Let's talk about food and eating well! Five simple rules for eating well

Rule One : through out your calorie counter Eating healthy is not about quantity, but about quality. You will find that you naturally eat the right balance of food if the food that you prepare and eat is made from fresh, preservative-free ingredients and you listen to your body when it tells you you've had enough.
Rule Two:explore the world of food Choose a varied diet that does not involve the same food repeatedly, as this can lead to food intolerance.
Rule Three: attune to the seasons Select seasonal foods that are grown locally,where available. Apart from the fact that these foods will be the most fresh,seasonal eating will help you to avoid eating the same foods month in,month out.
