The key to better diet & nutrition begins in your supermarket. If you don’t bring cookies, ice cream and chips into the house, you are less likely to eat them. Conversely, if you do bring fruits, vegetables, nuts, frozen yogurt into the house, you will begin to eat healthier! Spend more time in the produce aisles.
* Did you know soups and frozen foods are packed with salt?
* Did you know that the body doesn’t really process many sugars so they land on your hips or backside?
* Did you know that salts and sugars can cause fluid buildup in your body and internal inflammation? (both are bad for your heart)
Add Plenty of Super Foods to your Diet
Add color to your plate and feel better. Dark fruits and vegetables are considered SUPER foods.
* Try dark greens like Kale or Romaine lettuce instead of iceberg.
* Red peppers, cherries, blueberries and strawberries can also make a positive difference.
* Broccoli turns on the gene that kills breast and prostate cancer cells!
* Drink lot of waters or flavored water (without salt) especially in the summertime, in Florida!
* Oatmeal and grains/nuts (almonds, pecans, walnuts) are important to keep your system moving, in an out of the bathroom.
* Omega 3 fish oils are great cancer fighters.
* Get in the habit of cutting up vegetables and grabbing them as snacks. Keep some fruits out so you see them.
* For Bone health eat foods with calcium or take calcium with Vitamin D, magnesium and Omega 3 oil.
* Use honey instead of sugar where possible, fat free yogurt instead of ice cream, non-fat milk instead of whole.
* Cinnamon is a great way to add flavor to snacks!
What we eat can either be helpful or harmful, it is our choice to eat healthier!
