Principles of a Healthy Diet

Vegetables and seafood that have been steamed and are served with little or no added sauces retain nearly all of their nutritional value and taste delicious.
Buy real lemons instead of a bad replica of the real thing. A healthy diet calls for only the freshest ingredients. Old produce will have lost most of its nutritional value, and outdated products should be discarded.
Buy ingredients that are low in fat and that pack a lot of fiber, as well as protein.
Eat fewer red meats and fatty meats.
Whenever possible, eat fish at least twice a day, but check the labels to ensure you're getting fish that has come from both fresh and salt waters. Too much saltwater fish and you may be ingesting too much mercury.
Take advantage of salads and other raw vegetables, and try not to give in to your sweet tooth.
