I have told myself that many times and yet junk food is at different times, part of my diet. It is hard with a busy lifestyle to be conscious of what you eat, but there are those who do it. Eating healthy along with exercise may help you live longer. I love to eat fruit and vegetables. I have researched many food websites to determine what are the healthiest foods I should eat. A website I found useful was The World's Healthiest Foods. It gives a list of fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds, grains, sea food, eggs and low fat dairy, beans, spices and herbs, poultry and meat, among other things that can serve as a basis for healthy eating. An example of the vegetables are:
Vegetables

- Cabbage
- Carrots
