Consume Variety Eating a wide selection of foods is the best way to get all of the disease-fighting potential that foods offer. Keep an Eye on Portions Portion control is the key for higher-calorie foods. Eating mindfully,the chances are less that one will eat foods that the body requires less. Eat Plenty of Produce Include green, orange, red, blue/purple and yellow produce. The nutrients in these foods may help protect against certain types of cancer and other diseases. Get More Whole Grains Whole grains retain nearly all the nutrients and fiber of the grain, so at least half your grains should be whole grains, such as whole wheat, barley and oats. Limit Refined Grains, Added Sugar These have little or no dietary fiber and have been stripped of many nutrients hence reducing their consumption is a wise decision. Cut Down on Animal Fat Replace saturated fats with “good” fats found in nuts, fish and vegetable oils. Limit Alcohol If you drink, do so in moderation. People with certain medical conditions should avoid alcohol altogether. Enjoy Your Food Be mindful of what you eat, which may help you eat less and enjoy your food more.
