Eating Right

Almost anyone you ask will say they are concerned with
their diet. So why do so many people make such poor
nutritional choices? Improper diet can lead to a variety
of problems, and eventually lead to obesity, heart
problems, joint and arthritis problems, and overall bad
health. There are many things that you can do to slowly
improve the way that you eat and the foods that are a part
of your everyday diet. By starting to make small changes
you will find that it is easier to accept the change. If
you decide that you are going to take drastic measures to
improve your daily diet you find that you revert back to
your earlier eating habits when the cravings start to
happen.

Fruits and vegetables should be the centerpiece of your
daily diet. Choose dark colored vegetables, such as leafy
greens, for your salad. Select fruits that are high in
essential vitamins, such as bananas or oranges. Begin by
slowly increasing the amount of fruits and vegetables that
you eat on a daily basis, and before you know it, you'll be
eating the proper amount of fresh foods.

Next, consider what types of grain and breads you're eating.
Breads and pastries made with white or other refined flour
offer no nutritional value. On the other hand, whole grains
are full of fiber, vitamins and minerals. You might consider
eating a bran cereal for breakfast as a way to start
changing your habits. It won't take that long to realize
that whole grains actually taste good as well as make you
feel healthier.

Make healthy selections for protein -- fish and poultry and
limit the amount of red meat in your diet. Plan to reduce
your intake of fat in your diet, animal fats and other fats.
Use healthy oils such as virgin olive oil and canola oil
when cooking. Bake or poach your fish and poultry to help
reduce the amount of fat in your diet. Eliminate or reduce
your consumption of fried foods, such as donuts and potato
chips. Try healthier choices such as popcorn (with a little
or no butter) and rice cakes.

Try to trick you sweet tooth with substitutes for cookies
and cakes - options such as such as dried fruit, low fat
cookies, low fat ice cream, or low fat candies. Making
changes to the way you eat can be a life long process, with
a little bit of patience and determination you can
dramatically change your life. Not only will you feel more
healthy and vibrant, but you may be surprised by how the
tastes of foods change for the better!
