Developing healthy eating habits not only keeps your body in good health and in great shape, but it also makes you feel wonderful! During times of stress we tend to eat more junk food to make ourselves feel better; which actually makes us feel worse. A healthy body leads to a healthy mind; that's why it is so important to eat nutrient-rich foods.
The most optimal way to incorporate a healthy eating regimen into your daily life is to ingest fresh fruits, vegetables, legumes, dairy, fish/poultry and whole grains. It is wise to limit your intake of processed foods, red meat, oil and high sodium sugary snacks. Another important aspect of eating healthy is to hydrate your body with plenty of water each day.
There are a lot of resources available for you to educate yourself on specific foods you can eat that will maintain your physical health and emotional well-being.
It seems that many people get gung-ho about eating healthy on January 1st. Then, soon after the New Year begins, the resolution fades and people go back to old eating habits. So how can you stay on track?
- Set clear goals
- Associate with friends and others who practice healthy living
- Practice self-discipline
- Avoid junk food purchases
- Set a limit on wine and alcohol
- Hire a personal coach or team up with a friend for support
