There is no secret to healthy eating. Be sure to eat a variety of foods,
including plenty of vegetables, fruits, and whole grain products. Also
include low-fat dairy products, lean meats, poultry, fish, and legumes.
Drink lots of water and go easy on the salt, sugar, alcohol, and saturated
fat. Good nutrition should be part of an overall healthy lifestyle, that
also includes regular physical activity, not smoking, and stress
management. If you drink alcoholic beverages, do so in moderation. Here
are some tips for healthy eating at home, work, and elsewhere to help you
get started. Try some of these ideas.
