Healthy eating tip 1: Set yourself up for success To set yourself up for success, think about planning a healthy diet as a number of small, manageable steps rather than one big drastic change. If you approach the changes gradually and with commitment, you will have a healthy diet sooner than you think. Simplify . Instead of being overly concerned with counting calories or measuring portion sizes, think of your diet in terms of color, variety, and freshness.
Judging by the label, Marie Callender’s (16.5 oz) Chicken Pot Pie has "only" 520 calories, 11 grams of saturated fat, and 800 mg of sodium. But look again. Those numbers are for only half a pie. Eat the entire pie, as most people probably do, and you’re talking 1,040 calories, 22 grams of saturated fat (more than a day’s worth), and 1,600 mg of sodium (an entire day’s worth). Can’t decide what to pick from a restaurant menu? No worries.
The benefits of a healthy nutrition and good eating habits are unnumbered. There are many benefits which have now been scientifically proved, but we can never know the full extent to which eating healthily will affect our body. Using your common sense and your taste buds is usually the best way to know what is healthy.
Eating a healthy, balanced diet is an important part of maintaining good health, and can help you feel your best. It can be simple, too.
