Tips For Healthy Eating

1. Eat vegetables with meals and for snacks. Substitute junk food like candy bars and chips for vegetables like celery and carrot sticks. You can experiment with low fat and no fat dips.

2. Eat wheat or other whole grain bread instead of white bread.

3. Instead of using grease when cooking, use cooking sprays that are either low fat or no fat.

4. Bake with unsweetened cocoa instead of chocolate.

5. When baking, substitute applesauce for the oil in your recipes.

6. Fish contains Omega 3 fatty acids. Consuming omega 3 fatty acids at least twice per week reduces your chances of heart disease and stroke. Baking and grilling (unbattered/unbreaded) are the best methods of cooking, opposed to frying.

7. Eat breakfast to fuel your body during the day.

8. When shopping for fruit juices, select those which have no sugar added. Those which are sweetened with other natural juices are better for you, and they taste good too.

9. To cut back on your fat intake, drink skim milk.

10. Experiment with herbs and spices to perk up the taste of no fat and low fat food.
