A Healthier Lifestyle

Easy changes for a healthier lifestyle

  1. Cut out soda and other sugary drinks. 
    • Focus on drinking more water. Plus, you won't have added calories with no nutritional benefits.
    • Tip: If this seems impossible to cut completely, start by switching out one drink per day for water. 
  2. Focus on listening to your stomach.
    • It takes time for your stomach to signal to your brain that you are full. Work on eating slowly and focusing on how your stomach feels to notice when you're satisfied.  
  3. Plate meals at the counter rather than placing serving dishes on the table.
    • You will be less likely to overeat when you do not see food sitting on the table in front of you. This will give you the chance to listen to your body to stop when you're full if you have to get up to get more food. 
  4. Add vegetables whenever possible. 
    • Aim to include veggies with every meal.  
    • Tip: Have a salad before your dinner or throw some vegetables into your sauce.
  5. Park in the furthest spot. 
    • Not only will you usually always find a parking spot wayyyy in the back, but it also adds a few extra steps in your day. Parking far away forces you to move a little more while also accomplishing your errands.
