Has your healthy eating routine slipped lately? It's never too late to get back on track. These proven tips from nutrition experts make it easy to eat healthier right now.
1. Include vegetables with every meal
Kick off your day with a veggie-packed smoothie, pair lunch with a fresh salad, and add a serving of vegetables to dinner.
2. Plan ahead
Healthy eating is simpler with a plan. Create a weekly menu together and build your shopping list from it. You'll shop less often, with even more benefits. Read here how to put together a weekly menu.
3. Try new recipes
Step beyond the usual—test one new recipe weekly or experiment with unfamiliar healthy ingredients. Visit a health food store or organic market for fresh ideas.
4. Prep in advance
Mornings are hectic, so prepare breakfast and lunch the night before. Chop dinner veggies too, eliminating excuses for takeout.
5. Savor every meal mindfully
Being present with your food helps curb overeating. Sit at the table (and don't eat in one of these places†). Also read our tips for conscious eating.
6. Stock healthy snacks
Keep nutritious options at home and in your office drawer. This arms you against cravings with always-ready healthy choices.
