“Eating clean” means eating healthy, whole, unprocessed foods and eliminating packaged foods and other foods high in sugar, fat, sodium, or preservatives. In addition to helping with weight loss, clean eating often leads to higher energy levels.
One way to eat clean is to support your local farmers by shopping at farmers’ markets. Buying food directly from producers means you can learn exactly what methods they are using to produce and raise animals for eggs, dairy, and meat.
When selecting foods, keep in mind that leafy green vegetables are among the most nutritious choices. Clean eating means incorporating foods such as spinach, kale, and arugula into your meals. In addition to salads, these greens can be added to smoothies, omelets, and soups to help you get multiple servings of leafy greens per day.
