BODY HEALTHY EATING
Choose Healthy Fats
Believe it or not, fat is part of a healthy diet but only if it’s the right kind. Get your healthy fats from whole plant-based foods like nuts, seeds and avocados. Then, minimize (or eliminate) the amounts of extracted oils and processed fats you cook with on a daily basis.
TIPS FOR SUCCESS
• Nuts, seeds and avocados (all plant-based whole foods!) are great micronutrient-dense sources of healthy fats.
• Minimize or eliminate extracted oils (like canola) and processed fats (like margarine). 4
Consider Nutrient Density
A variety of nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients are essential for good health. Eat a rainbow of fruits and vegetables along with all kinds of whole grains, beans and other unrefined whole plant foods to get the most out of your diet.
Tips For Success
• Build your meals around recipes that emphasize plant-based foods.
• Choose foods rich in micronutrients when compared to total caloric content.
