In 2019, eating healthy is not hard because of the vast options that we have. The hardest part is re-training the brain upon what we should or shouldn’t eat. By now, we know that processed foods are not healthy for us and can lead to many diseases, but the accessibility still makes it an option.

Here are 10 easy ways to eat healthier today. 

10 Ways to Eat Healthier Today

1. Ditch the soda!

By now, we all know that artificially sweetened drinks are terrible for you (both diet and regular soda). If you still want something carbonated, try sparkling water that hasn’t any artificial sweetener and is free of artificial dyes.

2. Never let yourself get hungry

Eat 5-6 small meals a day and eat on a set time. If you allow yourself to get hungry the bad temptations will be harder to resist.

3. Tea!

Replace the second cup of coffee with green tea. It has a good amount of caffeine and it can also boost your metabolism.

4. Purchase easy accessible fruit and vegetables

Snacks are always marketed as easy access and quick food item. Why shouldn’t your fruits and vegetables be? Either food prep or purchase them in such a way.

5. Replace fatty meat with low-fat items like frozen shrimp

It is low-calorie and an easy item to fix. Just make sure that it is good frozen shrimp.

6. Brown over white

Switch to brown rice over white rice. Switch to whole grain over white bread. Did you know that brown rice is whole grain and white rice is bleached and hard for your body to digest?

7. Plan your cheat meal

Allow yourself to have a processed meal. Unless you are on a restricted “diet” for health reasons, have 1 naughty meal a week, but plan it. Plan it on the for the holiday or the night you have dinner out.

8. Start taking vitamins

Speak to your health professional first, but you will be surprised how a Multivitamin or Vitamin C can make a big impact.

9. Hide tempting food

If you have kids or others in the house that have the processed items, take them out of arms and eye reach. Out of sight, out of mind. 

10. Drink a lean protein shake to help satisfy a snack or meal

You can put fruits and vegetables in it or simply use almond milk.
