5 Suggestions to Feel Your Best During National Nutrition Month®
March is National Nutrition Month®, and this year's theme is "Put Your Best Fork Forward." Here are some tips from the UNJURY® dietitians to do just that!
- Eat an assortment of healthy foods.
- Liven up your meals with different colors, textures, and flavors. Include vibrant vegetables, fragrant spices, fresh herbs, and flavor extracts.
- With UNJURY, you have 6 different flavors to choose from to really enjoy your protein.
- If you're looking for variety, remember to visit our recipe section for a delicious selection of dishes to make your meal plan more exciting.
- Cook at home and experiment with new recipes.
- Try a new preparation method for a different flavor or texture. Poaching your meat, for example, or toasting your grains, can make the same food taste novel.
- If you're trying a new food, be sure to include something on the plate that you love so you'll enjoy the overall meal.
- You don't need expensive ingredients or fancy tools to make a healthy and tasty meal. UNJURY recipes are quick, simple, and nutritious.
- Enjoy your favorite foods in the right portions.
- Balance the food you enjoy with the nutrients that give you the results you want.
- Spread your protein intake throughout the day to keep your hunger levels stable and make you less likely to overeat.
- Use a food scale or measuring cups to portion foods, and fill up on high-quality protein and high-fiber vegetables instead.
- Practice mindful eating so you can feel full without going for seconds. Read more here.
- Engage in purposeful movement.
- All activity counts. Take the stairs, park farther away, and walk to nearby destinations.
- Incorporate weight or resistance training. More muscle mass means a higher metabolism, so you'll burn more calories and have room for occasional indulgences.
- Work with a registered dietitian.
- To get sound, personalized nutrition advice, trust an expert.
