Choose fruits and vegetables. Healthy diet must include vitamins and nutrients (besides the fact that it must be balanced). The easiest way to stick to a healthy diet-eating lots of fruits and vegetables. They are rich in nutrients, but not calories, this means that you can eat as many fruits and vegetables, without hurting your waistline and health. And, of course, than fresh fruits and vegetables are, the better!
Almost all fruits and vegetables are good for health but some of them, perhaps more useful than others. If you really want to focus on the gifts of mother nature, add to your diet cabbage, spinach, carrots, celery, cranberries, blueberries and pineapple. [1]. All colors of the Rainbow in your basket!

Opt out of recycled products. If the products are in the package, they will not do you a favor. And if this package has been used for many years, such products even more harmful. It turns out the food and drug administration doesn't even govern the overall composition, which is included in them, and your body does not regulate supplements! They are not even recognized as a food. Your body just stores them, not knowing what to do with them. The food and Drug Administration also does not regulate all of the labels on the products. Words and phrases such as "natural product", "without additives", and "environmentally friendly product" are simple statements of the company. So, think before you buy something packaged.

Cook is the right choice. Since you refused the processed foods, you will inevitably find yourself in the kitchen, and finally, use the knowledge gained after watching the cooking gear. Cooking is perfect for your budget, your skills and your waistline, but here are a couple of things to keep in mind:
If possible eat foods raw. Frozen and canned vegetables are very useful, but in raw form they will bring much more rewarding. Because nutrients were not lost during processing.
Use the correct oils such as olive or sunflower oil. They are filled with good fats. Do the same with the cheeses, oils and spreads-try to find a lighter version of these products.
Avoid fried and breaded foods. Chicken is useful for you, but not if it with breadcrumbs, obžarena in fat butter and poured sweet spices.
Do not salt your food! American Association for combating cardiovascular diseases recommends that you do not exceed your salt intake by more than 1.500 mg per day. It sounds completely doable, until you realize that in one teaspoon contains 2300 mg. [2]
