Creating a healthy lifestyle doesn’t have to mean drastic changes. In fact, drastic changes almost always lead to failure. Making small changes in how you live each day can lead to big rewards, so figure out what you can to be healthy today.
The key to a healthy balance diet is not to ban or omit any food or food groups but to balance what you eat by consuming a variety of foods from each food group in the right proportions for good health.
If you’re looking for smaller changes, you can use these tips for simple ways to change how you eat:
Eat more fruit: Add it to your cereal, your salads or even your dinners.
Sneak in more veggies: Add them wherever you can – a tomato on your sandwich. Keep pre-cut or canned/frozen veggies ready for quick snacks.
Switch your salad dressing: if you eat full-fat dressing, switch to something lighter and you’ll automatically eat less calories.
Eat low-fat or fat-free dairy: switching to skim milk or fat free yoghurt is another simple way to eat less calories without having to change too much in your diet.
Make some substitutes: look through your cabinets or fridge and pick three foods you eat every day. Write down the nutritional content and the next time you’re at the store, find lower calorie substitutes for just those three items.
It’s never too late to change your habits, and by establishing a healthy lifestyle now, you’ll continue to reap the rewards in the future.
