Choose Healthy Fats

Add Fermented Foods to Your Menu

Add Fermented Foods to Your Menu Fermented foods help you become BFF with your gut flora. Your options include sauerkraut, kimchi, yogurt, kombucha, miso, kefir, tempeh, kefir, and soy sauce.

13

Eat Less Processed Meat

Eat Less Processed Meat Yes, sorry ladies, it’s time to reduce your intake of delicious deli meats. Pass on the polony, say sayonara to the salami and kick the kielbasa to the curb. Many processed meats contain nitrates and loads of salt (due to curing processes).

14

Eat More Whole Foods

Eat More Whole Foods By eating whole foods you reduce your risk of diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Eating more whole foods means you increase your fiber and complex carbs and reduce your intake of refined carbs, simple sugars and salt.

15

Make Your Indulgences Worthy

Make Your Indulgences Worthy Don’t deprive yourself of treats. Instead make them an adventure. Instead of reaching for your old favorites, try something new. Your treats can be a journey of excitement for your taste buds. Small, smart indulgences go a long, long way toward enjoyment.

16

Begin a Love Affair with Ancient Grains

Begin a Love Affair with Ancient Grains Instead of potatoes, rice and pasta, treat yourself to “ancient” grains like quinoa, farro, millet, buckwheat, spelt, kammut, amaranth, teff, sorghum, wild rice, black barley, and blue corn. They're fiber- and protein-rich and loaded with nutrients.

17

Be Better with Beverages

Be Better with Beverages It’s so easy to be mindless about what is in your drinks. If your beverage is anything but water or herbal tea or black coffee, remember there are going to calories. And if not calories there could be additives and unnatural sweeteners. Make good beverage choices.

How many of these will you start doing this year?

*metabolism😉 Have a happy lifestyle this 2017.

Great resolution i will do it :)

I'll try it!

Fish is really good for the body. And not eating food with lots of sugar will help you too, to maintain a healthy diet. Going a 5 mins excercise will improve your body and dringking coffee everymorning with breakfast is the best for it helps your metabolis

For #6, does that go for all fish or just certain ones? I am going to start eating more fish, but I don't know exactly which ones. :)

I've started the year with no sugar, sugar cubes or artificial sweeteners in the house..... Don't know how long I can hold out, but it's worth a try

They all look so good I'm feeling pressured lol! 😍

Starting from this day on.. I have decided to not drink any soda/pop anymore. It is really bad for your teeth because of the acid and it contains so much sugar! Now I will try to drink at least 2 bottles of water a day. 2 glasses of milk and tea without any sugar as much as I can. As for multivitamin drinks and stuff. One glass a day is fine, I think! I really hope I'll keep it up
