Microwavable meals loaded with multisyllabic ingredients. Drive-thru dinner dashes. Calorie-drenched carry-outs. It’s no surprise that during the current COVID pandemic, it can be challenging to keep your nutrition on course. The good news is there are small things you can do right now.
Eat Better Now
Snack smart
Making small tweaks to your diet now can pay off big later. For example, snack smarter. Instead of chips or candy, choose a piece of fruit or some raw veggies with hummus.
Keep the junk out
It’s much easier to stay on track with your nutrition if you don’t have treats tempting you. If you have any diet saboteurs in your family, tell them to indulge in their sneaky snacks outside the house.
Prepare your own meals
By cooking, you not only can save money, but you have control over things like oil and sodium that are often abundant in restaurant foods.
Devise a Healthy Eating Roadmap
Eat when hungry
Okay, this sounds like a no-brainer, but it’s easy to engage in mindless eating that can pack on the pounds and harm your health. Be mindful of when you’re hungry and eat only then.
Choose a plant-based diet
Eat a diet that’s mainly comprised of fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and legumes as you’ll get more nutritional bang. Can’t give up meat entirely? You don’t have to, but treat it as a condiment instead of the main attraction.
Get nutrition support
While there’s a dizzying array of diets on the market—paleo, keto, South Beach, vegan, and more, it can be challenging to determine how to eat healthily for the long term. At Johns Creek Chiropractic and Wellness Center, we offer nutritional support to help people get the nourishment they need for optimal health.
