Low Fat Milk - Calcium is important for our bones, but drinking straight up 2 percent milk can be as fatty as French fries. So opt for skim milk/1 percent milk or nut and rice milk to get your calcium minus the fat. (Photo: Nenov/GettyImages)

Fresh Veggies - We all know that we need to eat seven or more servings of fruits and veggies a day. You can’t make that goal if you don’t own them. Stock up on veggies such as carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, peppers, corn and peas. Also grab some frozen veggies, too. (Photo: Chris Hondros/Getty Images)
