Eating right makes you feel good, and its important for reducing your risk of diseases like heart disease, certain cancers, diabetes, stroke and osteoporosis. In fact, healthier eating could reduce cancer deaths in the United States by as much as 35 percent **


Your body needs nutrients to function properly. Getting the right amount of these nutrients is necessary for a balanced nutrition, which provides fuel for your daily activities and can help you achieve a healthy, active lifestyle.

• Always eat a healthy breakfast. After you have slept for hours, your body cries out for food. That's why breakfast is such an important meal; it kick-starts your metabolism and provides energy to start your day.
• Eat smaller meals more frequently throughout the day to help prevent energy slumps and cravings for sugary snacks.
• Having a healthy snack like fruits, vegetables and small servings of protein, such as unsalted nuts, yogurt or low-fact cheese, during mid-morning and mid-afternoon, will help you avoid overeating at lunch or dinner time.
• Actively shift your food choices towards a balanced, healthy diet. Aim to provide your body with a wide range of nutrients, including protein, whole grains and seven servings of fruits and vegetables, everyday.
• Protein is an essential nutrient and is contained in every part of the body. Protein has a number of different roles, including: building and maintaining body tissues, providing a source of energy and controlling many of the important processes related to metabolism. Protein can be found in animal sources like meat, fish, poultry, eggs and dairy products, and plant foods such as beans, lentils and soybeans. Plant sources of protein contain less fat than animal protein. Aim to eat two to three servings of protein from different sources every day.
• Fiber is an important component of a healthy, balanced diet. It helps your digestive system to process food and to absorb nutrients. Fiber is only found in foods that come from plants. Good sources of fiber include fruits, vegetables, beans, oats, whole-grain rice and pasta, whole wheat bread, nuts, seeds and brans.
• Reduce levels of sugar, saturated fat and salt in your diet by checking the nutrition information on food labels and limiting the amount you consume.
• Ensure a regular intake of fluids to stay properly hydrated.
