Takeaway
Taking accountability for your life, among other aspects, means also considering what to eat and which nutrition patterns you should follow.
People should think more about what they put on their plates and which ingredients they should avoid. Food will never be a drug or medication, like a painkilling tablet that reduces pain in a short amount of time, for example.
But proper nutrition is our ally in preventing diseases and maintaining balance in our minds and bodies. By following a healthy diet, physiological homeostasis can be managed, and recovery from illness is faster.
And for those who say that eating healthy is expensive, that’s also considered a nutrition myth! Here are some helpful tips for a healthier diet, that won’t break the bank:
- Planning your meals and snacks around sales.
- In-season shopping, especially with fruits and veggies.
- Make a shopping list… and REALLY stick to what’s on it!
- When on sale, stock up on staples: brown rice, whole-wheat pasta, dried beans, and lentils.
- Only buy frozen or canned fruits and vegetables as alternatives to fresh products. But check the ingredient list to avoid items with added sugars or salt.
