Consider Healthier Options
It’s important to have a high-quality diet of lean protein, whole grains, and fruits and vegetables. Processed foods lead to weight gain, so the less processed the food you eat, the better. And the more satisfied you could end up being. Choose a variety of vegetables, including dark green, red and orange, beans and peas, starchy and non-starchy. Eat a variety of fruits. Include grains in your daily diet. Half of your grains should be whole grains. Stick to fat-free or low-fat dairy.

Have protein at every meal. Use healthy oils, such as olive oil. Doing regular physical activity, reducing stress levels, maintaining a healthy weight and a eating a diet high in fruits, vegetables and polyunsaturated fats all help keep our blood vessels healthy. Fibre is found in grains, legumes, fruits and vegetables. You can find 3.3g of fibre in 100g of cooked broccoli, while the same amount of brown rice has 1.8g, cooked quinoa 2.8g and spinach 2.4g. Eating the white fluffy part of a baked potato can provide 1.3g per 100g; having the skin too increases that to 2.9g.
