As the saying goes, “we are what we eat.” To maintain a healthy lifestyle, you have to be careful about what you eat. Here are food tips that enhance health and wellness.

Make fruits and vegetables a large part of your daily diet. They are low in calories and contain fiber, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Having a daily minimum of five servings of fruits and vegetables will curb your craving for unhealthy foods and snacks.

Eggs are a low-calorie food that improves your mental acuity and vision with the lutein and zeaxanthin in the yolk. For meat, choose meats and cuts with little fat, like lamb and chicken breasts.

Consume fish rich in proteins and omega-3 fatty acids, like salmon, trout, and tuna. Omega-3 is a healthy fat that boosts emotional health and reduces heart disease risk. Sardines and shrimps are also healthy fish that are rich in protein and micronutrients.

Beans, such as green beans and kidney beans, and lentils are foods high in protein, vitamins, and fiber. They help the digestive system, reduce cholesterol, and control blood sugar.

For energy-providing carbohydrates, you can take unrefined brown rice, whole grains, barley, sweet potatoes, bran flakes, and oats.
