Eat Fat
If eaten in moderation, some high-fat foods are super good for your health. Include avocados, eggs, fatty fish, olive oil, dark chocolate and cheese in your routine.

Watch your Food Portion
It is easy to let serving sizes creep up during the winter months due to holidays. Make spring a time to cut back to healthier portions. We usually eat more out of large jars/containers and when we pour out our favorite foods into a bowl or plate, we often pour too much. Use smaller plates and serve dinner from the stove rather than on the table.
Think Green
Green veggies are the best thing to have in Spring. They are colorful, low in calories, rich in nutrients and antioxidants, and can help prevent heart diseases. Spinach, kale, broccoli, asparagus, and peas are full of iron and vitamins that help in reducing inflammation in muscles after a strenuous workout. Fiber helps the body in losing weight while the magnesium and potassium present in the vegetable help build muscle strength.

They also help you burn calories and lose weight. Many people experience digestion issues with change of weather, whole grain foods helps in eliminating toxins from the body. Try to include grain like quinoa, amaranth or wild rice, into your diet.
Avoid Salt and Sugar

The American Heart Association recommends keeping added sugars under 6 teaspoons a day for women and 9 teaspoons for men. Incorporate more veggies and fruits since they have natural sugar and help you stay healthy.

Cut 1,000 mg out every day and you could lower your risk of heart disease by up to 9 percent, according to a study in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Add Strawberries to Your Diet

Strawberries not only make for an optimal post-workout smoothie or shake, but they are also an ideal way to develop muscle strength. Usually, a strenuous workout releases free radicals in the body, which prolong muscle recover. However, the addition of strawberries in the post-workout menu help get rid of these free radicals.
Hydrate
Spring season is the best time for cleansing. Water is essential for the function of every organ system, helping to circulate oxygen and whisk away toxins. If you don’t like drinking plain water, squeeze some lemon or lime. Green tea is also excellent and has a bevy of health benefits from boosting immunity to fighting cavities.
