I sometimes go on a juice and smoothies diet to get rid of toxins. Combine strawberries, milk, yogurt, sugar, and vanilla in a blender. Add ice and blend it in a juicer https://houseandbeyond.org/best-juicer/ or blender until smooth and creamy. Very tasty and nourishing.

Here are some diet tips that I've found helpful for overall health and maintaining a healthy weight, based on what I've learned:
Focus on whole foods: These are foods that haven't been super processed and are closer to their natural state. Think fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. My meals tend to be a lot more colorful and interesting this way!
    Don't skip meals:  Skipping meals can actually make you hungrier later and lead to overeating.  I try to eat smaller meals and snacks throughout the day to keep my energy levels up.
    Cook more at home:  This way, you have more control over the ingredients in your food.  It can also be a fun way to experiment with new recipes and healthy twists on old favorites.
Be mindful of portion sizes: Even healthy foods can be high in calories if you eat too much of them. I use smaller plates and bowls to help with portion control.

A healthy, nutritious diet can help improve one's overall quality of life (mentally, physically, etc.) and even help prevent certain chronic diseases. According to the recent National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, Americans' eating patterns are improving in diet quality; however, approximately 75% of the US population's diet is low in vegetables and fruits, a majority of its population eats in excess added sugars and saturated fats, and approximately 39% of the US population is obese.
What are some tips and advice you have to ensure your diet is nutritious and caloric appropriate?
