8 Tips to a Healthy Diet!


Let's talk about the 8 most crucial components of your diet!


1. BERRIES! They are a great source of anti-oxidants and water-soluble vitamins.
They are incredibly beneficial in the prevention of cancer and they help you to maintain
your weight. As if it couldn't get any better---berries maintain the same benefits after
being cooked. So go ahead; make that blueberry muffin you've been craving all week!


2. GO GREEN! Cabbage, lettuce, broccoli, and--I know, I know--but SPINACH! These
greens, and almost any other green vegetables and fruits that you can think of, will be
a great source of Iron for you! Women, you tend to have anemia (or the shortage of 
Iron in your blood) more often than men. Let's help you out with that by incorporating 
some great green snack breaks!


3. Oooo-MEGA! Yes! Omega-3 Fatty Acids. Big words translating to one simple concept:
FISH! If you're not a seafood fanatic, it's important to find a substitute that delivers the
same cardiovascular and anti-inflammatory benefits!


4. WHOLY-GRAINS!  Add some wheat, rye, and bran to your cereal, spaghetti, or
other carb-centered meals in order to incorporate some great fiber! Another great 
source of fiber is beans.


5. GET NUTTY. Almonds, pistachios, and more nuts! Food those borderline vegetarians,
there is hope-get your protein in every day with about a handful of nuts. Don't over-do 
it though, there's enough calories in there as well :)


6. ORANGE VEGETABLES & FRUITS are an excellent source of Vitamin A, which is
great for your skin and eyes. This includes oranges, mandarins, carrots, and bell peppers.
These fruits and vegetables are also great for improving immunity to infection!


7. FIGHT off cancer with tomatoes! You will thank the Vitamins A & C later ;)


8. STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE, let's help your bones. Try a glass of low-fat milk,
or a bowl or yogurt. Get the magnesium, potassium, zinc, vitamin D, and calcium that your bones
need in order to prevent common diseases and disorders, including arthritis!


Finally, drink lots of water. Help your system to cleanse and a big thank you to my 
gorgeous friend Mina Sad for this amazing information.
