Keeping It Simple
# 1.
As a general rule, limit regular consumption of food with ingredients whose name you cannot pronounce.
# 2.
It is far better to develop healthy habits in infancy and childhood than to be forced to make make major dietary changes in adulthood.
# 3.
Follow an 80:20 rule where 80% of your dietary choices are based on promoting health and wellness while 20% is for pleasure.Â
# 4.
Even when eating for pleasure try to make intentional and wise choices: natural, un-processed whole foods over unhealthy, heavily processed alternatives.
# 5.
A healthy diet is just one piece of a puzzle that also includes appropriate levels of activity and the right mental approach to life.Â
# 6.
When it comes to eating healthy you can either pay up front or pay later. Do not sacrifice your future health and wellness on the table of cheap highly processed foods. It is advisable to pay a little extra now for healthier food or to grow your own food together with likeminded people.
