Eating healthy and balanced food definitely requires some effort and up-front preparation, but you can make it much simpler if you just follow a few simple rules. Here are our favorite ones that will make your life easier.

Add Fresh Veggies to Meals

Simply adding some fresh vegetables to every meal will give you enough vitamins, minerals, and fiber for the day. The more you do it, the more it turns into a habit, and it’s one worth developing.

Choose Healthy Fats

We already know that we don’t need to avoid fats in order to eat healthily, but we should choose healthier, non-processed options whenever possible. Cold-pressed olive oil is one great choice, for example.

Avoid Processed Foods

Pre-packed, processed foods like meat products, cereal, and industrial snacks typically don’t have any nutritional value and won’t benefit your health at all. Whenever possible, avoid them and go with natural, healthy alternatives like nuts, eggs, oats, fresh meat, etc.

The nutrition experts have been recommending regular meals for such a long time that a different approach may seem counter-intuitive and wrong. But more and more people are finding skipping meals – and fasting for big portions of their days – to be the solution they were looking for the whole time.

There are even studies that back up the positive effects of intermittent fasting on our overall health. The effects go beyond physical – one research conducted at the University of Virginia found that intermittent fasting is a great way to feel more energetic and focused.

Many people are experiencing the positive effects of intermittent fasting in terms of weight loss and maintaining. Eating for 8 hours and fasting for 16 hours per day is a good way to consume fewer calories and to solve weight-related problems.

It should be said that this not a universal solution and that you should monitor your body to see if fasting is a good option for you or not.
