When it comes to maintaining a well balanced and somewhat healthy diet, we are not always doing the best job we can. Sure its OK to have slipups once in a while, but they call them treats for a reason. They shouldn’t be had every day!

Here are some easy rules to follow that I’ve picked up along the way and maybe you will find helpful as well.

Eat more avocados. The natural oils in avocados are incredibly healthy for both your body and skin. It has become very popular recently and most delis will be able to add it to a sandwich. Try it as a condiment instead of mayo once in a while. If you like guacamole, just keep on doing your thing.

Eat less red meat. If you are a sandwich guy or gal, substitute roast beef for turkey on your lunch. Its tough to turn down a good steak, but try to stay away from pastrami, corned beef (way too much salt) and cured meats like prosciutto and sopressatta (ditto).

Work seafood into your diet. Shrimp, crab and lobster are both exceptionally healthy for you, not that the latter two should need any convincing. If you don’t eat crab and lobster, know that it is expensive for a reason! Most types of fish are very good for you as well.

Eat more whole wheat. After a while, you will prefer the taste or at least enjoy it. Switching regular bread on your sandwich for whole wheat will go a long way.

Get more fruit into your body. While vegetables may take some convincing for many, everyone can agree that most types of fruit are delicious. Throw a mango into the rotation once in a while. Definitely eat more blueberries.

Eat some sort of breakfast every morning. Whether it is before you leave for the day or eating it on the go, have some type of food substance in the morning. A granola bar is an easy enough thing to take down.
