New Year's resolutions often end with the end of January. At Verdeat, we encourage you to take small steps to change your lifestyle into a healthier and more environmentally friendly one. It is worthwhile to analyze your daily habits and then make small changes that will have positive health effects.
How to start eating healthier?
If you want to stay healthy and take care of your well-being in the New Year, do not start with a drastic diet that you will most likely abandon after a week. Instead of taking radical steps, start by having more vegetables and fruit in your daily diet. You will naturally feel more energetic and happier. Try to create a healthy habit by starting with a fruit and vegetable smoothie each day. Remember that changing your eating habits is a process that takes place over time, so be patient.

A few simple ways to improve your health
1. Eat colorfully
Go for vegetables and fruit in your diet. Colorful plants contain a huge amount of vitamins and minerals that nourish and strengthen the body.
In addition, they are full of antioxidants and phytochemicals to support the appearance of skin, hair, and nails. The more colors there are on your plate, the greater the variety of nutrients. The simplest form of serving are cocktails and salads.
2. Read labels, buy from a reliable source
Reading labels is very important if we want to eat healthier and give our body the best quality fuel. The habit of checking the ingredients effectively reduces the amount of sugar, salt, and many unnecessary ingredients that are added to products that we find on store shelves. The shorter the list of ingredients, the more natural the product is. The nutritional quality of the foods in your daily diet is essential to your well-being.
