Eat smart, play hard

Six simple ways to smarter, healthier eating

We all know that we could boost our health by exercising more, managing stressful event and eating healthier. Here are six ways you can eat healthy, delicious meals, and really enjoy what you're eating.

1) Ditch whole milk

Try to switch from 2% reduced fat milk, then 1% and finally skimmed milk and dairy products whenever it is possible.

2) Harness the power of nuts (and seeds)

Almonds, cashews, filberts, hazelnuts, peanuts, pecans, and pistachios pack plenty of beneficial nutrients, including vitamin E, folic acid, potassium, and fibre. Although many nuts are high in fat, the fat is mainly unsaturated — a great choice to help you eat healthy. Despite that nuts are very healthy but they are high in calories too. So try to use them as snack not in addition to food and control portion size.

3) Taste food before you salt it

Try to break from salt intake for two days then start adding salt to reach good flavour instead of adding salt in a mindless way. You can try spices instead of salt.

4) Pack lunc once a week

Preparing lunch and storing leftovers help you in eating healthy food at work and don’t forget to take your portion size.

5) Eat five (or more) vegetables and fruits a day

It's a nutrient-packed way to fill your plate that is generally low in calories. First, for one week, keep track of how often you eat fruits and vegetables. One serving equals one-half cup of chopped fruit or most vegetables; for raw leafy vegetables like lettuce and spinach, a serving is one cup. Once you have your baseline, try adding one fruit or vegetable serving a day.

6) Plan meals that are delightful, delicious and healthy

Try to write down ingredients of your meal, changing cooking method and adding spices sand vegetables is maybe helpful in having delicious yet healthy meals.
