’ll also be getting the widest variety of vitamins and antioxidants by switching things up. Cut the fat and you’ll cut the cholesterol. Include lean meats, lots of fish and poultry and adding alternative proteins like legumes, soy and nuts. Drink your milk and add plenty of water to your diet. Limit your portions. Keep your blood sugar steady by eating five small meals throughout the day rather than three large ones. Allow yourself the occasional indulgence to avoid feeling deprived.
