I always forget this most important part of eating healthy!!

 

My mind boggles as to what some people tag "healthy" these days! I guess everyone has their own definition and knowledge (however limited) as to what is "healthy".. To me healthy means fresh.. lots of vegetables.. protein and minimal carbs or complex whole carbs.. No refined or artificial ingredients and wholesome foods that will sustain you and help your body repair and fuel itself..

 

Wikipedia says..

"Health food" is sometimes used as an umbrella term encompassing natural foods, organic foods, whole foods, and sometimes dietary supplements.

A healthy diet involves consuming appropriate amounts of all essential nutrients and an adequate amount of water.

 Additionally, "health food" is sometimes used in contrast with "junk food", which may be high in calories but has little other nutritional value

 

Swapping simple things like white bread for a whole grain bread like pumkin seed or soy linseed!

Full fat milk to Low fat, soy or Almond milk

Soda and excessive juice to water

Frozen vegetables for fresh!

Lower your saturated fat intake! eg. fried foods, cheeses and pastries

Seriously consider how much sugar is hidden in the small things like milkshakes, flavoured lattes, fruit juices, "low fat" products and muesli bars!!

Small changes can have the biggest impact =)

 

Healthy part of the groceries.. haha
