This time of year is an inspiring time for reconsidering dietary choices. We've just spent the holiday season over-indulging in our favorite foods, and relaxing with family and friends. January also brings fresh new resolutions to improve our health, develop a good habit, or set our new goals for the year.
There are so many diets, and so many different advisors out there. Sometimes it can be overwhelming to keep up with them all.
For me, these health choices seem to resonate with a respectable level of truth - I will keep this updated as the truths evolve. I'm a firm believer in continually challenging myself to improve - so change is inevitable.
#1 Strive to include more fresh fruits and vegetables in every meal and snack
#2 Eat many small meals, rather than one or two large feasts - Plan ahead to eat before you truly feel hungry
#3 Avoid foods with more than 5 ingredients, overprocessed or overpackaged foods.
#4 Share mealtimes with others, whenever possible, but don't let others negatively influence your own healthyy choices.
#5 Mindful eating - pay attention to the food you are eating as well as how you are eating it. Whenever possible - do not combine eating with other activities. For example, eating while watching TV.
#6 Avoid sodas, and other sugar syrups as much as possible.
#7 Include oat bran daily
#8 Try a new recipe or food often
