Lower your sodium intake by flavoring foods with herbs and spices, rather than salt. By using fresh herbs in everything from sandwiches to vegetables to eggs, you can amp up the flavor without the negative health effects of sodium. Herbs are simple to grow on your kitchen windowsill or porch and therefore, can be easily accessible whenever you need them.

A good health tip that everyone would do well to use, is to stop eating at least two hours before you go to sleep. Eating right before bed causes your body to break down food into unused energy which is then stored as fat. Try and eat earlier dinners and have a small snack a couple hours before bedtime.

Eat more fish for your brain. Numerous studies have shown that diets high in fish, and fish oil, are better for your brain cells. Much of your brains grey matter has a lot of DHA in it. The same DHA is found in fish, and fish oil. The more you eat, the better your brain may function.

Help to ensure that your children are getting the proper nutrition they need on a daily basis by packing healthy lunches for them to take to school. When making sandwiches, avoid high-fat deli meats, such as ham, bologna and salami, and opt for low-fat turkey, chicken or even lean roast beef. Use whole grain bread and light mayonnaise. Egg salad, tuna fish and an occasional peanut butter and jelly sandwich provide some variety. While fresh fruit is convenient and nutritional, switch up the usual apples, oranges and bananas from time to time with dried fruit mixes, granola bars, nuts, yogurt, or carrot and celery sticks with a low-fat dip. Water, low-fat or skim milk, 100% fruit juices and low-sodium vegetable juice all make healthy beverage choices. You can even surprise your children now and again with a homemade chocolate chip cookie for dessert!

Shopping more frequently for produce can reduce waste and increase the likelihood of actually eating fresh fruits and vegetables. Lots of people purchase their groceries once a week and sometimes forget to eat their fresh produce. If you stop by the store slightly more often, things won't spoil as often and you'll get into the habit of eating more fresh produce in no time.

A heart-healthy diet should include foods that are low in fat and high in protein. Chicken, turkey and other poultry are all foods that fulfill these requirements, but only if they are consumed without the skin. Ideally, poultry is boiled, baked, broiled or roasted, but never fried. White meat is generally healthier than dark meat.

As you can see, nutrition is a vital aspect not only to survival but to your well being also. Proper nutrition leads to less illness, lower obesity rates, and happier, healthier people. Hopefully the tips in this article will help you in achieving healthy eating habits for years to come.
