The key to a healthy diet is lots of fruit and vegetable in a myriad of colors

A healthy diet contains a variety of foods, and does not necessarily have to follow a specific plan. The key to a healthy diet is lots of fruit and vegetable, in a myriad of colors. By including many colors one takes advantage of the many types of anti-oxidents that can prevent cancer and lead to a long and healthy life.

One thing to remember is that a traditional “diet” usually reduces the number of foods you may eat, and in the long term this type of diet is anything but healthy. You will also want to include foods that have protein and carbohydrates to balance your diet. You do not necessarily need to include meat, but the protein from meat is easy to absorb, and does not need to be eaten in large quantities.

Don’t rely on fad diets for weight loss, if you are worried about your long term health. Only a lifestyle change embracing healthy eating can lead to an overall healthy life.
