4 Buy organic and humanely raised meats whenever
2 possible. Be aware that the conventionally grown produce
in the grocery store has been fertilized with chemicals and sprayed
5
with pesticides and some has been genetically modified to create a
3
higher yield. To prevent these chemicals from entering your body,
it’s important to buy organic whenever possible. And avoid conven-
4
tional meat that has been pumped full of antibiotics. You’ll want to
opt for organic and humanely raised meats, too.
5 Be kind to your body. Eat five to six times throughout the
day and drink lots of water—around eight 8-ounce glasses
per day. Eating three small meals a day and two to three snacks
keeps your metabolism going and your body feeling satisfied and
full of energy. Sometimes you may think you are hungry, but you
really are just thirsty. Water is key to keeping your body function-
ing properly, so stay hydrated.

Why Choose to Eat Clean?

Clean eating is about feeding yourself the highest quality ingre-
dients to help your body perform its best. The foods we eat help
build muscle, maintain a healthy immune system, and protect
our organs. With clean eating, you’ll feel good about what you put
in your body—lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, lean proteins, and
whole grains—and you’ll see the results. By eating a diet that’s con-
sidered clean, you’ll have improved digestion, increased energy, and
a reduced risk for disease, according to a 2013 study published by
Nutrition Reviews.
While eating clean involves cooking many things from scratch
and buying organic, with a little planning and smart shopping, you
can make this lifestyle work for you, no matter the size of your
paycheck or how busy your schedule. Another great perk of eating
clean? Your meals will be hearty enough to fill you up, but you’ll
probably lose weight due to the overall healthier content of the
foods you’re eating.
