Healthy Habits Tips Series – Week 8 Dine Out Less
Healthy eating habits are extremely important but what does this really mean? We think it’s a lifestyle where you make a time-tested commitment to balance, variety and moderation.
Simply said: it is an everyday commitment to eating a variety of foods from different food groups without getting too many calories or too much of one nutrient.
So, where do you start?
We all know that old habits are hard to break, so start slow. Be realistic with your expectations and make one change a week, rather than trying to change everything at once. Try adopting one nutrition tip a week and incorporate it into your busy lifestyle. Within 2-3 months you will develop healthy eating habits that will last a lifetime…..more energy, better health and beautiful skin are just some of the benefits.
Dine Out Less
Huge portions high in fat and calories makes it hard to eat well when dining out. When you do eat out, avoid fried foods, heavy sauces and dressings, and skip fillers like bread baskets. Most restaurants have now a “healthy choice” on the menu. Ordering a mini portion or sharing your plate is also a good option.

Feed your brain 
Supply it with the right nutrients throughout the day. Glucose, iron, B, C and E vitamins have all been shown to affect our memory, attentiveness, ability to react and respond. The brain needs a continuous supply of glucose to fuel it. Eat foods high in omega-3 fatty acids such as salmon, flaxseed oil, and omega-3 eggs.

3 Foods for Beautiful Skin
Want radiant, healthy, even younger-looking skin?
Turns out the saying “You are what you eat” doesn’t just apply to the bathroom scale. Our skin reveals what we put in our mouths, too. And you guessed it: The healthier our choices, the more our skin rewards us with a beautiful, glowing appearance.
Nourish your skin from the inside out with 3 good-for-you foods.
What to eat: Salmon
Benefit: Soft, supple skin
The omega-3 fatty acids in salmon and other oily fish works to keep your cells healthy and add moisture to your skin. It also fights inflammation–research shows too little omega-3 can contribute to eczema and psoriasis.
Other options: If fish isn’t a favorite, try walnuts, soybeans and flaxseed.
What to eat: Strawberries
Benefit: Smooth, taut skin
These sweet little gems are loaded with Vitamin C, which helps your body produce collagen for healthy cell renewal. They’re also rich in antioxidants to combat sun damage and slow down the aging process.
Other options: Not into strawberries? Try kiwi, cantaloupe, orange and grapefruit.
What to eat: Carrots
Benefit: Brighter skin tone
Carrots, like other orange-red veggies, are packed with beta-carotene. Beta-carotene turns into Vitamin A in our bodies, which becomes an antioxidant to prevent cell damage and premature aging.
Other options: Think bright! Vivid orange and green fruits and veggies are loaded with beta-carotene. Sweet potatoes, mangos and spinach are all winners.
