Here are the time-tested 33 awesome Healthy eating tips that has boost the immunity and good
health of millions of people.
Some processed food is convenient
and tasty, but a proportion of the calories in it comes from highly refined
carbohydrates, which can increase the risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes.
Nuts are a good source of
protein, fibre and minerals, and contain beneficial fats that can help reduce
cholesterol and aid weight loss.
Choose one portion of nuts a day
to help you stay satisfied without eating too much.
According to the latest figures,
the average British adult eats around 20 per cent of his or her recommended
daily allowance of nuts, such as almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts and peanuts.

to help you stay satisfied without eating too much
Whole grains such as brown rice,
whole wheat bread, quinoa and oats provide fibre and nutrients. However, most
people don't eat enough.
A few small amounts, say a
serving of wholegrain rice, one cup of brown rice, a 100g portion of oats, a
150g portion of quinoa or a 50g portion of bran cereals can provide the
majority of the fibre and nutrients people need.
Eat at least 2 portions of whole
grains a day. For example, you could serve brown rice for breakfast, with a
handful of whole meal toast, then half a banana or one apple with your lunch, or
a bowl of quinoa with a salad for supper.
Eat at least 2 portions of whole
grains a day, such as brown rice, whole wheat bread, quinoa and oats
You don't have to go to the gym
to get fit, but if you work out at home, you could do some gentle exercise,
such as yoga, or aerobic exercises, such as walking, to help you lose weight.
Do 10 minutes' exercise in the
morning or in the evening.
The more vegetables you eat the
lower your risk of obesity. Aim to eat two portions of fruit and two of veg a
day, such as a banana or a small apple.
Good sources of veg include
broccoli, carrots, beans and peas.
Aim to eat a couple of portions
of veg a day for a healthy diet. Carrots are high in vitamin C, and also
contain fiber and manganese.
You can eat this for a nutritious
start to your day – you will still get all the protein, vitamins and minerals
you need.
Oatmeal is naturally sweet, and
many people find it refreshing to start the day.
Try making oatmeal with milk and
raisins.
A bowl of oatmeal is a healthy,
nutritious start to the day. You can mix this with milk or yoghurt and sprinkle
cinnamon on top to make it even more satisfying
Fruits are full of vitamins and
minerals – and are tasty, too.
Choose seasonal fruit – berries
are in season in the summer – and eat it raw or in a fruit salad, or place it
in your food processor with banana, coconut milk and vanilla extract for a
delicious smoothie.
Keep an eye on sugar content.
Apple juice has about four teaspoons of sugar per glass. Or avoid juice
altogether.
You can have a second helping of
vegetables or starch, if the main meal doesn't contain too much of it.
To do this, add half a portion of
vegetables or half a portion of starch. It will make the meal more filling, and
cut down on calories.
For example, you could make a
vegetable risotto with half a cup of broccoli, cauliflower and asparagus, or
mash up two mashed potatoes to make two portions.
Or make a double portion of
mashed potatoes and call it a day.
The double portion in this
example adds almost no additional calories and only about 10 per cent more
carbohydrates.
A few tablespoons of natural or
sugar-free sweetener, such as Swerve (available from health shops or online) or
Equal, sprinkled on top of your coffee, can reduce calories without adding
flavour or losing the benefits of the caffeine.
Remember that you can't
substitute the calories in fruit, for calories in your morning coffee.
Try using Swerve (available from
health shops or online) or Equal, which can be used as a sugar substitute to
reduce calories in your morning coffee
It may sound like an awful lot
but water is an essential component of a healthy diet. It makes up 70 per cent
of your body weight.
But most people don't drink
enough water, especially in the morning.
According to the US Dietary
Guidelines for Americans, you should aim to drink a glass or two of water or
sparkling mineral water with each meal and snack.
Try adding one glass of water or
sparkling mineral water to your breakfast or tea.
You will also get a boost of
hydration, which helps maintain good health and can help you lose weight.
Another way to enjoy your favorite fruit in a more satisfying way is to make a mixed fruit bowl.
This is delicious with a
sprinkling of pumpkin seeds, ground flaxseed or mixed seeds, and some ground
cinnamon.
Suffering from a bloated belly?
Many cereals and toast make us fat because they are loaded with carbs and
sugar.
They often have a high glycaemic
index (GI) which means they release energy quickly into our bloodstream and
cause a sudden spike in blood sugar, which is followed by a sharp decline.
How to cut back on carbs
- Limit your portion sizes
- Cut back on bread
- Eat toast only once a day
- Limit the quantity of carbohydrates in a meal
- Try a high protein breakfast meal
- Cut out rice and pasta
- Choose wholegrain breakfast cereal
- Avoid yoghurt in moderation
- Choose low sugar toppings
- Avoid eggs and bacon
- Choose protein packed breakfasts
- Choose egg or a boiled egg as a protein packed breakfast
If you think a slice of toast
will hit the spot, have a single slice instead of a slice of toast with honey,
spread, and avocado.
You should also avoid bread in
restaurants. When you eat bread at a restaurant you are eating more carbs than
you would at home.
One slice of bread has up to 60g
of carbs and up to 500 calories. It's also often served with butter or
mayonnaise, which is high in calories.
A ham, cheese and tomato sandwich
has more than twice the amount of calories of bread.
Instead, eat sandwiches with
sliced avocado and hummus, which has a high protein and fat content and is also
low in carbs.
You can also eat whole meal bread
and avoid spreads such as mustard.
Eggs are one of the best sources
of high quality protein, they are a great source of vitamin D and contain fiber.
Eggs are a great protein source
and contain good amounts of B vitamins and vitamin D
The amount of cholesterol in an
egg is low and they are also rich in vitamin A, vitamin C and iron, which
provide important nutrients for eye, bone and teeth health.
14. Boost your veg
Avocado is one of the most versatile fruits available, and
it is a tasty and nutritious snack choice
Avocados are packed with vitamins, minerals and healthy fats
and are very low in carbohydrates.
It is also packed with good amount of fiber, and great for
satiating your hunger.
They are high in potassium and contain the monounsaturated
fats which can help lower cholesterol.
They are also high in vitamin E, making them a great source
of antioxidant.
You can eat a small salad and avo, which is low in fat and
high in nutrients, for a healthy snack.
You can also munch on nuts like almonds or cashews to give
you some high quality protein, fibre and healthy fats.
Muesli is made with oats and berries, which are high in
fibre and low in carbohydrates.
You can add yogurt and granola for added protein, and add
some oats or granola for extra fibre.
These healthy foods are low in calories, but provide you
with good amount of nutrients, without many calories.
To cut down on carbs, try putting nuts on top of a salad or
adding protein balls to a muesli bar.
15. Cut down on salt
Salt helps the body absorb the nutrients it needs.
It is also needed to help your body to absorb water, which
makes you retain less water.
The more water you retain, the more you will store on your
body.
Even just one teaspoon of salt is enough to help reduce
water retention by an average of 20 per cent.
You can either choose smaller, more high-quality types of
salts such as sea salts, or you can swap salt for pepper or flavored salt.
16. Try beans
Beans are a good source of dietary fiber, protein, vitamins
and minerals.
They are a great source of vitamin B, folate, protein, iron,
magnesium, calcium, phosphorus and zinc, all of which can be used to help to
support healthy bone development in growing children.
But beans are also very high in calories, so don't eat more
than one cup cooked or two cups cooked and cooled
It's important to remember that beans are high in calories
and you should only eat as much as you need, as portion sizes can easily be
larger than you think.
So, you can be eating more than one cup cooked or two cups
cooked and cooled.
To cut down on carbs, try putting beans on top of a salad,
or adding hummus to a muesli bar.
17. Try cashew milk
Beans are high in dietary fiber and low in carbs, which can
be used to make a nutritious drink called cashew milk
Beans are high in dietary fiber and low in carbs, which can
be used to make a nutritious drink called cashew milk.
Cashew milk can be used in recipes such as a latte, in
soups, on cereal or as a base for baking.
It's gluten-free and low in calories and this can be a great
alternative to cow's milk.
18. Swap your granola for flaxseed
Flaxseed can help your heart and it can be eaten in many
ways
Flaxseed can help your heart and it can be eaten in many
ways.
You can spread it on bread, top your cereal with it,
sprinkle it on salad, sprinkle it on steamed vegetables, mix it with yogurt or
add it to sauces for chicken or fish.
The mixture is also quite versatile and can be added to
smoothies to help you achieve a nutritional bost.
19. Choose avocados

weight.
Salami and cooked chicken tend to go hand in hand, but you
can still eat some sort of protein without eating a lot of fat or carbs
Salami and cooked chicken tend to go hand in hand, but you
can still eat some sort of protein without eating a lot of fat or carbs.
People often fear they will taste different or the nutrients
won't be as good, but this is just not true.
As long as you don't overcook it, serve it at room
temperature and enjoy with a great salad.
21. Eat red meat sparingly
Don't eat too much meat, as you'll just want to eat more and
more, not because the nutrients are better, but because you're just eating too
much meat
Meat contains high amounts of saturated fat, and for many
people, especially those trying to lose weight, it may seem like the only
choice.
But too much saturated fat can cause heart disease and
cancer, and if eaten in excess, can lead to a high cholesterol count.
A diet high in saturated fat can lead to a build up of fatty
deposits in the arteries, making the heart work harder.
An intake of more than 30g a day can be toxic and
potentially lethal.
So, don't eat more than 500 calories worth of meat a day,
whether it's red, white or processed meat, and remember to eat at least one
serving of fish.
22. Eat organic meat and dairy products
Organic meat and dairy products have been certified to
maintain the highest standards of animal welfare, nutrition and environment.
The certification process makes sure that the meat, dairy
and eggs have been produced in a way that guarantees that the animals are not
being harmed or injured in the course of their production.
The best way to ensure the high standards of animal welfare,
nutrition and environment is to buy meat, dairy and eggs certified to organic
standards.
23. Make chicken sausages and burgers in the oven
Chicken sausages and burgers are a healthier alternative to
sausages and other meat
Buying chicken sausages and burgers in the supermarket is a
no brainer, but cooking them in the oven is much healthier.
Many people like to grill their sausages or burgers, but
this is a high fat method that will result in calories and fat that will be
hard to burn off.
24. Add beans to your curry
The addition of beans to curries is a great way to make your
meal healthier and give you more protein to keep you fuller for longer
Adding beans to your curry is a great way to make your meal
healthier and give you more protein to keep you fuller for longer.
The addition of beans to curries is a great way to make your
meal healthier and give you more protein.
A typical curry may have one or two servings of meat or
fish, along with three to four portions of vegetables.
Yet, people commonly opt for the meat, not the vegetables,
thinking it's the healthy option.
Adding beans will help to balance out the meal and help to
avoid excessive carbohydrate consumption, while giving you a boost of protein,
as well as vital nutrients like iron, calcium, vitamin B6 and magnesium.
25. Substitute ground almonds for butter
Almonds are a great way to add nutritious nuts to your diet,
and are a great source of healthy fats, protein and fiber
Ground almonds are a great way to add nutritious nuts to
your diet, and are a great source of healthy fats, protein and fiber.
However, unlike butter, ground almonds tend to be low in
calories, because they have the highest content of unsaturated fats, the type
that are good for your heart and can improve brain function.
It is often the case that unsaturated fats are much lower in
protein than animal fats, so if you want to use ground almonds, you can replace
half of the butter in a recipe with the unsaturated version.
26. opt for low fat yoghurt
Yoghurt is a high protein and low calorie snack that is
great for people with diabetes or those following a weight loss diet.
Low fat or non-fat versions, in either natural or flavored
varieties, are a good choice, but non-fat yoghurt usually contains more sugar
than the normal kind, and often added added sugars or artificial sweeteners to
make it taste better.
Instead, get a top quality non-fat version that is made from
natural ingredients.
The sugar or artificial sweetener that you add to make your
taste buds tingle is very harmful for your health and can cause blood sugar
levels to climb or, more importantly, crash.
Shopping in Bulk
It is often the case that fruit and vegetables are sold in
different, sometimes confusingly labelled, lots.
Many people think it is better to buy the biggest lots
available and eat their way through them.
However, buying in bulk will allow you to plan your meals,
save money and ensure that you get exactly what you need for a healthy, varied
diet.

get the nutrients you need
Buying your own fruit and veg is another way to ensure you
get the nutrients you need.
If you have an allotment, it is important to provide the
most nutritious food for your plants.
Before you put your seeds in the ground, it is a good idea
to have the soil in good condition.
Grinding up soil to the right consistency will encourage
roots to grow stronger.
To grow high quality, healthy crops, it's best to grow them
in an area that is at the same temperature as your body.
If you don't have an allotment, you can grow your own in a
raised bed, or a container on your kitchen window ledge.
29. Buy seasonal veg
Vegetables purchased from the supermarket will taste best
when they are harvested at the right time
Buying vegetables from the supermarket will taste best when
they are harvested at the right time.
Some crops need to be at the height of their development,
ready to eat straight away, while others only appear at certain times.
If you shop at a discount retailer, like Aldi, there is a
chance that you will have fresher, local produce.
You can also avoid large retailers, where fruit and
vegetables are packaged, packed for long distances and are often stored on high
shelves, meaning that bacteria can cause disease.
This type of produce can be contaminated with pests and
viruses that you wouldn't have to worry about if your vegetables and fruit was
bought from the local market.
30. Eat fruit and vegetables with every meal
When you eat a nutritious breakfast, fruit and vegetables
will help make you feel full for longer, therefore encouraging you to eat less
during the day.
'Eating fruit and vegetables is like an investment in your
health,' says Camilla Rees, head of health promotion at Diabetes UK. 'They help
you feel fuller for longer and are a great source of nutrients.'
