The Fundamentals of    Healthy Eating

While some extreme diets may suggest otherwise, we all need a balance of protein, fat, carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins, and minerals in our diets to sustain a healthy body. You don’t need to eliminate certain categories of food from your diet, but rather select the healthiest options from each category.

1. Fish

Most seafood is high in protein and low in saturated fat. Fish such as salmon, trout, sardines, anchovies, sable fish (black cod), and herring are also high in omega-3 fatty acids. Experts recommend eating seafood at least twice a week.

2. Poultry

Removing the skin from chicken and turkey can substantially reduce the saturated fat. In the U.S., non-organic poultry may also contain antibiotics and been raised on GMO feed grown with pesticides, so opt for organic and free-range if possible.

3. Dairy Products

Products such as skim milk, cheese, and yoghurt offer lots of healthy protein. Beware of added sugar in low-fat yoghurts and flavored milk, though, and skip processed cheese that often contains non-dairy ingredients.

Beans and peas are packed full of both protein and fiber. Add them to salads, soups and stews to boost your protein intake.

5. Nuts and seeds

 As well as being rich sources of protein, nuts and seeds are also high in fiber and “good” fats. Add to salads or keep handy for snacks.

6. Tofu and soy products

Non-GMO tofu and soy are excellent red meat alternatives, high in protein and low in fat. Try a “meatless Monday,” plant-based protein sources are often less expensive than meat so it can be as good for your wallet as it is for your health.
