9. Minimize animal fats.
If you reduce the amount of foods like cheese or butter, your meal will be healthier because you have reduced the amount of saturated fat. Consider replacing half of the butter you typically use with olive oil, or using super-fine grated cheese, which lets you use less while seeming like more.
10. Minimize processed foods.
Processed and packaged foods, like frozen meals or jars of pasta sauce, usually have more salt and sugar. Packaged foods also often have other chemical preservatives and additives.\
