How To Feed Your Body: Tips On Good Nutrition

By Dr Pj Prakash


It's hard to stay at your best when your body isn't getting the nutrition it needs. Luckily, this article has the information you need in order to feel and look your best wherever you are.

Salad dressing is what really can make a salad unhealthy for you. Dressing that are creamy tend to have a high fat content aren't packed with helpful nutrients. Rather, opt for vinaigrette dressings or just combine olive oil and vinegar yourself. You can also add cranberries or walnuts to your salad.

Instead of using white flour, you can use whole wheat flour. Whole grains provide more fiber and protein than the refined white alternatives. Whole grains will help with your cholesterol as well as make your stomach feel satisfied. Read the ingredient label and look for the word "whole" near the top.

Pack a meal for yourself before heading out the door to classes or your job. When you pack your meals, you don't need to eat out or eat junk food. Ten minutes or less is all it takes to make a few meals.

Oatmeal is a healthy breakfast choice that will give you enough energy to start your day. These grains will cause you to be full faster and keep you full for a longer period of time.

Enjoy a rainbow colored selection of foods every day. All the colors of the rainbow are your clue to finding fresh fruits and vegetables that keep you nourished without unnecessary calories. You should include one bright colored food in every meal. Skins contain antioxidant benefits, so eat those too when they are edible.

Rather than using ground beef for your meals, try ground turkey breast. It is lower in calories and saturated fats. Only use white meat whenever possible, because dark meat is very similar to ground beef. Certain ground turkey blends include dark meat and breast meat, and therefore the saturated fat content is still a bit high.

Puree some pears, berries or peaches for a quick and delicious healthy snack. You can spread this puree on pita bread or dip unsalted pretzels in it. Try different kinds of fruit. Change things up often so you don't become tired of fruit.

One way to improve nutrition is to not emphasize on dessert. Limit your desserts to a couple times a week, if that. Maybe just treat yourself once at the end of a good week of healthy eating.

When you are thirsty, avoid drinking soda. These sugary drinks are loaded with high-fructose corn syrup. The citric acid found in many sodas can cause tooth decay. Sugar in your sodas also causes bacteria to grow on your teeth, which in turn, releases acidic substances that add to what the citric acid is already doing.

If you are not a fan of fruits and vegetables, substitute them with fruit juice. By drinking fruit juices, you get your daily supply of minerals and vitamins without the hassle of preparing your fruits and veggies. Using a straw can help prevent dental problems associated with drinking juice.

By using the information in this piece, it is possible to view your diet plan in a whole new way. Put the above tips to use and you will be able to prepare foods that will have you feeling energetic and lively.
