You want to eat healthier, and you don’t want to diet.
I get it. In fact, I support it!
A healthy lifestyle isn’t about going on an extreme diet or not enjoying your food.
Eating healthy can be easy, affordable and delicious. It’s all about making smart choices to build an overall healthy dietary pattern.
After all, a healthy diet can help reduce your risk of heart disease, stroke and lots of other things you’d rather avoid. The good news is, eating right doesn’t have to be hard or require you to give up all of the foods you love.
TIPS
* Choose mindfully, even with healthier foods. Ingredients and nutrient content can vary a lot.
* Read labels. Compare nutrition information on package labels and select products with the lowest amounts of sodium, added sugars, saturated fat and trans fat, and no partially hydrogenated oils.
* Watch your calories. To maintain a healthy weight, eat only as many calories as you use up through physical activity. If you want to lose weight, take in fewer calories or burn more calories.
* Eat reasonable portions. Often this is less than you are served, especially when eating out.
* Cook and eat at home. You’ll have more control over ingredients and preparation methods.
* Look for the Heart-Check mark to easily identify foods that can be part of an overall healthy eating pattern.

Refreshing Blackberry Mojito Mocktail
1/2 cup fresh blackberries, 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, 1 1/2 tsp granulated cane sugar, Juice of 1 lime, divided in half, 2–3 cups ice, 16 oz club soda.
Wash and dry the blackberries and mint.
Add the blackberries, mint, and sugar to a small bowl.
Use a muddling tool to muddle the blackberries, mint and sugar. Press firmly down with the muddler and twist it back and forth. Continue until the mint is fragrant and the blackberries resemble jam.
Spoon an equal amount of the muddled mixture into two 16 ounce drinking glasses.
Add an equal amount of lime juice to each glass.
Fill each cup with ice, almost to the top.
Pour club soda into each glass.
Use a spoon to mix the mocktails up, so the berry and mint mixture is well dispersed.
Garnish with sprigs of mint or lime slices, and serve with a drinking straw.
