Healthy Eating Facts
Choose Healthy Meals
Healthy food choices have a positive impact on your body. They provide you with the necessary nutrients and help you keep healthy and energetic.
Here are some tips:
- Keep Hydrated. Drink water. Avoid sodas or sugary beverages. Low-fat or fat-free milk is a good option. Avoid drinks that have lots of sodium (check the Nutrition Facts on the label).
- Know how much you should eat. Portion size matters. You should try to maintain healthy body weight. Avoid large portions, or you will go overboard with your calorie requirements.
- Know Your Food Groups: you should include food in the right proportions from each food group: Grains, Vegetables, Fruits, Protein, Dairy, Oils, Solid Fats, and Added Sugars
- Plan healthy meals. These should include a variety of different nutrients from each food group. Add a wide range of vegetables (they are a great source of fiber). Fruits are important as they contain fiber and vitamins.
- Reduce salt consumption: spices and herbs can enhance flavor without adding sodium to your diet.
- Read the Nutrition Facts label. Learn what is inside the food you buy. Check fats, sodium, added sugars, and calories. Buy smart to eat a healthy diet.
