Healthy eating is all about what's right for you. You need to make good healthy choices that fit into your stage of life and lifestyle. The dietary guidelines for Americans offer bottom-line advice and are the most current thinking of today's health professionals. Decisions you can control over a lifetime can promote your health and quality of life. The sooner you start the better.
All foods fit into a healthful eating plan.
Make sure you consider variety, balance and moderation as keys to eating healthy. It is important to eat a wide variety of foods because no one food or food group supplies all the nutrients your body needs. Each week try one new food or recipe. When eating out, order something you've never tried before. Having a good balance of your nutrient intake means eating enough, but not too much.
