Eight tips for healthy eating

By UGAH MATHEW -

Here are eight essential tips for healthy eating:

1. Eat a Balanced Diet

Include a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats in your meals to get all essential nutrients.

2. Control Portion Sizes

Avoid overeating by using smaller plates, measuring portions, and stopping when you feel full.

3. Eat More Fruits and Vegetables

Aim for at least 5 portions of fruits and vegetables daily—they’re packed with vitamins, minerals, and fiber.

4. Choose Whole Grains

Replace refined grains with whole grains like brown rice, whole wheat bread, and oats for better digestion and energy.

5. Cut Down on Sugar and Salt

Limit added sugars (in sodas, sweets) and excess salt (in processed foods) to reduce the risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease.

6. Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to support digestion, metabolism, and overall health.

7. Eat Healthy Fats

Include good fats from avocados, nuts, seeds, olive oil, and fatty fish, and avoid trans fats found in fried and processed foods.

8. Plan Your Meals and Avoid Skipping

Skipping meals can lead to overeating later. Stick to regular, balanced meals to keep your energy stable.
