At the start of the new year, many of us want to start fresh and create new healthy habits. The most common new year's resolution is eating healthier and making healthy meals. Don’t know where to start? Here are a few tips to help you on your healthy eating journey.
- Plan and prepare: Plan your meals ahead of time, and try to prepare meals at home. This will give you better control over ingredients and portion sizes as well as decreasing the implusing of eating unhealthy meals.
- Focus on adding and not subtracting: focus on what you can add to your meals/diet instead of what you can take away. Feel like your meal needs more green? Try adding more vegetables like Asparagus or Broccoli.
- Variety of foods: Eating a diverse range of foods ensures that you get a broad spectrum of nutrients. Don't be afraid to try new fruits, vegetables, grains, and proteins.
