Prevention or early detection is key for good health, and in some cases for a quick recovery. Last month we mentioned a few prevention tips such as avoiding tobacco products, alcohol, maintaining a healthy weight as well as a well-balanced diet. Today, we insist on making nutrition a priority.

Here are six easy tweaks to your diet that will allow the body to be healthier and/or make a quicker recovery.

  • Eat three balanced meals a day with a small snack between meals.
  • Have dried fruits as a healthy snack.
  • Avoid snacking all day in place of meals; this will lower your appetite.
  • Cook a home cooked meal – the smell and seeing others eat will help the appetite.
  • Include proteins/starches in meals-the body needs calories and you will feel stronger.
  • Drink a fruit smoothie or vegetable juice between meals to provide needed fiber.
