Healthy Eating Tips From Avenue 360 Health + Wellness!

Fuel Your Well-being 

At Avenue 360 Health +Wellness, we want to remind you to make healthy choices about what you eat.

Here are some simple tips to impact your overall health and well-being:

Power of Plants:

• Prioritize plant-based foods: Whenever possible, fill your plate with a rainbow of fruits and vegetables! They are packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber, crucial for maintaining good nutrition and health.
• Beans and nuts are your friends: These versatile plant-based protein sources are excellent alternatives to meat and offer a multitude of health benefits.

Home Cooking:

• Cook at home more often: This gives you complete control over the ingredients and allows you to prepare healthy meals that meet your individual needs.
• Diversify your diet: When possible, experiment with different recipes and types of food to keep your meals exciting and ensure you’re getting a variety of nutrients.

Smart Shopping:

• Shop for groceries regularly: This helps you avoid unhealthy impulse purchases and ensures you have fresh, healthy options readily available.
• Read food labels carefully: Pay attention to serving sizes, too much salt, added sugars, and unhealthy fats. Choose lower-sodium options and limit foods high in added sugars, saturated and trans fats.

Wise Choices:

• Choose good carbs: Eat whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, and whole-wheat bread instead of refined carbs like white bread and pastries. Whole grains provide sustained energy and are packed with fiber.
• Choose lean protein sources: Go for fish, poultry, beans, and nuts as your primary protein sources. These options are generally lower in saturated fat than red meat.
• Embrace healthy fats: Include healthy fats from sources like avocado, olive oil, and nuts in your diet. These fats are essential for maintaining good heart health and overall well-being.

Whole Foods:

• Whole foods are your best bet: Prioritize whole, unprocessed foods over packaged and processed options. Whole foods are generally more nutritious and contain less added sugars, sodium, and unhealthy fats.
