Healthy Eating is as Easy as 1,2,3!

Today's quote of the day is "It is health that is the real wealth, and not pieces of gold or silver." Many people do not understand the importance of eating healthy foods such as fruits, vegetables, grains, and protein. Through the rest of this blog I am going to share with you posts about healthy meals, healthy alternatives to your favorite meals, benefits of yoga, benefits of exercise and exercises anyone can partake in, and much more. For today, I am going to write out what a healthy meal plan would look like. 

Breakfast:

Cooked oatmeal with raisins and margarine

1/2 cup fat-free milk

1 cup orange juice

Lunch:

Smoked turkey sandwich on whole-wheat pita bread (with romaine lettuce, tomato slices, salad dressing and mustard)

1/2 cup apple slices

1 cup tomato juice

Dinner:

1 cup brown rice

1 cup lemon-flavored ice tea

It's also very important to eat snacks throughout the day and make sure you are satisfying your body's hunger and needs!
