Whole grains are not always better
If you consume whole grain bread instead of white variants, you are doing yourself a huge favor – whole grains reduce the risk of heart disease, and are excellent for overall health. But, keep in mind that you should look at the composition of foods that are made from whole grains. For example, certain types of whole grain products can be very caloric: Integral sweetened flakes still contain sugar and integral cookie is still a cookie! So, if you want to incorporate whole grains into your daily diet, then do it it right: always consume unsweetened cereal, brown rice and whole meal pasta.
Skip the fresh products – sometimes
The longer fresh foods are left standing the more nutrients they lose. So, broccoli and berries, for example, it is better to buy frozen when they are not in season. In this way it preserves the nutrients and usually makes them very tasty.
