Some Healthy Eating Tips

o Steer clear of processed snack foods, such as potato chips, which can impair your ability to concentrate. Pass up sugar-filled snacks, such as candy and soft drinks, which lead to ups and downs in energy levels.

o Consume plenty of healthy fats, such as olive oil, coconut oil and avocado. This will support your brain function.

o Have a healthy snack when hunger strikes, such as fruit, nuts, hard-boiled eggs and baked sweet potatoes. This will give you more energy than packaged products.

o Develop a healthy shopping list and stick to it.

o Do not shop while hungry, since you will be more likely to make unhealthy impulse purchases.

o Think about where and when you eat. Do not eat in front of the television, which can be distracting and cause you to overeat. Instead, find a place to sit, relax and really notice what you're eating. Chew slowly. Savor the taste and texture.
