It’s a new year, and more importantly, the perfect time to enjoy fresh, healthy snacks and meals on a regular basis. Ziploc® Brand products make it easy to plan healthy meals, keep snacks fresh and manage portions. Plus, the trusted Ziploc® seal lets you feel confident that your food will stay fresh—whether you’re storing meals for later or taking snacks on the go.
Healthy living is all about eating, moving and feeling good about it. Here are a few simple steps to get you going or to just keep you on track if you’ve already started.
1. Make sure you’re eating a variety of foods. No one food can give you all the nutrients you need, so make sure you follow the food guide pyramid and read nutritional facts closely on food labels.
2. Portion control is key. We can all overeat if the plate or bowl is oversized. Try smaller plates at home & use Ziploc® Brand Bags and Containers when you’re on-the-go!
3. Don’t miss a meal–it can lead to overeating. Instead, try to eat more smaller meals throughout the day. Staying full is a great way to avoid temptation.
4. Reduce sodium. There is hidden sodium in many foods we eat like bread, cereal and salad dressing. Watch where it’s at and try reducing it in your diet. And ask for less salt in your meal when dining out!
5. Blueberries are bursting with nutrients and flavor, yet are very low in calories. Keep them fresh in Ziploc® Containers.
6. Vegetables provide nutrients vital for health and maintenance of your body. Keep them fresh in Ziploc® Brand Bags.
7. Steaming preserves the vitamins and minerals in foods. It’s also healthy because you do not have to add any oils or fats. Make it easy by using Ziploc® Zip ‘n Steam® Bags
8. Grains found in bread fuel the body for physical activity and are part of a healthy diet. Keep them fresh with easy access in Ziploc® Brand Slider Bags.
