A healthy lifestyle starts with planning and cooking your food. This lets you know what you're putting into your body. Knowing this will help you stay healthy.

 

When planning your meal, the first thing to do is to look at recipes. Use different meals to make up your week. Have chicken on Monday, then vegetarian on Tuesday. The next thing to do is make your grocery list.

 

Your grocery list lists all the things you need for your recipes. The next step will be to go shopping when you have your list. Some of the things you will buy will be fresh foods. Others will be pre-packaged. It's essential to look at the food labels. Some brands will be better for you than others. For example, canned foods are usually loaded with salt, so try to find ones that have the lowest amount of salt. Also, make sure to check the expiration dates. Look at the back for when the food will go wrong.

 

Now you have your ingredients. The last step in meal planning is to store your food. You may also wish to make all your meals ahead of time. You can then store them in the fridge or freezer. You will learn about food storage and cooking a little later.
