A healthy diet can help protect against chronic diseases and improve your overall health. Here are some tips
.Eat a variety of foods: Include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, fish, eggs, meat, and dairy in your diet. Reduce unhealthy fats and sugars: Cut down on saturated and industrially-produced trans-fats, and limit your intake of salt and sugar. Eat more fiber: Base meals on higher fiber starchy carbohydrates like potatoes, bread, rice, or pasta. Drink plenty of fluids: Try to drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of fluids a day. Maintain a healthy weight: Eating a healthy diet and being active can help you manage your weight. Plan your meals: Make a grocery list and stick to it. Buy in bulk: Avoid single portions of snacks and yogurt, and instead buy in bulk and divide into smaller portions. Buy seasonal fruits and vegetables: They are usually cheaper when they are in season. Choose lower-fat dairy options: Swap whole milk for semi skimmed milk or 1 per cent fat milk, and choose low or reduced fat versions of cheese and yogurts. Add protein to your meals: Canned beans are a good source of protein and cost less than meat and fish
