Leslie Eckert: What does a healthy diet consist of

Leslie Eckert is a certified personal Yoga & fitness trainer from Boston. Leslie Eckert has over 10 years of experience and leadership in the fitness industry.

A healthy diet to be followed is to
1. Eat your local food
2. Eat in season
3. Eat home food
4. Eat healthy alternatives if you eat out.

By eating local food, I mean that you should eat fruits and vegetables grown near you. E.g cherries are healthier if you are eating them in Kashmir instead of eating them in Kerala. Mangoes are better to eat in India than eating the imported ones in America. Eating local food is the healthiest.

Eat in season. If it’s not the season for Mousambi (sweet lime), don’t go fetching for them since they are clearly not the healthiest option. If it’s not the season for carrots (since they mostly come in winters), don’t eat it in summers. If it is grown in that season, there has to be a reason. Go with that flow.

Eat as much home food as you can. Outside food, no matter how healthy it is, will have more oil and other ingredients you do not need. Home food is the healthiest (and the yummiest)!

Eating healthy alternatives is something I follow religiously when I eat out. Like eating a steak instead of a burger will give you way more protein and fiber.
