Ensure A Balanced Diet With These Nutrition-Related Tips
Doing what is right for your body in terms of nutrition is probably one of the most prudent decisions you can make. Unfortunately, it does not come very easily. With so many options, and so much misinformation out there, it can be quite the challenge. This article will seek to facilitate that challenge.
Try buying your fruits and vegetables at a farmer's market near you. Not only do locally-grown foods have a minimal impact on the environment, but they are also better for you, since small farms generally use less harmful chemicals. It's fun to walk around and sample all the delicious fruits and vegetables. Converse with the farmers to ensure you know exactly where and how the food was produced.

If you are hosting a luncheon, and you desire to keep the food as healthy as possible, consider serving a healthy version of tuna salad. Tuna is low in calories, rich in protein, and is a great choice for getting omega-3 fatty acids. Purchase a few cans of white beans, and puree the beans in a blender. Once pureed, mix the beans with Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise, and combine both mixtures with the tuna. Instantly, you have made a healthier version of tuna salad that will go a long way in serving a large gathering.
Substitute slices of fresh raw vegetables for potato chips. Sometimes, when you have the munchies, nothing will do except something crunchy. Potato chips are not a healthy choice! Slice up some celery, squash, zucchini, cucumber or whatever other crunchy vegetables you can find. Add some low calorie salad dressing and munch away!
