Choosing the right foods isn’t just about losing weight. Following a healthy diet will also help you eat more nutrient-rich foods, such as fruits and vegetables, which are loaded with fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
We often forget that what we put into our mouths is meant to nourish and fuel our bodies. But this is an important lesson to remember and practice daily.
The next time you select something to eat, don’t just consider the calories and fat; think about what it’s going to do for your body. Will it energize you or give you a sugar high that ends in an energy crisis? Is it rich in nutrients or loaded with artery-clogging saturated fats?
Asking yourself what your food can do for you will help you make the right choices for your health, which in turn will benefit your waistline.
