5 Ways To Eat More Healthy Foods

Do you want to eat more healthy foods, but never seem to get around to planning and cooking? If so, here’s a fun way to get more nutrient-dense foods into your body.In Traditional Chinese Medicine, a balanced diet consists of eating foods on a daily basis that include all the different colors. Using this approach, there’s no need to deal with balancing proteins, carbs, and fats or about worrying about getting too many carbs. Just use the color guide and you will automatically eat all different kinds of foods each day, each color being rich in certain nutrients. The amount of healthy foods you eat will naturally increase day by day.

Here are the colors to take in each day…

White
Black or brown or dark blue
Red
Yellow or orange
Green

You can eat a small amount of each, or a larger amount. Just be sure to at least get a touch of each color. Spices and herbs can be included.

Here are some ideas. I’m sure you can come up with lots more. Plus, you might want to try some new foods from the list that you have never eaten before.
