Remember 5 Little Things if You Want to Get Your Diet Right

By Thong M. Dao

If good health is what you're trying to achieve, eating a proper diet is one of the best things you can do. Because our life styles are demanding we tend to cheat every now and then, but you should always stick to certain healthy foods on a daily basis.

Should you deviate from the ideal healthy eating plan, these five steps will bring you back on track and prevent your body from falling too far from your ideal weight.

1. Organic fruit. There should be at least two helpings of fruit in your diet on a normal day. If you find it hard to find the time to be able to snatch the fruit and go, try making a smoothie and breaking it into two parts for later. Not only is it delicious, it will help you stay on track.

2. Organic veggies. We should all consume veggies every day, it's part of the recommended daily rations. Fiber is taken in from veggies so this helps our bodies in lots of areas.

If you have trouble consuming vegetables, a good way to get them into your diet is to use some leafy green vegetables, add them to your smoothy on a normal basis. It would come as a nice surprise to you that this is extremely tasty.

3. The act of sprouting is a very simple process. Lentils or wheat berries are good seeds to germinate; just soak them for a few hours in a jar of water, then drain off the water.

If you moisten them twice daily they should rapidly sprout. Nibble on these whenever you are hungry for their fantastic health benefits.

4. Aside from fish and meat, taking flaxseed oil on a daily basis is a great way to get Omega 3 fatty acids. Include this into your regime and you'll be astonished as to the drastic changes it will have on your general health.

5. Water. Even though it is not a food, it is something that is missing from many individuals' diets and life-styles. You should consume an amount of water daily equal to your body weight, in pounds, converted to ounces and divided in half; you should add a pinch of salt for every 16 ounces of water that you drink.

You would be amazed at the difference that this will make in your overall health. Try it out for a week and see what happens.
