Healthy Eating Habits

Eating healthy doesn’t have to be difficult, time consuming or even expensive. Many people are afraid of eating properly because they do not understand how they can make it easier on themselves. When you are trying to eat healthier, it is important that you understand the importance of taking small steps. Making drastic changes to your eating habits may not be very sustainable.

You may want to try…

• To find as many colorful fruits and vegetables as you can.
• Experimenting with new fruits and vegetables to find produce that you will enjoy eating.
• Only eating meats that have been trimmed of as much fat as possible.
• Eating as much calcium-filled foods as possible.
• Aiming for balance between the different food groups.

Many people start new diets when the New Year starts.  It is important that you view your change in eating as a lifestyle change rather than a diet. A lifestyle change will ensure that you are instituting change that is actually going to stick.

Eating the food that you purchase in moderation will also be helpful. You should be sure that you are not over eating any one food group.

Choosing one small goal with your eating can make a big difference in the long run.  Working on one small goal at a time is a great way to ensure that you are going to be able to build habits and changes in your diet that can last you throughout the rest of your life.
