At Healthline Nutrition, we want to help you eat food that makes you feel good. Looking at science is always where we start, but we understand that real-life eating doesn\u2019t fit some perfect nutrient pattern. Here\u2019s how you can refresh your eating habits while still enjoying your meals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Almost every January, without fail, people become interested in nutrition, health, and wellness. There are countless resolutions around weight loss, specific eating patterns, fitness goals, and more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

While I love to see the enthusiasm around taking better care of yourself, all too often, it starts with eliminating countless foods and hitting the gym 7 days a week. The lofty start may sound great but tends to fizzle out after a couple of weeks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Instead of banishing sugar, carbs, or bread \u2014 what if you focused on small, positive changes you could make? Swaps that may not feel as significant but are much more likely to be sustainable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It\u2019s estimated that only about 9% of people stick to their resolutions every year. Why not try a healthy refresh instead? It\u2019s not as exciting, but getting back to basics is important.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

If you\u2019re feeling confused about where to start, you\u2019re not alone. Almost everyone has an opinion about nutrition, and it\u2019s not always \u2014 err, rarely \u2014 based in evidence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

On social media, it can be overwhelming to sift through nutrition information and figure out what\u2019s true and what makes sense for you. I encourage you to start with what the science says and also start small.<\/p>\n

New researchTrusted Source<\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0was just published, showing how important hydration is for healthy aging, so\u00a0drink more water<\/a>\u00a0(perhaps a\u00a0new water bottle<\/a>\u00a0will help motivate you).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We know that\u00a0sleep<\/a>\u00a0is important for overall health and impacts your appetite and food cravings (try these\u00a0science-based tips for better sleep<\/a>).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Almost\u00a090% of usTrusted Source<\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0aren\u2019t eating the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables, but we have some creative and\u00a0simple ways to help you get your fill<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

If you\u2019re already checking those boxes, and getting some movement in, good for you. Think about other small ways to refresh your eating habits. Maybe you make it a goal to try one new food a week, eat\u00a0protein-rich foods<\/a>\u00a0at most meals and snacks, cook more at home, or\u00a0meal prep\u00a0<\/a>on Sundays.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Notice how most of the small changes I mention are positive. They\u2019re foods or habits you can add to your day. I don\u2019t like restriction or deprivation, but I believe that adding some good stuff can naturally help crowd out other behaviors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
