One healthy addition to your daily diet is garlic. Try around 660 to 900 mg to begin with. Known as a fighter of heart disease and cancer, garlic is great for your health. It will also help you maintain healthy organs by fighting bacteria and fungus. Add garlic cloves or extracts to your diet everyday.

When trying to clean up your diet by making it healthier, start slowly. It is difficult, if not impossible, to make drastic changes in a short amount of time. You want to avoid shocking your body by eating items you may not like. Work on adding nutritious items over time, and as time passes, your habits will have become much healthier.

Vitamin B-12 is very important for red blood cell production. As you age, you may not get enough vitamin B-12 in your diet. People who have anemia also can be at risk. Vitamin B-12 can be given as a shot, a liquid supplement, or many foods like cereals are enriched with it.

When in a restaurant, consider splitting your portions with someone else. Even healthy options are generally served in huge portions, thus, bringing excessive fat and calories. You're not only going to save on calories this way, but also save on money. This will enable you to enjoy dining out without sabotaging your new nutrition goals.

Choose dark chocolate over milk or white chocolate. This kind contains more of the compounds that make chocolate healthy than the others. The antioxidants contained in the chocolate decrease your bad cholesterol, while increasing the good. Look for chocolate that is marked 70 percent or higher in cocoa for the most benefit. Remember that chocolate still contains a lot of calories, so don't stuff your face.

For a healthy, nutritious diet focus on high protein, low fat and ample fiber. You can find this in both skinless poultry, and most types of fish. In addition, bake, broil, or roast your protein rather than frying it. White meat is a healthier food option than dark meat.

If you are in the kitchen making something that requires microwaving, you are eating something that is not nutritious. Anything that comes pre-packaged and just needs a quick zap is filled with a lot of preservatives that can keep weight on.

You can feel and look better by practicing better nutrition. Reducing your intake of refined sugar is one of the best things you can do for yourself. It is vital to keep this post an eye on items, such as fruit juices or sodas. Soda and juices tend to be loaded with unneeded sugars. Avoid ingesting sugar and it will show. Your body will look better, and you'll feel better too.
