Wellness Tip of the Week
Cultivate healthy eating habits. 🥭🥕🍈🥬🫐🍠🍄🟫🫚
A full dietary overhaul can feel overwhelming, and isn't always sustainable. Instead of changing everything about the way you eat, finding small ways to add extra nutrition to your day can go a long way in helping you 🙂↕️ feel your best.
Aiming for at least two and a half servings of vegetables each day is ideal, but it's OK to start small. Adding a single serving of veggies 🥑 to your day is a solid step up from eating no veggies at all. A side salad with dinner, carrot and celery sticks for a snack, or adding a veggie-loaded soup to your lunch can all help boost your nutrient intake.
Adopt the Japanese principle of hara hachi bu, which means eating until you're 80% full. Those of us who were told to clean our plates while growing up often struggle to know when to stop eating🥢 . Checking in with yourself regularly over the course of your meal can help you understand how to feel satisfied without feeling stuffed ☺️.
