It is amazing that the restaurants are being forced to put nutrition information on their menus, as though the typical consumer is not smart enough to know what is healthy, and what is not. For most people, restaurants are not a way of life when it comes to eating and diet, they are an occasional luxury. Few people going out to dinner are doing so to count calories. However, if you are concerned about your day-to-day diet, you may be asking yourself what are 3 food choices I can make today to be more healthy, and below are a few of those choices.
Some of the oldest living people in the world can be found in Asian countries, and that is because of their diet. If Rice, fish, and tea are a staple to some of the world’s healthiest people, then you may want to incorporate healthy doses of these foods into your regular diet. Aim for the fish rich in omega fats, which would be tuna and salmon, make your rice brown, and your tea, green.
You probably know somebody who announces that they are going to go on a diet and eat mostly salads or use some supplement like HCG. This person then takes iceberg lettuce, and tops it with cheese, ham, hard boiled eggs, bacon, and ranch dressing. That is closer to being a cheeseburger, than a salad. For healthy salads you want to use leafy greens, such as romaine, or green-leaf lettuce. Vinegar and olive oil make arguably the healthiest dressing, although low-calorie Italian dressings are good, as well. If you want to put bacon bits on it, there are many great brands of low-fat turkey bacon available you can use, and you do not need to lack the cheesy touch, you can grate skim mozzarella cheese on top of your salad. If all you want to do is drop a few pounds before the holidays, just remember that by being a vegetarian for a week, you can achieve that.
