5 Wrong Diet Habits You Need To Change Now!

 It’s never too late to turn bad nutritional practices around, and get on the path towards better health.

The older we get, the less balanced and more haphazard our eating habits can become. Sometimes we go to extremes to lose weight; sometimes we become almost addicted to certain foods, especially sweet and fatty ones; sometimes we lose interest in cooking and preparing meals.

If any of those things sound familiar, maybe it’s time to tweak your diet.

Here are the five bad food habits to avoid:

1.Eating the same way you did, 20 years ago.

Calorie requirements drop as we get older. With a lower calorie requirement, there is less room for extra such as sweets and high-fat foods.

Nutrient-dense foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean protein sources like fish or skinless chicken breast deliver maximum nutritional bang for the buck.

 2.Underestimating the nutritional value of frozen foods.

Fill your freezer with vegetables, fruits, and a few frozen entrees instead of Haagen-Dazs. Frozen vegetables without sauces and frozen fruits without sweeteners are just as healthy as fresh, and may be more convenient.
