Healthy Food, Healthy Life

One of the most difficult parts of a healthy lifestyle is maintaining it. Here are 5 top tips on how to make sure you stay on track this new year:

   1. Prep fruits and veggies in advance
Cut up fruits and vegetables ahead of time, store them in airtight containers in the fridge, and keep them covered with a damp towel. This can save time and make healthy eating easier.

   2. Meal prep snacks
Plan your snacks to avoid mindless eating and overeating. Prepare 3-5 days’ worth of healthy, easy-to-grab snacks, such as:

   • Cut carrots and cucumbers with dip.
   • Wholemeal wraps with hummus.
   • Homemade banana and zucchini muffins.
   • Trail mix of nuts, seeds, and berries.

   3. Aim for balanced meals
Balanced meals boost focus, productivity, and mood. Include protein, healthy fats, fibre, and veggies in your lunches.

   4. Stick to regular mealtimes
Plan meals 3-4 hours apart to avoid boredom eating. Set reminders and create a routine, so you stay on track.

   5. Eat mindfully
Take breaks away from your work desk to enjoy meals. Avoid eating in front of screens and ask yourself if you’re really hungry before snacking. Keep snacks out of sight to avoid mindless eating.
