Five Easy Ways to Get Healthy and Feel Great in 2022

We’re still fresh into the new year which means it’s not too late to make (and keep) those pesky diet resolutions. Making the decision to eat healthy can be overwhelming, but it doesn’t need to be! It’s easy to make subtle menu adjustments and organize your kitchen in the process. Here are some tried-and-true tips to help you get started and stay motivated!

Stay Hydrated

Probably the most important tip on the list – having 6-8 glasses of fluid a day is essential. Thankfully, there are plenty of refreshing options to quench your thirst. Water, smoothies, juice, tea, seltzer, and more (without additives) all help you stay hydrated and give you energy to power through the day. Store your drinks in a drink holder rack or a fridge dispenser for easy access before and after a workout.

Meal Prep

Planning meals and grocery shopping with a list in advance helps to curb cravings and unnecessary purchases. Prep your weekly menu and have fun cooking up healthy recipes. Keep your pots, pans, and baking sheets sorted with compartmentalized organizer racks for hassle-free clean up. Keep small rolls of whole grain bread in a bread box on a countertop or island. Add flavor to your food with spices and seasoning you can display on a tiered shelf in your cabinet.

Portion Control

This goes hand-in-hand with meal prepping. Portion control helps you maintain what goes into your body at a given time without binging. Leftovers aren’t thrown out and you can make your grocery list work for you. Store your portioned, prepped meals in food safe bins in the fridge or freezer. When it’s time to eat, they’re easy to find!

Snacking

It’s good to snack throughout the day. Fruits, vegetables, granola bars, cereal, nuts, rice cakes, and more serve as a tasty treat between meals. Extend the life of your snacks and keep them fresh with an airtight storage container or with metal baskets you can display right on your counter. Use pre-printed, removable labels to find what you need and keep your kitchen clutter-free.

Mindfulness

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is a journey with plenty of ups and downs. It’s important to be mindful of every choice you make and don’t beat yourself up if you are off track occasionally. Have fun by styling your kitchen and pantry in an organized way so all your ingredients and goodies have an assigned spot. Make mealtime exciting with delicious recipes and have fun with the process!
