10 Simple Ways to Incorporate More Whole Foods into Your Diet

Eating whole foods is one of the best ways to ensure you get all the essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients your body needs to function optimally.

Whole foods are minimally processed, free of additives and preservatives, and often more nutritious than their packaged counterparts.

Incorporating more whole foods into your diet is simple, as it involves making minor changes to your eating habits.

 Here are ten simple ways to start incorporating more whole foods into your diet today:

1.   Make breakfast a priority. Start your day with a nutritious breakfast with whole foods such as oatmeal, eggs, or whole-grain toast.

2.   Incorporate more fruits and vegetables—at least eat five servings of fruits and vegetables per day. Add them to your meals or have them as snacks.

3.   Reduce your processed food intake. Reduce packaged and processed foods in your diet, and instead opt for whole foods such as brown rice, whole grain bread, and lentils.

4.   Plan your meals.

Planning your meals helps you avoid last-minute trips to fast food restaurants and makes it easier to incorporate whole foods into your diet.

5.   Keep healthy snacks on hand. Have healthy snacks such as fruit, nuts, and seeds readily available.

6.   Use whole grain products. Opt for whole-grain pasta, bread, and cereals instead of refined products.

7. Shop for the freshest and most nutritious fruits and vegetables in the market.

8.   Try new whole foods. To add variety to your diet, experiment with new ingredients, such as pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, flaxseeds, and sunflower seeds.

9.   Cook at home more often. Cooking at home allows you to control the ingredients in your food and ensure you incorporate more whole foods into your diet.

10. Read labels. When shopping, take the time to read the labels on packaged foods. Look for foods that have the fewest ingredients and are free from preservatives and additives.
