How to Simplify Healthy Eating
Healthy eating sometimes gets pushed aside because it can feel so overwhelming and complicated, but healthy eating makes a difference in how we feel. When I am feeling anxiety and depression creep back into my life, I always check my eating, drinking and activity habits to see if they are helping or hurting my mental health. It's important to simplify healthy eating so it feels like something we can actually achieve.
Add greens to most meals - salads, spinach, avocado, green beans, etc. Greens have vital nutrients unlike other foods.
Make veggies your main course. You can have the meat, but make sure your veggies are more. Vegetables contain protein too. Our bodies need the vitamins provided from veggies.
Sip on water in between meals. Our body is 80% water so water helps all our bodily functions work properly and at their best. Plus, this helps regulate your hunger.
Make a Weekly Meal Plan. Less decisions mean more mental energy. Pre decide to eat good meals instead of on the fly when you are starving and on the road. It happens, it just can’t be your MO all the time. Check this freebie out to help you simplify meal planning.
Allow for some treats. Life is too short to not have the cake.
