▶ Eat all 3 nutritious meals and healthy snacks. Also reduce sugar, salt and coffee. Eat a good healthy breakfast (don’t skip it). Eat right and pack healthy food and snacks. Eat more grains, 3 portions of vegetables and 2 of fruits a day. These are a great source of vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants for a healthy food living. Use herbs and spices (such as coriander, ginger, turmeric, garlic and onion powder). For snacks, consider nuts, fruit, veggies, hummus, and healthy drinks. Limit fats, especially saturated and trans-fats.
Did you know that potassium helps the body to maintain fluid and electrolyte balances in the cells, which helps control blood pressure? Banana are one of the best sources of potassium and give you immediate energy. Eat healthy protein foods. Protein sources may include seafood, lean meats, eggs, milk/dairy, nuts and seeds. Consider replacing ground beef with beans or ground turkey, which is a leaner option to reduce saturated fats. Beans, lentils, chickpeas, and soybeans add fiber and nutrients to the diet.

Reduce sugar. Use honey instead of sugar. Or if you want something with less calories, you might want to go with sugar substitutes. They are sweeter than white sugar, so you won’t need as much of them.
Drink lots of water throughout the day and especially when you’re active. Add lemon, other fruit slices, berries or mint for more flavor. Just don’t add sugary drink mixes or reach for cola when you want to live a healthy food life. Institute of Medicine of the National Academies recommends 91 ounces for women and 125 ounces for men daily. Drink less coffee. Limit coffee to 1-2 cups of coffee per day. Consider caffeine-free coffee.
Cut back on the salt, which is made of two minerals, sodium and chloride. To do so, eat out less and avoid canned foods. AHA recommends an ideal limit of no more than 1,500mg per day.
