Healthy eating is all about moderation and balance. There will be some days when you do not eat healthy foods and it is normal in your busy, sometimes stressful, life. Below are five simple but effective ways to help you improve your eating habits:
- Nourish your body throughout the day and avoid skipping meals.
- Eat slowly and without the distractions of TV, computers or smart phones.
- Rather than worry about 'good' versus 'bad' foods, remember that moderation is the key.
- Use caffeine in moderation, particularly if you are prone to anxiety or sleep problems.
- Become more conscious of why you eat when you are not hungry. Sometimes we use food to cope with feelings of boredom, unhappiness, loneliness or social pressure.
