Nutrition Month – Make Space For Real Food
Reposted and adapted for Nutrition Week 03/09/2023 originally posted May, 2020
Nourishment
We got a few things right in 2020. One of those things was returning to meals at home. I’m bringing this article back for Nutrition week because there is so much good information here. Protein is important and there are two good downloads here. There is also a coloring pages offer with fun tips for health. Enjoy nutrition.
Select a healthy food or nutritional practice to add in every week and see how that goes. Learn more about nutrition and see how to make choices that are nourishing and make you feel better mentally and physically.
The other healthy by-product of social separation is a little bit of breathing space in the social pressures attached to meals.
Typically, we’ll share meals that represent our ethnic backgrounds. We use food in parties, celebrations, gatherings, and even as a part of our religious ceremony. This is a nice time to sit back and get some clarity on what we’ve always taken for granted. We can learn to build on our heritage and include it in healthy practice.
This is our opportunity to eat mindfully. It’s easier to eat mindfully if we:
- learn and practice portion sizes
- balance our meals with healthy nutrients
- actively manage our cravings with awareness
- learn and appreciate where our food comes from
- add in more plants
- take the time to enjoy our meals with others
- don’t eat while working, driving, or watching television
- chew our food thoroughly
- drink plenty of water (hydrate)
- become aware and appreciate color, texture, smell, and taste of foods
- enjoy food preparation
