UNDERSTANDING THE BASICS OF NUTRITION
Good nutrition is the foundation of good health. Everyone needs the four basic nutrients - water, carbohydrates, proteins, and fats - as well as vitamins, minerals, and other micronutrients. To be able to choose the proper foods, and to better understand why those foods should be supported with supplements, you need to have a clear idea of the components of a healthy diet.

HEALTHY EATING TIPS
A diet rich in natural whole grains has been shown to improve heart health. It also helps protect against certain diseases, like cancer and Type 2 diabetes. Start your day with a proper breakfast and stay healthy all day long.
You can go a long way toward feeling good, maintaining a healthy weight and preventing disease by eating a diet rich in whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and low in cholesterol and saturated fat. To eat right all day:
- Start Every Day With Breakfast
- Choose whole-grain cereals. They deliver fiber and antioxidants.
- Combine milk (a protein) with fiber; it keeps you fuller, longer.
- Top whole-grain cereal with fruit to boost your intake of vitamins and antioxidants.
- Refuel With Lunch
- Power-pack your lunch with lean protein for all-day staying power.
- Add extra nutrition to a sandwich by replacing lettuce with spinach.
- Increase your daily fiber consumption wiht whole-grain bread.
- Maintain Your Energy With Snacks
- Snacks are not just an indulgence; they can provide energy and round out a nutritious day.
- Think mini-meals: Snacking on shredded wheat and nuts provides whole grains, protein, and a little healthy fat. Instead of grabbing a candy bar, eat an apple instead.
- Eat snacks that are 200 calories or less.
- Lighten Up With Dinner
- Limit calories you consume by starting with a bowl of reduced sodium soup.
- Replace refined grains with whole grains such as brown rice, whole-grain pasta, etc.
- Remember color - choose salad greens and veggies in a variety of colors for essential vitamins and antioxidants.
