Remove the skin and fatty portions of meat before cooking

3. Use more vegetables in your diet

Recommended Foods and Healthy Alternatives

Now that you have a general idea of what to do and eat to stay healthy, let us focus on each food category and see what you should eat more to achieve your goals of better overall health.

Vegetables

Carrots, tomatoes, red bell peppers, broccoli, spinach, celery, red leaf lettuce, romaine, sweet potatoes, and zucchini and green onions -- these are just a few of the vegetables that can be very beneficial in strengthening your immune system and supplying the nutrients your body needs. For more options, ask your dietician or check out your local farmer?s market.

Meats

When it comes to meat, think ?lean?. Get more white meats like turkey and chicken breast. For red meat, simply go for lean cuts like pork tenderloin and flank steak. Tuna and salmon are also healthful choices if you are looking for protein sources that are nice and light.

Fruits

Eat more bananas, apples, oranges, strawberries, berries, melons, pears and grapes for sufficient supply of vitamin C and antioxidants. Most fruits are also great laxatives too.

Dairy Products

Milk and eggs have high fat content but they have nutrients and minerals that are highly essential to the body like calcium for milk and lecithin for egg. If your dietician is okay with it, you can purchase milk, cheese, butter and other dairy products. However, be sure to use ones that are organic.
