Healthy living

Tips for Healthy living
  • Include plenty of fiber, pulses, whole grains, foods made with wholegrain flour (such as wholegrain bread), and fruit and vegetables in your diet.
  • Stay away from food items that contain too much oil or sugar. While they do not contain extra nutrients, they surely pack in a lot of extra calories.
  • Put a limit on your salt intake. While salt is necessary for the body, its excessive intake proves to be quite harmful.
  • Limit your consumption of processed foods, which contain empty calories, saturated fats, added sugar, refined cereal grains, and additives.
  • Eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. Rather than aerated drinks and alcoholic beverages, stick to water, juices and soups.
