Tips:
Eat more whole foods and fewer processed foods.
Use unsaturated fats, particularly monounsaturated fats like olive oil, for cooking and flavoring foods, and for salad dressings.
Eat an abundance of vegetables, especially leafy greens, every day.
Eat more servings of fruits, grains and legumes than animal-based foods, and include low-fat or fat-free dairy products.
Serve beans and fish as your main protein sources.
Make small amounts of meat an occasional treat, rather than a daily staple.
Enjoy nuts, such as almonds, peanuts and walnuts, regularly, in moderate amounts.
