Did you know there are simple food fixes you can add to your daily diet that will help you feel better? These are delicious will support the health of your entire body.

Consume Less Sugar

Drink plenty of water and fewer (or no) sweetened drinks. This includes sweetened juices, soda, sweet tea, and other sugary treats. Be aware of the sugar content of the foods you eat. Check labels; even foods that don’t need sugar often have had sugars added. Excess sugar adds empty calories, messes up your metabolism and insulin regulation, and increases your risk of a wide variety of health issues.

Eat More Plants

Fresh fruits and vegetables are great for your entire body. They are low in unhealthy fats, high in fiber, and full of vitamins, nutrients, and antioxidants. The fiber in them helps clean your teeth and regulate your digestion. An easy way to make sure you are getting well-rounded nutrition is to choose a variety of colors in your vegetables and fruits. Choose whole grains for your bread and cereals.

Eat Dairy and Eggs

Dairy products are low in sugar and high in calcium, potassium, vitamin D, and protein.

Choose Whole Grains
