5 Nutrition Tips for the New Year
Sunday January 17, 2016

- Try to eat smaller portions. One easy way to do this is to purchase smaller plates to use at home.
- Pace your meals. When you eat too quickly, your body sometimes doesn’t have time to realize that you’re full.
- Make water readily available around the house and at work. That way, you’ll be less inclined to drink unhealthy beverages.
- Don’t go shopping when you’re hungry. Also, try to purchase nutritious food by using the “outer ring” strategy at the grocery store. Many stores place healthier food—such as fruit, vegetables, nuts and dairy products—on the outskirts of the store, and leave less nutritious products in the center aisles. Avoid those center aisles as much as you can.
- Buy foods with whole grains. When grains are processed, the most nutritious parts are removed.
