10 Ways To Instantly Start Eating Healthier

CollectiveEvolution

The best strategy for eating healthier is to begin eating more of the foods which are healthy. This gives your body time to transition and slowly adjust –saving you the feelings of deprivation and sudden headaches that may occur with drastic detoxing or dieting. As you continue to eat more of the healthy foods, you will naturally need less of the unhealthy foods and some small tricks that might take a bit of motivation now will soon become effortless routines. So, here are my top 10 strategies to easily incorporating more wholesome nutrition into your diet:

#1 – Add Extra Nutrition

There are a lot of seeds, nuts and food supplements packed with nutrition, which you can easily add to your meals. For example:

• Sprinkle some chia seeds onto your morning cereal or lunch salad: just 1 tablespoon contains roughly 10% of recommended daily intake of calcium, 20% of dietary fiber and 8 times more omega-3 than salmon! It is also as high in antioxidants as blueberries.

• Add flaxseed oil to your side of vegetables or salad dressing – it has 6 times more omega-3 than most fish-oils and a simple teaspoon can provide the full recommended daily dose.

• You can also add brewer’s yeast to salad, soup or homemade popcorn – 2 tablespoons provide 90% of your daily needs of Selenium, 50% of Copper, 50% of Niacin, 40% of vitamin B6, 30% of protein and other vitamins and minerals!

#2 – Shift To Various Whole Grains

Try wholegrain pasta or better yet, buckwheat pasta. Instead of white rice, go for brown or red rice. Beside some new exciting flavors (red rice is best with fish), you will gain far more nutrition since the majority of minerals and fiber is contained in the shell of the grain. The extra fiber helps you feel satiated and eat less while also being crucial for bowel function and digestion.

#3 – Get Some Raw Foods

While some nutrients are actually present in higher quantities in cooked food (e.g. beta-carotene and lycopene), cooked food and pasteurized juices lose high amounts of their vitamin C and enzymes which aid digestion and the absorption of nutrients. Therefore, it’s highly beneficial to eat more raw salads, fresh juices and raw snacks.

#4 – Add More Sides

Besides eating more raw fruits and green salads, you can further improve your diet by adding more vegetables or vegetable sides to any meal. You love steak? Next time you have one, try it with a double portion of spinach and asparagus. Lasagna fan? Then try adding an extra layer of vegetables to it. The more vegetables you add to your meals, the less refined carbs or meat you are going to eat.
