How does one eat healthy.
Full disclaimer: I am not a nutritionist or a doctor; take their advice over mine. But a good general rule of thumb is to shop the perimeter of the grocery store. That's generally where you'll find the raw base ingredients (fresh fruit, vegetables, dairy products, meat/fish), which are going to be your healthiest options to cook with. Packaged, heavily-processed, and ready-made meals are usually gonna be pretty bad for you, and way too high in added salts and sugars.
Most people don't eat enough servings of fruits and vegetables in their daily meals; the recommended amount is generally 4-5 servings of each every day. You'll also want to vary the fruits and vegetables you eat as much as you can; variety is really important for balanced nutrition.
Cutting back on sugary drinks and increasing your water intake is another good thing to do! If you're like me and don't like plain water, or just want something different to drink here and there, green tea
(brewed yourself is safest; cans or bottles are likely to be sneakily sugary) or making infused water are good alternatives.
Also, most granola bars, yogurts, etc. that brand themselves as "healthy" are almost always so full of sugar that they're really just another treat/dessert in disguise. To be clear, I don't think there's anything wrong with treating yourself!
In fact, I would say it's a good thing, personally. I'm an "everything in moderation" type. But I really
really hate the shady way companies brand them, and want to acknowledge them for what they are. If you can find granola mixes or plain Greek yogurt without added sugars, those actually
are your healthy options. Same goes for cereals, most will advertise
like they're healthy or """part of a balanced breakfast""" but they're 99% sugar.
it occurs to me that this question may've been rhetorical and I'm so sorry if it was lol ;w;
who is this Olimar and Alph you speak of lol
