Switch to Healthy eating

It’s January 9, 2010 and I am sure a lot of you are following your New Year’s resolutions of eating healthier and exercising! For those of you that have not gotten off to a good start, don’t worry. Every day is a new day and you can start today!

My Culin8 blog is going to focus on healthy food preparation and healthy eating.
Here are some ideas to implement into your daily diet;

• Prepare more food at home and eat out less
I challenge all of you to prepare more food at home, instead of eating out. You will cut down on your intake of sodium and fat (and of course save money).

• Take your lunch to work
For example, I prepare my lunch at home the night before I go to work. If you have a refrigerator and toaster at work, you can take your food and prepare it at work.

• Eat more vegetables and fruit every day
I encourage you to think about eating vegetables or fruit with your meals—and eat them first. By eating vegetables and fruit first, you will fill up on your healthy choices first.

• Eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Your metabolism needs to be fed to work, which helps burn calories. Breakfast can be simple so don’t skip it! Even if you only eat a banana, ½ an apple, yogurt, cottage cheese or a bowl of grape nuts you are well on your way to a good day!
