Consume a variety of foods 

For good health, human beings need more than 40 different nutrients. A single food cannot supply all the nutrients. Therefore, go for a variety of foods.

Include foods rich in carbohydrates

Almost half the calories in our diet have to come from foods rich in carbohydrates, such as rice, pasta, cereals, potatoes, or bread. Include at least one of these foods at every meal. Likewise, wholegrain foods such as pasta, wholegrain bread, and cereals will increase our fiber intake.

Go for unsaturated fat

Too much fat intake can negatively affect cardiovascular health as well as weight. Therefore, we need to limit the consumption of total and saturated fats, which usually comes from foods of animal origin.

Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables

Vegetables and fruits are the most important foods that provide us enough minerals, vitamins, and fiber. Eating at least 5 servings a day is highly recommended.

Likewise, even though sugary foods or drinks are rich in energy, we need to eat fruits instead.

Eat regularly

Eat a variety of foods on a regular basis and the right amount for a healthy diet.

Do not skip meals, mainly breakfast. This is can to out-of-control hunger. For snacks, choose yogurt, some fresh or dried fruits or vegetables, nuts, or some bread with cheese.

Plenty of fluids intake

An adult needs to drink at least 1.5 liters of fluid each day. Drink water since it is the best source. Fruit juices, coffee, tea, soft drinks, milk can be okay – from time to time.
