Surprisingly Simple, Easy Healthy Habits
There are numerous surprisingly simple, easy healthy habits which can be incorporated into your everyday living. I encourage you to look ahead to the reward of easy healthy habits rather than the discomfort of making a change. Making a change requires you making up your mind and committing to taking action. Here’s a few more surprisingly simple easy healthy habits to consider:
- When you think you are hungry even though you have eaten, try drinking a glass of water before you dive into something else to eat. Sometimes your body is telling you, you are thirsty!
- Not a fan of plain water? Fill your glass half with juice or tea and the other half with water.
- Get enough rest. Try to go to bed at night at the same time even if you aren’t sleepy, the rest will do you good.
- Try alternative snacks–nuts, fruits, veggies. Figure out what you like (sweet, salty, crunchy).
- Dance, it’s fun and it’s movement!
- I leave a water glass conveniently beside my pitcher of water.
- Use smaller plates for meals. We generally have a tendency to fill the space on our plate. If you’re like me, I was raised to clean my plate.
- Use ramekins to measure out portions. These small dishes range in size from 3.5 to 6 ounces.
- Remember your best food choices lie in the perimeter of the grocery store–don’t get sucked into the middle, that’s where the tempting stuff is stocked.
- Water with the juice of 1/2 lemon before bed helps eliminate toxins from your body. I do this for one full month per quarter. It’s also great for my complexion.
Find healthy snack alternatives that you enjoy!
