How many times have you made a New Year’s resolution to eat healthier this year? And how many times have you failed?
I have to admit it – that’s the hardest thing I’ve ever tried to do – eat healthy! Are we so addicted to processed foods and sugar that we can’t get off that hamster wheel?
In 2019, the United States tied for 10th place (with Lithuania) among the world’s unhealthiest countries. And the reason for this is the rate of obesity and chronic health conditions.
We are doing something very wrong. And we’re not helping the next generation out of this mess.
So what can we do? First we need to become more aware – aware of what we are doing to ourselves and our children and grandchildren. I think if most of us were presented with a variety of foods, we could identify which ones were better for us to eat than others. But, we’re not choosing to eat them.
The next thing we need to do is develop tiny habits. What is one thing you can do today – one choice you can make that is a step toward eating healthier food? It’s unlikely that you or anyone will start today with good choices and be able to continue that as a habit. Just start with one thing today. Tomorrow is another chance to work on developing a healthier habit. Tiny steps turn into big results if repeated.
Here’s a quick and fun way to start becoming more aware. What type of eater are you?
