Top Tips To Improve Your Nutrition

We all know that eating healthily has a multitude of benefits for our bodies, from improving our immune systems and keeping us physically healthy, to improving our mood and helping us to lose weight.

But what simple nutritional tips can you include in your life to help you stay healthy? Medical News Today recently shared some top tips.

At the top of the list is to ensure that there is some protein in every meal, as this has been shown to help balance blood sugar. According to the news provider, having balanced blood sugar levels has also been found to support both cardiovascular health and weight management.

Another tip that’s easy to remember is to “eat a rainbow”, which is a phrase designed to remind people to eat different coloured fruits and vegetables.

It’s also important to ensure that your diet includes the right kind of fat. Ideally, you should avoid trans fats and limit your intake of saturated fat, while instead replacing them with unsaturated fat. Vegetable oils, avocado and oily fish are all good sources of unsaturated fat.

Of course, it’s important to avoid consuming too much sugar, which is one of the many reasons why it’s advisable to eat as little processed food as possible because sugar is often included in such products.

As we recently pointed out, one of the keys to eating a healthy diet is to ensure it’s varied. There are several ways in which you can encourage variety in your food, such as planning meals ahead and exploring what spices and herbs you can add to dishes to mix them up.

If you’re keen to try something new but aren’t sure where to start, consider ordering a Jamaican food box to get a flavour of the Caribbean at home without having to do all the meal prep.
