Eating healthy does not mean that you eliminate the food you eat completely. Start by small changes in your eating habits. As your eating habits change you add healthier choices to your diet.


1. Prepare your own meals. This helps you in knowing what goes inside your body. Whether it is healthy or not.

2. When eating be careful of your portions. If you eat two portions reduce it to one and a half. This will give your body time to adjust and in no time you will have a grip on your hands from taking another portion of food.

3. Cut down on cakes, chocolates, and snacks. Replace these snacks with healthier ones such as peppers, peanut butter, and fruit.

4. Reduce your intake of sugar. Reducing your intake of sugar a little at a time will give your taste buds time to adjust. Replace your sugary drinks with water or lemon juice.

5. Increase your intake of vegetables. Eating vegetables provides such nutrients which will maintain both your body and health. It is recommended to eat four cups of vegetables daily.

6. Eating a rich fruit diet helps your body to protect itself from diseases such as cancer. 2 cups of fruit are recommended to eat daily.

7. Get enough calcium in your diet because calcium helps to build your teeth, bones and regulate the rhythm of your heart. Dairy products such as cheese, milk and yogurt are rich in calcium.

8. Replace saturated fats with fats which can be found in fish, vegetable oil, and nuts. Limit your intake to non-fat dairy products, lean meat, and skinless poultry.

9. Drink plenty of water daily. Dehydration causes your body to tire easily as well as cause headaches. Water is essential as it helps to flush out toxins and waste products from your body.

10. Avoid salt as it causes high blood pressure, memory loss and kidney diseases. To improve the flavor of your meal use black pepper, curry powder or garlic.

11. It is important to keep in mind that regular exercise also helps to keep your body maintained and stay fit.

12. Avoid smoking and drinking. If you are an addict, try to limit your alcohol consumption. Drink no more than one drink a day.
