20 Healthy Eating Reminders

We all know it can be hard to eat healthily with our fast-paced modern lives. The fragile balance of a healthy diet is so easily compromised by our busy lives with convenience often favoured over quality. Many people forget how easy healthy eating can be with the right guidance and advice and are too quick to use their lack of time as an excuse.

Hopefully, these 20 Healthy Eating Reminders will make healthy eating easier;

Drink Water. Feel naturally hydrated and energised all day long.

Healthy Snacks. Carrot sticks, celery, fruit etc… revitalising and motivating.

Variety, Variety and Variety. All good things in moderation, even treats.

Digestion Support. Drink green/lemon tea, chew mints or take a quick walk.

Chew and Eat Slowly. One of the hidden secrets of vitality and good health.

Change of Scene. Take lunch away from your desk and enjoy every moment.

Choose “Healthy Versions”. Select the most balanced sandwich/meal available.

Your Body is a Temple. Be ultra-watchful of what you feed it and “listen” to it.

Eat for the Temperature. Warming dishes in winter, cooling ones for summer.

Think Food Preparation. Go for grilled, steamed, baked or roasted not fried.

Think Ingredients. Choose what is in season and deliciously fresh.

Walk after Eating. Even a brisk 10 minutes makes you feel wonderfully light.

Measure. Count and record to make sure you get your “5 a day” of fruit and veg.

Little and Often/Less Later. The earlier you eat the better you digest your food.

Research. Do research to confirm that you get the right balance of vitamins.

Sprinkle on Top. Make ordinary food healthy by sprinkling “good stuff” over it.

Read the Label. Go for low-fat, “natural”, balanced foods wherever possible.

Healthy Items First. Take salad/veg. as a starter and leave less room for all else.

Start the Day Right. A healthy breakfast speeds your metabolism and energises.
Keep a Diary. Aim to write down and keep track of your healthy consumption.

Warning: please take medical advice before making any changes to your habits or lifestyle.
