1/ Drink more water
It's so easy and so beneficial. Aim for 6-8 glasses of fluid a day, preferably water. Another benefit of staying well hydrated is that you won't mistake thirst for hunger.
2/ Eat the rainbow every day
Aim for foods of as many different colors as you can to maximize your nutrients. Pin a picture of a rainbow to the fridge to remind you.
3/ Be eager for omega
Omega-3 fatty acids are vital for brain function, as well as normal growth and development, so aim for at least one omega-3 food source every day, whether it's oily fish, a handful of walnuts, a spoonful of ground linseed on cereal, or a handful of macadamia nuts.
4/ Try new foods
Eating lots of different foods every day is more likely to lead to better health outcomes. That’s because you’re reaping the benefits of the various vitamins and minerals from a wide variety of sources. Be adventurous! Choose a new recipe to try each week, explore foreign foods or prepare the foods you love in different ways, like making cauliflower rice, sweet potato toast or zucchini noodles.
5/ Grow something from scratch
Make a resolution to grow something from seed. It could be sprouting seeds or herbs if you haven't got a big enough garden for a full-blown vegie patch. It’ll help you get used to thinking more about eating food in its natural state.
