Tired of diets that don’t work? Sick of trying to figure out what to eat — and how to easily prepare it — to stay healthy? Want to finally look and feel better? It’s really not that hard. Here are 5 quick tips that can work for you.

Tip number 1: Sneak in more produce.

How? Make sure each meal contains lots of color as darker hued fruits and vegetables provide the vitamins, minerals, fiber, and phytochemicals your body needs to stay healthy and strong, protect against the effects of aging, and reduce the risk of disease.

How much? Aim for at least one serving at every meal and snack. For example, have a banana with cereal or toast and peanut butter in the morning. Or add blueberries (or any other kind of berry full of antioxidants!) to yogurt with flax seed. Have a bowl of cottage cheese with pineapple and nuts. For lunch, include an orange, pear, grapes, or a peach or any other fruit you can easily throw in a bag and carry. Add lettuce and tomato or spinach or avocado to sandwiches. Have a cup of soup with beans and lots of veggies. For a snack, have apple with cheese, or raisins or other dried fruit (apricot, etc.) with pretzels or nuts, or celery and carrots with hummus. At dinner, start off with a salad or melon, then have steamed broccoli, a baked sweet potato, or stir-fried green beans with your meal. Make a pizza topped with peppers and mushrooms. Be creative! It’s easier than you think!

A serving is one medium-sized whole fruit, half a cup of fresh, frozen, or canned produce, one cup of leafy greens, or a quarter cup of dried fruit.

Tip number 2: Use smaller plates.

Studies consistently show that people — including nutritionists! — unknowingly eat more when given a bigger plate. Using smaller plates, therefore, can help you better control how much you consume.

Tip number 3: Choose whole grains (complex carbohydrates), lean meats and fish (for protein), and healthier fats (poly- and monounsaturated).

Whenever possible, pick whole grains over highly processed grains, cereals, and sugars. Get your grains from foods such as whole wheat, rye, or oat bread, brown rice, whole-grain pasta, and other less familiar grain sources like quinoa, spelt, and bulgur. For protein, make lean choices, such as round or loin steaks and roasts, extra lean ground beef, skinless chicken or duck, and lean roasted turkey. Include fish in your diet, which is rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Vary your meals with vegetarian options like chili with beans, baked beans, rice and beans, veggie burgers, stir-fried tofu, or pea or lentil soup. Cook with oils instead of butter for healthier fats. Limit trans and saturated fats.

Tip number 4: Don’t obsess over calories. And don’t feel bad about satisfying your cravings!

Instead of counting every calorie you consume, pay more attention to your hunger cues. Your body knows what you need! If you’re hungry, eat; when you’re full, stop. If you have a craving for a particular food, don’t deny yourself. You’ll only binge later on. Instead, try satisfying your hunger pang with what you want in small amounts. Or simply opt for healthier selections. Go for hot chocolate instead of a candy bar. For a salty hankering, snack on baked chips instead of fried chips, and have them with salsa or guacamole.

Tip number 5: Don’t skip out on exercise.

It’s a no-brainer. In order to lose weight and keep it off, in addition to improving your diet, it’s juts as important to stay physically active. Get into a routine that you enjoy. When you don’t have time for a formal workout, try to squeeze in at least three 10-minute chunks of physical activity. (Be sure to check with your doctor before starting any exercise routine.)

“You are what you eat” a famous doctor once said. And he was so right. Eat well. Eat an abundance of high protein foods. Keep away from too much sugar, starches, and fats. Take plenty of liquids. Avoid intemperate drinks, creamy rich pastries, fried foods, etc. Remember that your body needs the proper amount and variety of vitamins. Vitamin deficiency often causes run-down conditions, makes you susceptible to colds and illness. A sufficiency of vitamin intake is one of nature’s great safeguards against the premature aging process. Science has shown that vitamin deficiency robs you of vigor and energy. Let us quickly review some of the vitamins that are so important to the human body and list some foods containing these health-building vitamins.

Vitamin A

An early symptom of vitamin A deficiency is night blindness. Many motorists who find it difficult to drive at night may be suffering from vitamin A deficiency. Some times brittle, scaly skin indicates deficiency of vitamin A. You can get enough vitamin A in foods such as spinach, carrots, broccoli, oysters, peaches, chard, apples, cherries, lemons, oranges, prunes, peas, squash, asparagus, string beans, butter, eggs and cheese.

Vitamin B

A deficiency of vitamin B may lead to nervous conditions, poor appetite and malnutrition in children. You can get enough vitamin B in such foods as follows:

Vitamin B1, B2 and Niacin – beef liver and kidneys, fowl, brains, green leafy vegetables, broccoli, corn, peppers, spinach, onions.

Vitamin B1 alone – ham, pork, beef hearts, brown rice, nuts.

Niacin alone (Niacin was originally called vitamin G and is another vitamin in the B complex) – peanuts, pig liver, salmon, kidneys.

Vitamin C

Have you ever seen a person with bleeding gums or a person who feels depressed and tired all the time? He may lack enough vitamin C. Symptoms of vitamin C deficiency appear as swollen gums, sallow complexion, lack of pep. Foods containing vitamin C – citrus fruits, Brussels sprouts, tomatoes, liver, bananas, etc.

Vitamin D

Everybody knows how important vitamin D is to proper bone function. A lack of vitamin D may cause soft and weak bones that might easily break or fracture in tough sports competition, or in defending yourself against an assailant. You can get plenty of vitamin D from sunshine, milk, fish, egg yolks, fish-liver oils, butter, and cream.

Fuel for the Human Machine

Just as an automobile needs gasoline to run, the human machine needs energy to operate. The foods fed into the body provide the energy to run the human machine. In addition to furnishing the fuel or human energy, food has another major purpose. It is used for the growth and repair of tissues. Chemical analyses of foods contain carbohydrates, fats, proteins, minerals and water. Carbohydrates consist of starches and sugars. They are the chief source of human energy. Sugars are digested fast and provide quick pep and energy. Ex-GI’s of the Second World War will remember that chocolate bars were always included in their K and C rations for quick pick-up energy!

Starches are found in bread, potatoes, cakes, and macaroni. They certainly satisfy hunger pangs fast. But these foods don’t contain enough vitamins, and a diet exclusively of starchy foods leads to overweight and should be shunned by people not engaged in heavy work. The proteins are used primarily for the repair and growth of tissues. Eat foods with high protein content – milk, fish, eggs, and lean meats.

The essential fatty acids that are found in fish oils have become main stage in the treatment of eczema, as there is an ever growing connection between omega 3 and eczema. In fact, not only are Fish Oils containing omega-3 popular for only helping in heart health, they are also recommended for such skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema. Many research scientists and medical professionals are now under the belief that it is from a deficiency in these essential fatty acids that are contributing to omega 3 and eczema, psoriasis and other skin diseases.

Omega 3 and eczema, psoriasis and other skin disorders have been conclusively connected in many studies that have been done throughout the world. The deficiency in omega 3 and other essential fatty acids is thought to be caused by the over processing and steroid induced foods that are typically consumed in today’s society. When our foods are over processed they lose much of their original nutrition content and this directly correlates with the deficiencies found in today’s society and the connection between omega 3 and eczema.

Omega 3 and Eczema Facts

There are a few factors that play a role in the connection between omega 3 and eczema such as the fact that our bodies are incapable of creating omega 3 and the essential fatty acids that our bodies require. For that fact is the very reason that we have to introduce these fatty acids through our diets and unfortunately most of our foods are completely saturated with the fatty acids that are not healthy for us.

It is believed that over 100 million people in the United States alone suffer from eczema an overwhelming 25 million more suffer from psoriasis and another 5 million more suffer from some form of allergic skin reaction from unknown sources. That is an astonishing number of people that clearly suffer from a deficiency in omega 3 essential fatty acids. In order to maintain healthy skin it is imperative to recognize the importance of omega 3 and eczema because once you see the connection, you can typically begin to reverse it.

In order to correct and stabilize the deficiency of omega 3 and eczema skin problems, it is recommended that you consume a healthy balance of omega 3 and omega 6 and as a generality, today’s society consumes on average 20:1 ratio. That means that we are consuming 20 parts of unhealthy fats to one part of essential fatty acids.
