When people say to “eat clean,” they mean to eat foods that are minimally processed or contain very few pesticides, added sugars, artificial colors, or chemical additives. Choosing organic fruits and vegetables is a great place to start. Some pesticides have been linked to neurological disorders while artificial colors, dyes, and sugars have been linked to attention deficit and hyperactivity disorders, especially in children. Go with foods that are minimally processed and search labels for hidden additives and other harmful ingredients.

Get Outdoors

Getting outdoors is the best way to boost vitamin D levels. Vitamin D is technically a hormone that the body soaks up from the sun through the skin. Being deficient in vitamin D has been linked to many major diseases, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and autoimmune disorders. Take exercise outdoors by going for a bike ride or reading a book in the park. Avoid applying sunscreen excessively as studies show that doing so can cause a vitamin D deficiency.
