 Better Food, Better Health
Making healthier food choices starts with being mindful of what you eat. Consider incorporating whole grains, lean proteins, healthy fats, fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy products into your diet. Adding these can help provide the essential nutrients your body needs to stay fueled.
- Instead of processed snacks, opt for fresh fruits, vegetables, and nuts during snack time.
- Swap sugary drinks for water, herbal teas, or homemade beverages.
- Always pay attention to portion sizes to prevent overeating.
- Prepare meals at home using fresh ingredients. By doing this, you have control over what goes into your meal. Additionally, cooking at home can be an excellent opportunity to spend time with your family and enjoy delicious homemade meals.
