Eat Healthy In Your 20′s

 

You’re probably busy working, making new friends, dating, getting married, maybe even starting a family. Your life is a bit tough, and there are too many things going on at once. You’ve been catching all sorts of cold, and feeling weak all the time. This means that you need to start thinking about your health, start preparing the right healthy diet. There are three important key nutrients you need:

Protein- It helps keep you full and provides the building blocks so you can make and keep calorie-burning muscle. Recent studies has showed that we need 60-70rams of protein a day. You can start eating skinless white-mean poultry, lean steak, fish, eggs, beans, tofu, and low-fat dairy.

Potassium- It is not hard to keep your muscles and heart to function properly. However according to the USDA, most women in their 20′s get lesss than half the recommended amount. You can start munching two cups of fruit (an apple, a banana, and a plain yogurt with fresh strawberries) and two and a half cups of veggies daily (a garden salad and a side of broccoli) provides all the potassium you need.

Omega-3 fats- This may make the chemical in your brain feel good. Try to eat Salmon and tuna, these are the best source for you. You can also get your fill from walnuts, ground flaxseed and canola oil.
