A HEALTHY DIET

Fresh vegetables and fruits are crucial for your health. If you can, find a produce market with local growers providing the inventory. 

 

Your fruits and vegetables lose nutrients when they're packed and travel a distance to arrive at your home town. 

Selecting a variety of colors is important. Your dish should look like a rainbow.

You're very fortunate if there's a local fish market. 

    

More and more studies are proving that including fish in your diet is a real plus.

Taking the time to shop at specialty shops can prove to be fun for you. There's personality all around you.

Making each meal a special event can help you to value your food. Grabbing the first thing you find and gobbling it down takes the joy out of eating.

Learning to limit your tasting of food while you cook and saving the full experience for your meal is wise. Eat slowly and savor the flavor of your food. 

Learn healthy portions. Don't go for seconds. Generally, slow eating follows the knowledge that "this is all you get".

Most vegetables are low in calories and are filling. You can make your plate look full when you include an array of colorful vegetables. Fruits make a yummy dessert.

You are what you eat so be colorful and have fun selecting your food.
