Healthy New Year’s Resolutions

 The holidays are coming to a close, which means many of us are starting to think about returning to a healthier lifestyle. Many of us overindulge over the holidays, perhaps grabbing too many portions of pie or over-stuffing ourselves on delicious savory roasts and creamy gravies. Though there is no crime in enjoying your favorite foods, once the season is over, most of us realize that we want to go back to feeling and eating healthy. 

As we near the start of a new year, join us in considering how we can make our lives a little healthier in 2020. To start, try some of these healthy new year’s resolutions on for size: 

Avoid Processed Food

One of the biggest temptations everyone faces on a diet is the temptation of processed and junk food. While fresh and healthy foods like fruits, vegetables, clean proteins, berries, etc. can help you feel more energetic, help you achieve weight loss goals, and more, processed food is sometimes hard to resist. Salty, savory, sweet, crunchy, junk food is everything people crave when they are at their ‘hangriest.’

Rather than succumbing to temptation, resolve this year to focus purely on fresh and healthy ingredients, rather than consuming bags of chips and candy. Want something crunchy? Maybe an apple will do the trick. Craving something sweet? Grab a handful of trail mix and enjoy a protein-filled sweet and savory treat. Want to change your entire diet? Try meal prepping, so you always have healthy meals ready to go. 

Whether you choose to meal prep your food to make sure you always have something fresh and healthy on hand, or you decide to make healthier choices in the moment, avoiding processed food can help you achieve a happier, healthier, more energetic 2020. 

Drink Lots of Water

Like eating fresh and healthy foods, drinking plenty of water is an essential part of maintaining a balanced diet. Drinking water morning, afternoon, and evening can help you avoid over-eating, fend off cravings, stay hydrated and alert, and improve energy and sleep quality. To make sure you are drinking enough water, consider including a few glasses of water in your daily meal prep. 

Like pre portioning your food and implementing fresh and healthy meal prep into your routine, pre portioning your water and sticking to a routine can help you achieve the healthy lifestyle you are looking for.
