From Elizabeth Scott, M.S., your About.com Health Editor
Many of us have a few dietary habits that are putting us at a disadvantage, either by negatively affecting our energy levels, mood, or waistline. If there aren't bad habits in your diet, there might be some missed opportunities that could lead to greater health. This week, we encourage you to reexamine your eating habits and make at least one change in what you eat--adding fruits and vegetables, cutting out some sugar, or other minor tweaks that add up to a healthier you. You'll be glad you did! --Elizabeth Scott

How Are Your Current Eating Habits?
Sometimes we don't realize how our eating habits are affecting us. Sometimes we're not fully aware of what we're actually eating. Becoming aware of your current situation is an important first step toward changing it! Here are some resources to help.

Easy Substitutions That Lead To A Better Diet
Diets that don't allow us to eat our favorite foods can often feel like deprivation, making us crave what we can't have. However, you can often swap out one food for another and greatly improve the nutritional value of your meal without really missing what you lost. Here are some simple substitutions to keep in mind.

Best Ingredients To Add To Your Meals
Some of the best health-diet strategies simply involve adding healthier foods to your regular meal rotation. By doing this, you naturally eat less of the unhealthy fare because you're filling up on better choices, but you never feel deprived. Here are some foods to add to your diet to pack in the nutrition and crowd out the filler.
