Making healthy changes to your eating habits can be daunting and confusing.
There are so many different rules and suggestions and dos and don’ts from nutritionists, influencers, and healthcare professionals. And the idea of giving up your favorite foods to be healthier can also be nerve-wracking.
But healthy eating does not have to be complicated or boring — you just need to understand your body’s requirements and how you can properly nourish yourself.
Not sure where to start with your healthy-eating journey?
Here are some tips to help you start eating healthy, without counting, weighing, and tracking every single meal.
Opting for whole foods is the simplest way to have a healthier diet. While most foods do undergo a small degree of processing, foods that are ultra-processed are usually high in sugar, refined carbohydrates, trans fats, and artificial ingredients. These foods can adversely affect your health significantly.
Swapping these out for whole foods such as vegetables, fruits, and whole grains will make for healthier meals. You can also skip traditional pasta for hearts of palm pasta.
An average American consumes around 45 gallons of soda a year, in addition to other alcoholic drinks and sugary beverages. This can lead to type-2 diabetes, premature aging, liver damage, and anxiety.
Swap out your alcohol, soda, and packaged juice for water. You can also have infused water or unsweetened beverages. This simple step can help reduce health risks and lead to a healthier lifestyle.
Staying hydrated also aids with digestion and promotes general wellbeing.
Nuts and seeds are nutritional powerhouses that are rich in protein, antioxidants, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals. Eat them plain, or add them to salads, baking recipes, or cereals.
They’re extremely easy to inculcate in your diet and provide a lot of nutrition even when eaten in small quantities.
If you’re someone who loves Italian food, giving up on pasta may seem impossible. Thankfully, you don’t have to. Traditional pasta can be easily substituted for Natural Heaven pasta. It is a hearts of palm pasta that is a healthier alternative and can benefit your health without any compromise on flavor.
While counting calories may seem like a good idea for losing weight, it is actually the nutritional value of foods that you should be paying attention to.
When it comes to healthy eating, people tend to ignore nutrition and focus on calorie intake instead. The ideal option is to look at the macro and micronutrients of the foods you consume so that you can create a more rounded diet without starving yourself.
When you are grocery shopping, try to include more healthy food along with a smaller helping of comfort food. It will help reduce the temptation around the house while still giving you the option of your favorite treats.
You can also change what you have for snacks, such as opting for baked chips instead of fried ones or snacking on fruits and nuts instead of chocolates.
Eating healthy is a marathon. You cannot drastically change your lifestyle and expect to become healthier overnight. The key is to make small but consistent changes and substitute unhealthy foods for healthier alternatives whenever possible.
