Now that we’ve been stuck at home for so long, it is not wrong to say that we’re all eating differently now.
For some of us, that’s a good thing, because staying at home means that we now get to make our own meals and rely less on outside food.
Even though you’re making healthy food at home, are you getting all the nutrients you need in your diet?
Here are five simple things you can do to make sure that you have more nutrients in your diet.
When we mention a healthy diet, most of us would automatically think of eating more greens. That’s not wrong — vegetables are packed with a lot of nutrients after all — but don’t forget about fruits.
Certain types of fruits are loaded with lots of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and fibre, albeit with a little bit more natural sugar too. Focus on adding a side of fruits to your meals and teatime snacks.
The next time you head to the grocery store, remember to pick up more fruits such as apples, blueberries, bananas, dragon fruit and pomegranate.
While chicken breast screams healthy diet, you’ll be surprised just how nutrient-packed a piece of salmon is.
When it comes to healthy fatty acids, salmon is the king in that department. It contains the greatest amount of omega-3s fatty acids, a key nutrient that is often linked to improved health and wellbeing, as well as help lower the risk of many serious diseases.
In fact, studies have shown that a 100-gram piece of wild salmon contains 2.8 grams of omega-3s, as well as lots of high-quality protein, vitamins and mineral, including large amounts of potassium, selenium, magnesium and B vitamins.
It’s a good idea to consume fatty fish at least once or twice a week to load up on the omega-3s your body needs, as studies have shown that people who eat fatty fish regularly have a lower risk of heart disease and other common illnesses.
When you’re having your meal, always remember that finishing first doesn’t mean you’re the greatest. In fact, finishing your meal fast might not be good news for your body.
According to this study, fast eaters are much more likely to eat more and have higher body mass index (BMI) compared to those who take their time to eat. That’s because eating slower gives your brain enough time to perceive that you’re full.
When you take things slow, it gives your body enough time to absorb all the nutrients you are putting in your body. It will also help reduce the amount of calories you consume, hence helping you lose weight.
Ever wondered why salads are often categorised under starters in the menu? That’s because there are plenty of health benefits if you start your meal with a helping of greens first.
On top of all the wonderful nutrients you’ll be getting from the vegetables, eating your greens at the point where you’re hungriest may cause you to eat less later. This, in turn, may lead you to eat fewer and healthier calories overall. And when you cut down on calories = you’ll lose weight.
Plus, eating vegetables before your meal also works wonders on your blood sugar level, as it slows down the speed at which carbs are absorbed into the bloodstream.
By that, we mean cutting off carbonated drinks completely (because they’re full of sugar, d’uh!) and replacing them with a healthier alternative.
Opt for fruit juices because they are often packed with tonnes of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients, but try to avoid adding sugar into the juice lah. Gulping down a glass of fruit juice enables your body to absorb nutrients more quickly, and it allows you to get a wider intake of nutrients, more so than you may be getting in your regular diet.
If you’re wondering which types of juice gives you the most nutrients, go for cranberry, beet, pomegranate, prune and yes, even tomato juice.
Now that you know what you can do to get more nutrients in your diet, it’s good to get a little help in that department, right?

#2 Load up on salmon

#3 Slow down when you chow down

#4 Attack the greens first
Ever wondered why salads are often categorised under starters in the menu? That’s because there are plenty of health benefits if you start your meal with a helping of greens first.
On top of all the wonderful nutrients you’ll be getting from the vegetables, eating your greens at the point where you’re hungriest may cause you to eat less later. This, in turn, may lead you to eat fewer and healthier calories overall. And when you cut down on calories = you’ll lose weight.

#5 Rethink your drinks
