Want to eat more healthfully without following fancy or expensive diets? It’s simple, with these tips:
- Avoid oversized portions. Enjoy your food and take your time when eating. Plan to eat less from the start of your meal.
- Fill half of your plate with fruits and veggies.
- Switch from regular to skim milk.
- Compare sodium in foods such as soup, bread and frozen meals and choose those with lower numbers. Keep an eye out for versions of these foods marked “low sodium.” Soups, in particular, now come in many low-sodium versions.
- Choose water instead of sugary drinks.
