Health Tip: Stick With Your Healthy-Eating Resolution
By LadyLively on January 17, 2017
Now that you’ve committed to healthier eating for the new year, it’s way too soon to give up on this important resolution.
The American Heart Association suggests:
- Throw away foods that are highly processed, replacing them with healthier fare. Read food labels to identify healthy choices.
- Be honest about your diet. Gorging on a fruit pie or carrot cake doesn’t count as eating fruits or vegetables!
- Vow to cook more often at home. Look for new, healthy recipes, trying a new one once monthly.
- Cut back on salt. Include more nuts and seeds in your diet, and make sure to include fiber-rich skin on apples and potatoes.
- If you’re heading to a party, eat just a few indulgent treats. Fill up on fruit and vegetables before you go.
- Push for healthier foods in your child’s school, and keep plenty of healthy snacks at home.
- Don’t forget to get active! Find ways to exercise daily.
