EATING FOR WELLNESS

1 FOCUS ON FOOD, NOT NUTRIENTS
Once you take the focus away from nutrients and eat a diet based primarily on wholefood, we get the nutrients we need.
2 BUILD A BETTER PLATE
Half of your plate should be vegetables of different types and colors, one quarter of low GI carbs (like whole grains, pasta, rice) and one quarter lean protein ( red meat, skinless chicken, fish, legumes).
3 EAT FOOD AS NATURE INTENDED
The longer the ingredients list, the more likely the food is highly processed. If you can not pronounce it, you should not eat it.
4 EAT A HANDFUL OF NUTS AND SEEDS EVERY DAY
Nuts are just another plant food and like fruits and vegetables, contain a wide variety of essential nutrients and protect your health. Yes they are high in fat, but the good type.
5 QUENCH YOUR THIRST WITH WATER FIRST
Hydration can curb hunger and boost your metabolism.
