How To Eat Healthy

Eating healthy can be a challenge, especially when you're trying to get the family on board.

Luckily, we've got some simple tips that can help you make sure everyone in your home is getting their daily dose of vitamins and minerals.

First things first: it's important to understand what "eating healthy" actually means. It doesn't mean "eating nothing but kale salads every day." In fact, if you're eating nothing but kale salads every day, you might not be getting enough calories to sustain yourself! Or your family members! So keep in mind that there's more than one way to eat healthily—it just depends on your needs and personal preferences.

Here are some simple tips that will help you eat healthier, no matter what your diet is or how much time you have to prepare meals.

1) Eat more fruits and vegetables. This is the most important thing you can do for your health. Even if you're not trying to lose weight, increasing the number of fruits and vegetables in your diet will help prevent chronic diseases like heart disease and cancer. They're cheaper than processed foods anyway, so there's no need to worry about spending too much money on healthy food.

2) Cut out processed foods as much as possible. Processed foods are high in calories and low in fibre, so they don't fill you up as well as whole foods do—and they can be full of harmful chemicals that aren't good for your body.

3) Drink plenty of water! Drinking water helps with digestion, keeps skin looking healthy and glowing, and helps muscles recover after exercise… it's just plain good for you! Drink at least 8 glasses per day—more if you're exercising regularly or sweating a lot from heat or humidity (like when it's hot outside).

This will help with digestion and keep skin looking healthy while also helping muscles recover after exercise...and it's just plain good for you!

Eating healthy is not just about eating salads and kale. It's about making sure you're getting a balanced diet of all the nutrients your body needs.

A healthy diet should include:

- A variety of fruits and vegetables (at least five servings per day).

- Whole grains like quinoa, brown rice, and whole-wheat bread.

- Healthy fats like avocado, olive oil or coconut oil.

- Protein sources like beans, lentils, chicken/turkey/fish (or tofu if you're vegan), eggs, nuts and seeds.

- Dairy products in moderation if you can tolerate them (yoghurt is great for probiotics).

The best way to eat healthily is to start by making sure your kitchen is stocked with the right ingredients. If you have a well-stocked pantry, fridge, and freezer, you'll be able to put together a vegan meal in minutes.

Here are some vegan pantry staples:

-Nutritional yeast: This stuff is a nutritional powerhouse! It's packed with B vitamins, protein and fibre, so it helps keep you full longer. Plus, it tastes cheesy (without any dairy), so you can add it to almost anything.

-Soy sauce: Soy sauce is rich in sodium and iron, both of which are essential for maintaining healthy blood pressure levels. It also has lots of umami flavour—which makes it perfect for adding depth to any dish that needs an extra boost.

-Vegan butter: Vegan butter is made from coconut oil or palm oil instead of dairy products like butter or margarine does. It's rich in saturated fat and cholesterol but contains no lactose or casein (both are proteins found in milk).

-Coconut milk: Coconut milk is high in vitamin B12 as well as vitamin C (both essential nutrients). It has less fat than regular dairy milk but has more potassium.

Change up your mindset. Think of food as fuel for your body, not as something that should be enjoyed solely for its taste. This will help you avoid overindulging, which will help you feel better about yourself!

Eating healthy doesn't have to be complicated.
