Healthy Eating: Ten Nutrition Tips for Eating Right


Healthy Eating: Ten Nutrition Tips for Eating Right

CarbohydratesChoose good carbs, not no carbs. Whole grains are your
best bet.
 ProteinPay attention to the protein package. Fish, poultry, nuts,
and beans are the best choices.
 FatsChoose healthy fats, limit saturated fat, and avoid trans
fat. Plant oils, nuts, and fish are the healthiest sources.
 FiberChoose a fiber-filled diet, rich in whole grains, vegetables,
and fruits.
 Vegetables and FruitsEat more vegetables and fruits. Go for color and variety
—dark green, yellow, orange, and red.
 MilkCalcium is important. But milk isn't the only, or even
best, source.
 Healthier Drinks (healthier-drinks-new.jpg)Water is best to quench your thirst. Skip the sugary
drinks, and go easy on the milk and juice.
 Lower Salt & Sodium (salt-new-icon.jpg)Eating less salt is good for everyone's health. Choose
more fresh foods and fewer processed foods.
 AlcoholModerate drinking can be healthy—but not for everyone.
You must weigh the benefits and risks.
 VitaminsA daily multivitamin is a great nutrition insurance policy.
Some extra vitamin D may add an extra health boost.
