Eat Like a Bird

You know how birds peck and eat small amounts throughout the day? That’s a great way to eat; we can learn a lot from our feathered friends. Think of revving up your metabolism by eating frequent, small meals during the day. Actually what birds eat – seeds, are a nourishing food to add to your day. Try flax, chia and hemp seeds tossed into your salads, sprinkled over yogurt or as a coating for baked chicken breast. A small amount will do, just 2 tablespoons a day offers a wealth of heart-healthy omega-3 fats, as well as fiber and protein to your day.
