It’s time to assess your New Year health goals. Are your old eating habits sneaking back up on you? Maybe you tried to take on too many changes at once, or you set unrealistic goals, or the scale isn’t moving as quickly as you’d like. Maybe a shift in focus is in order. Rather than trying to tackle everything at once, think about a few small changes that you’re confident you can make right away, even today. That way you’ll build on each small success and rebuild a healthier and better diet, step by step.
Here are five simple things you can do today to vastly improve your diet.
- Swap sugary desserts for fruits
Save hundreds of calories, and enjoy more vitamins, minerals, fibre and antioxidants. - Switch to 100% wholegrain bread
Choose the healthier choice over white bread, and also receive more much needed fibre. - Double-up your veggies
Enjoy nutrient density and get plenty of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants in exchange for a low-calorie cost. - Have calcium-rich food
Include a good dose of bone-building calcium in your daily diet. - Try some seafood
Fish contains heart-healthy omega-3 fats, yet it’s low in calories and high in protein.
