MARCH is Nutrition Month! 7 TIPS - to fuel your Healthy lifestyle
1. Eat a healthy breakfast. As a wellness coach, I find so many people who either skip breakfast or do the "toast or muffin with coffee" routine - and call that "breakfast". After hours of sleep, our body needs energy to start the day the right way!
2. Downsize your portions. Serving sizes in restaurants are NOT the "norm". Learn what a portion size is - i.e., a serving of pasta is the size of a closed fist; a serving of meat / fish is the size of the palm of your hand and about the height of a deck of cards. Serving and consuming smaller portions is associated with weight loss and weight management over time.
3. Snack healthy. Snacking can be healthy! Indulge in fruits, vegetables and nuts (in moderation) can help you avoid overeating at lunchtime or dinnertime.
4. Eat 2 to 3 servings of protein per day. Protein is an essential nutrient found in meat, fish, poultry, eggs and dairy products, as well as beans. Opt for plant-based protein, which contains less fat than animal protein.
5. Add fiber. A high-fiber diet contributes to healthy digestion by helping your system eliminate waste efficiently. Fruits, vegetables and whole grains are rich sources of fiber. We should all have a goal of 25-30 grams of fiber per day. If your GUT is good - the rest of your body will benefit immensely!
6. Reduce levels of sugar, saturated fat and salt. Check the nutritional facts on food lables and select those with the lower amount of sugar, saturated fat and salt. BEWARE of labels that say "low fat"...probably has added sugar. AND BEWARE labels with "low sugar" - probably has aspertame - NOT good for your body!
7. Drink plenty of water. It is essential to maintain balance in your body. Water helps with this and more.
