Publish date: Tuesday، 18 January 2022 Last update: Saturday، 11 May 2024

Being healthy is finally a trend. The food you eat can affect your health and risk of getting certain diseases. To eat healthier food, you may need to change some of your daily habits. You also may need to change some things in your environment. Your environment includes everything around you, like your home or the place you work.

You don't need to make huge changes to eat healthier. And you don't have to change your habits all at the same time. It's best to set small goals and change your habits a little bit at a time. Over time, small changes can make a big difference in your health. Here is your guide for a healthier lifestyle!

More Fruits

Keep more fruits, low-fat dairy products (low-fat milk and low-fat yogurt), vegetables, and whole-grain foods at home and at work. Focus on adding healthy food to your diet, rather than just taking unhealthy foods away.

Healthy recipe books

Buy a healthy-recipe book, and cook for yourself. Chew gum when you cook so you won't be tempted to snack on the ingredients.

Work lunch

Pack a healthy lunch and snacks for work. This lets you have more control over what you eat

Packing your snack

Put your snacks on a plate instead of eating from the package. This helps you control how much you eat.

Meal Plan

Don't skip or delay meals, and be sure to schedule your snacks. If you ignore your feelings of hunger, you may end up eating too much or choosing an unhealthy snack. If you often feel too hungry, it can cause you to focus a lot on food.

Drinks
