Eating more fruits and vegetables will give you more energy throughout the day.
Medi-Rents is all about improving your quality of life in every area we can. We know that eating healthy is a major part of improving your quality of life, but sometimes it is hard to incorporate healthy foods with your busy lifestyle.
Eating more fruits and vegetables may reduce your risk for certain cancers and diseases. You will not only be broadening your horizons by trying new foods, but also taking preventative measures for your health. We have compiled a list of six simple ways to start getting the recommended daily amount of fruits and vegetables into your diet.
- Start with breakfast. As many know, breakfast is the most important meal of the day and it can be easy to get started with fruits right away in the morning. Eating in the morning can boost your metabolism and give you a great start to the day.
- Get your family involved with your better eating habits. It is much easier to make lifestyle changes if your loved ones are right there with you bettering their lives too.
- Try different fruits and vegetables. When you go to the grocery store, choose a new vegetable and/or fruit to try each time. You will be surprised with yourself for keeping an open mind and you may have a new favorite!
- Start making smoothies for your afternoon snack. We all get the midday urge to eat in the afternoon before dinner. Smoothies are the perfect way to satisfy hunger. A tip for smoothie making: add spinach to your concoction because the sweet fruits will mask the taste!
- Plan ahead. This goes for anything, but especially when you are making a major lifestyle change. Make a detailed grocery list and plan your meals for the week ahead. Food prepping on Sunday afternoons is ideal because you can get the family involved in the cooking process.
- Eating out is always a struggle when you are new to a healthier lifestyle. Most restaurants have healthy options on their menus. Keeping an open mind while eating out can also help you try new things.
We hope these tips from Medi-Rents can help you incorporate fruits and vegetables into your diet. Improving your quality of life is essential to living well. We also offer nutritional supplements for your health and convenience.
