Happy, Healthy New Year! Ring in 2010 by focusing on changing your thinking about food and health rather than focusing on the do’s & don’ts of actual resolutions. Studies show that what a person thinks about is what they will eventually gravitate towards. So, start with small steps. Change one thing in your diet &/or exercise habits at a time. For example, focus on eating a healthy breakfast or just start eating breakfast. Once you have mastered that meal, move on to lunch. If you don’t exercise at all, then start by taking a 15-20 minute walk three times a week. Gradually increase to each day. Over time, these new changes will become healthy habits and ultimately help improve your health and longevity. Some simple foods that can be incorporated into new habits include using natural sugar substitutes such as PureVia. It can be added to cold or hot items and used in baking as well. Keep healthy snacks handy such as Precious String Cheese. Not only can you take it on the go, but it’s a source of low-fat protein and calcium as well. In addition, try a smoothie for breakfast made with Mountain High Yoghurt. It’s all natural, contains no preservatives and is packed full of calcium and protein. For a healthy drink, try Fuze Slenderize. It contains ingredients that may help increase metabolism and support immune system. Drink it straight from the bottle or go to www.drinkfuze.com to use it in a recipe.
Make it a Healthy Year!
