We all know that eating healthful foods is a must for a healthier body. Eating nutritious fruits and veggies regularly is pretty much important and is a must for everyone. With vast information we can find around the internet, knowing what healthful foods to eat (aside from regular fruits and veggies) is “as easy as pie”.

But, knowing WHAT to consume or eat daily is not the whole story. You should also know HOW and WHEN to consume a certain food, dish or drink. It will help you to maximize the kind of nutrients, vitamins and minerals you can get from the foods you chose to eat. With the eating tips I laid out below, I am pretty sure you will eat in a healthier way than before. So if you wanted to know how to eat the proper and healthier way, read on below.

Don’t Skip Breakfast

Much has been said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Right breakfast foods can give the kind of energy you need for the whole day. Starting your day or morning with oatmeal or whole wheat bread with cheese along side with fresh fruits works best. Breakfasts can make or break your day so don’t skip it eat make sure to eat only the right foods in the morning.

Make A Food Diary, Journal Or Blog

Making a list of foods you or you will eat in a certain day or week works best, especially for those people who are into weight loss program. It will give you an idea on how much protein, calories and carbohydrate you already consumed or you have to consume in any given day. No matter where you put it, either in a traditional food diary or at a food and diet blog, it’s pretty much helpful for you to track down the kind of foods and dish you/you will eat.

Drink More Water

I think I don’t have to state down in here the benefits you can get from drinking lots of water daily. Drinking water regularly not only refreshes and re-hydrates your body but also makes it easier for you to consume and absorb the nutrients each and every food you eat can offer. For every food you eat, make sure to follow it up with a cool and refreshing tall glass of water.

Eat Slowly

Eating slowly is a problem for many especially for busy people who only have few hours of break in between their work. Eating slowly can help you to eat less. Slow eating also means you have to chew and cut down the foods at their finest pieces thus making it easier for your tummy to digest process and absorb. Whatever foods you have, eating them in a slow manner can do good things (for you) in the long run.

Eat And Prepare Your Fruits And Veggies According To The Season

If its summer, eating habits with fresh fruits like peaches, apples, melons, watermelons and cherries is truly enjoyable and nutritious. During winter or fall, you can prepare soups with cabbage, carrots, squash and tomatoes. Not only you are able to consume food in a suitable and acceptable manner but also you are able to get the kind of vitamins and minerals you need.

Don’t Wait Hunger To Remind You To Eat

You won’t hear or read this kind of tip regularly at any other article relating to food advice. For me, eating in an interval of 3 to 4 hours with healthful snacks helps me to eat less. If you will take notice, when hunger strikes us, we tend to consume more food than we can imagine. You can avoid over-eating by preventing hunger to occur and eating snacks (slices of fruits, crackers and breads works best) in a timely manner.

Balance Your Meal, Practice Portion Control

Always measure and take control of the kind of foods you consume. Even though they are healthy and quite nutritious, eating those in large volume can do harm than good. Make sure to consume your healthful foods and drinks in an acceptable and righteous manner all the time. Always remember, anything that is too much won’t do any good.
