 Healthy Eating Tips

What is healthy eating? 

The great news is all foods can fit in a healthy diet! The keys are moderation, proper portion size, and balancing your diet with daily physical activity.  

Nutrition Tips

• Begin nutrient-rich.  Start your meal with nutrient-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, and salads. Then move on to the main course and side dishes.
• Eat the rainbow.  Choose a variety of colors of fruits and vegetables. Different colors contain different vitamins and minerals. See how many colors you can eat each day!
• Focus on whole foods. Whole foods tend to be more nutrient-rich than processed foods. Nutrient-rich foods are those that contain the most vitamins and minerals per calorie.
• Explore new foods. Try a new fruit or use a different herb to season your meal. Try cooking vegetables a new way or give one that you didn't like as a kid another chance. Taste buds change as we age, so you might just find that now you really like those beets you hated in grade school!

Physical Activity Tips

• Break it up. You can break up your physical activity into 10-15 minute sessions throughout the day - it's the daily total that matters!
• Have fun. Choose activities you enjoy and you'll be more likely to stick with them.
• Make a plan.  Make time to be active. Walk to a coworker's office or friend's house/dorm room rather than sending an e-mail, text, or calling.
• Schedule time for activity. Thomas Jefferson said, "Leave all the afternoon for exercise and recreation, which are as necessary as reading. I will rather say more necessary because health is worth more than learning." Just as you schedule time for classes and studying, schedule time in your day for physical activity.
• Be Creative. Being physically active is not limited to time spent in the gym. Exaggerate movements as you clean your house, do some outside spring cleaning - or offer to help your neighbor if you don't have a yard!
