Maintaining Healthy Eating Habits

Maintaining Healthy Eating Habits

If you've jump-started your health journey in 2025, keep going! Health is more than just a fad, it's about providing your body with the most nutritious food and fitness routines to keep your body in its optimal health.

So, what do the experts say about succeeding on your health journey and maintaining healthy eating habits? You should learn to replace unhealthy habits with new ones and unhealthy foods with healthier substitutions.

Here's what the experts say (with our notes interspersed):

• Minimize distractions
  Minimize distractions, such as watching the news while you eat. Such distractions keep you from paying attention to how quickly and much you eat.
  
  Garden of Goodness note: Plus you can enjoy healthy food with your family and friends and you can encourage each other on your health journey as well as being able to try new dishes!
   
• Eat slowly
  If you eat too quickly, you may clean your plate instead of paying attention to whether your hunger is satisfied.
  
  You may realize that you eat too fast when you eat alone. If so, share a lunch each week with a colleague. Or, have a neighbor over for dinner one night a week. Another strategy is to put your fork down between bites.
  
  Garden of Goodness note: Eating slower has numerous benefits such as aiding your digestion (with proper chewing) and really being able to enjoy the rich flavorful food!
   
• Eat only when you're truly hungry
  This will help you avoid eating when you are tired or anxious. Try to find a non-eating activity to do instead. You may find a quick walk or phone call with a friend can help you feel better.
  
  Garden of Goodness note: If you eat out of boredom or stress, try to find healthy alternatives so as not to eat when you are not hungry.
   
• Plan meals ahead of time
  This will help ensure you eat a healthy well-balanced meal.
  
  Garden of Goodness note: Meal planning helps prevent impulse eating or not eating the best combinations of healthy portions for your health journey. Of course, if you need a snack, substitute your snacks with healthier ones or a nice piece of fruit.
