Want to start eating for better health but don’t know where to start? Want to change to a ‘Pro Health’ diet’, but uncertain how to?

It’s all about making simple swaps rather than extreme restrictions. Start today by reducing the amount of highly processed, high sugar, salt & fat foods you eat. Its No 1 when it comes to how to start eating a pro health diet. Try swapping high sugar, salt, fat and processed foods to their healthier whole food, high fibre, healthy fat alternatives.

Want some more Pro Health diet tips?

Try these following suggestions:

• Eat a variety of foods to ensure adequate intake of nutrients

• Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables - the bigger the variety and selection of colour’s, the better

• Consume whole grains, nuts and healthy fats rich in unsaturated fatty acids

• Reduce your intake of saturated fats

• Limit sugar intake. Especially refined sugars.

• Cut back on salt

• Drink good quality water regularly

• Aim to eat only when you’re hungry

• Try to avoid snacking between main meals. It confuses the body’s natural signals of ‘enough food’ from your brain to your gut

• Try to avoid eating when ‘On the Go’. Remember, when and where we choose to eat can also impact on our health.

Eat right, feel happy.

There’s an added bonus when we start to pay attention to what, where and how we’re eating. As well as being one of the key foundations for promoting better health & wellbeing, when we eat well, we feel good and naturally enjoy life more. And when we enjoy life more, we naturally become aware of feeling and experiencing a greater sense of happiness in life.
