Practical, Easy Steps to a Healthier Life

1) Start every day with a green smoothie (fruit plus greens plus water, blended).
2) When shopping for groceries, try to avoid the middle isles that include boxed and processed foods. Focus instead on whole foods such as produce and proteins, which are usually located around the edge of the store.
3) Cut out soda (as well as diet soda) and other sugary drinks from your diet. If you are going out to eat, spend the money you usually would spend on soda on a side salad instead.
4) Try cutting back on the processed sugars found in cake, cookies, donuts, brownies, pastries, etc. Instead try to incorporate more fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet on a daily basis.
5) Avoid fake sugars such as aspartame, as they are even less healthy than regular sugar! Focus instead on natural sugar found in fresh fruits.
