5 Tips for Healthy Eating


I came across this short and simple article from Everyday Food Magazine and had to share. :)

1. Have breakfast. A morning meal jump-starts your metabolism and helps prevent overeating later in the day.

2. Fill half your plate with veggies and fruit. Fill the other half with whole grains and lean proteins, such as fish, chicken, or beans.

3. Eat the rainbow: in general, the darker or brighter in color the fruit or vegetable the more nutrients it packs.

4. Don't supersize your portions. As serving of chicken should be the size of a deck of cards.

5. Before shopping, make a list and stick to it. Avoid the aisles that contain processed foods whenever you can. Shop the perimeter of the store.
