  One of the key components of living an active, healthy life is to develop a good understanding of nutrition. Once you're aware of the foods and ingredients that you should avoid, and the proper nutritious alternatives, you'll be on the road to fitness and health. This article shares some great tips to help you along the way.
  
  This means sneaking some healthy ingredients into foods in such a way that you don't notice them. You can do this to ensure that your children get better nutrition, and you can also use it with your own foods to cover up flavors that you do not like. To give you an idea of how this would work, you could use dry milk powder in things that you bake and drinks prepared in your blender. You could also try slipping 1/2 a cup of white beans, or any amount to your personal taste, into a batch of cookies or the next cake you bake. Your whole family will be eating healthier and they won't notice the difference.
  
  Make fish your main course a couple days a week to amp up your Omega-3 intake. Omega 3 fatty acids, often found in fish, help keep your brain and blood in good health. Just be careful about your mercury consumption when adding more fish to your diet.
  
  Be wary of consuming too many canned foods, as they are usually high in sodium. If your diet contains an excess amount of sodium, you run the risk of many health problems such as heart disease and high blood pressure. Processed meats are often extremely rich in sodium. This ingredient is necessary to keep processed foods fresh.
  
  Sugar should be controlled in order to live a healthy life. Many people make the mistake of thinking that fruit juice is a healthy alternative to soda. Fruit juices are not always our friends, because unbeknownst to many, they contain a higher margin of sugars than sodas. As a result, there is no replacement for carefully reading the label and understanding exactly what you are ingesting.
  
  The first step in increasing your nutrition level is learning about proper nutrition. It's easy to be tricked into eating foods that seem healthy but really aren't. In order to really improve your nutrition you will need to take your time and get a strong foundation of the basics.
  
  To find new foods that your children like, look for foods with a texture similar to what they already love, rather than looking for a similar taste. For example, a description of the food's texture could pique the child's curiosity enough to entice him or her to take a small bite.
  
  Changing the type of milk that you drink can make a huge difference. Both 1% milk and skim milk are full of the same vitamins and minerals found in whole and 2% milk; however, they do not have as many calories and fat. Try lower fat versions to help yourself look and feel better and get better nutrition.
  
  You should always limit the amount of sodium in your daily diet. High blood pressure is the result of consuming a lot of sodium. This leads to stroke, heart disease, and kidney failure. High sodium diets can also cause bone damage.
  
  As you can see from this article, successfully managing your diet is a process that requires both research and effort. You will only see results if you stay committed to the diet. Once you learn how to maintain your healthy new lifestyle, you will enjoy your success for the rest of your life.
