Choose Whole-Grain
Choose whole-grain instead of multi-grain. Whole-grain means the entire grain kernel, including all the fiber, has been included. Multi-grain means only that more than one type of grain was used--and those grains could be refined and stripped of fiber and nutrients.

Choose an English Muffin
Choose an English muffin instead of a bagel for a 220-calorie savings. The average whole-grain bagel is 350 calories, versus 130 for an English muffin. And top it with almond butter instead of cream cheese to get a protein boost without added calories.

Dress Your Salad
Dress your salad with avocado instead of store-bought creamy dressings. You'll increase your intake of folate and lower your intake of unhealthy fats--which ultimately will protect your heart. For a simple dressing, puree avocado and lemon juice, then season with salt and pepper.

Buy Organic Vegetables
Buy organic vegetables whenever possible. Besides avoiding pesticide residues, you may get more nutrients--some studies and reviews have found that organic fruits and vegetables contain, on average, 25% higher concentrations of 11 nutrients than their conventional counterparts.
