6. Add spices. Curry, ginger, garlic, chili powder have tremendous anti-oxidant effects. Translation: certain spices can help fight certain kinds of cancer. Experts also suggest that you buy your spices in small quantities (since they usually keep their flavor for only 6 to 12 months) and that you go to a store where there’s a frequent turnover of spices – for maximum freshness.
7. Eat fish twice a week. Fatty fish like tuna and salmon help fight inflammation in your body. That can help people with rheumatoid arthritis. These fish also have omega-3 acids, which help battle inflammation and cancer.
8. Stop when you’re full. Don’t feel that you have to gobble up every bit of food in front of you. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 “starving” and 10 “Thanksgiving full”, most of your meals should have you feeling about at 5 or 6.
9. Get colorful. Focus on boldly colored fruits and vegetables: red, like peppers and apples; yellow, like bananas; violet, like eggplant. All these are a great source of antioxidants.
Yes, healthy eating can be a challenge sometimes, but with the above expert tips, there are healthy ways to eat right (and deliciously) and lose weight.
