Eat FIT, Be FIT: Simple Steps to A Healthier You
Achieving a healthy lifestyle doesn’t have to be complicated. Here are 5 useful tips provided by Eurest’s wellness and sustainability platform, Food with Purpose, that can help you implement a healthy Eat FIT and Be FIT lifestyle!
- Make Healthy Snacking a Habit:
Incorporate healthy snacks between meals to boost metabolism and maintain optimal blood sugar levels. Opt for snacks with a balance of carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and fiber.
Ideas include nut butter energy bites (see recipe!), whipped cottage cheese with fruit, a handful of blueberries and almonds, apple slices with peanut butter, or vegetable sticks with hummus.
- Keep Plants at the Center of Your Plate:
Prioritize plant-based foods, such as fiber-rich vegetables and whole grains. Starting with plant-based options can help regular blood glucose levels, offer heart health benefits, and ensure you get nutrient-dense foods. This is not only good for you, but good for the planet since plant foods produce less carbon emissions.
- Move Your Body Daily:
Integrate exercise and stretching into your daily routine. Whether it’s a walk, run, or weightlifting session, moving your body has numerous benefits from stress reduction and increasing focus to weight control and improving overall health.
- Explore Compass Group Resources:
