Eating Healthy

Aloha ‘Ohana,

Eating healthy doesn’t mean giving up your favorite foods forever. Healthy eating is all about moderation. If you make the changes gradually, you’re more likely to stick to them. Here are some small changes to make the healthy choice, the easy choice:

• Eat a small snack of raw, non-starchy vegetables like carrots, celery, broccoli, or peppers before going out to a restaurant or party. You will feel less hungry and be less likely to overindulge.

• Use smaller plates and bowls at mealtimes. Although your portion size will be smaller, your plate will look full while you still enjoy your favorite foods.

Remember, eating nutritious foods can improve not only your overall health but also reduce your risk for many chronic diseases. 

Mahalo and have a great Aloha Thursday!
