Toward a Healthier You! In todays fast paced world, it is sometime very hard for women to eat healthy in light of family obligations and long work schedules. We put our needs last and that often means that our diet gets overlooked. Here are some tips on how to incorporate good eating into your busy life. 1) First, never go without eating breakfast. It does not need to be a sit down meal. A banana and healthy breakfast bar will do the trick. Fruit and yogurt takes no time to eat and you are getting good fuel into the body to get the day started. The bars I like are Soy Joy, Cliff or Luna; they have lots of protein, fiber and are low in sugar. 2) Try to get a salad in your diet at least once daily. Fresh veggies are packed with fiber, vitamins and nutrition. And they are more and more available as takeout or on restaurant menus. 3) Fruit makes a great daily snack for women on the go because its portable. Right now the summer fruits are sweet and taste great. A ripe nectarine, a slice of watermelon, a bowl of berries are delicious and chock full of anti-oxidants and many other things that are good for you. 4) Keep portions of low fat protein on hand. Chicken, turkey and fish are great. Protein makes you feel full and you will not have the urges to eat junk food after eating protein. 5) Stay away from the drive-thru window. While fast food restaurants now offer better options its too easy to make a poor choice and consume a lot of fat and white flour. Being time starved is no excuse. Take it from me, eating healthy will make you feel terrific every day.
