“Wherever you are in your healthy eating journey, it’s never too early or too late to eat healthier.
If you’re looking to improve – start small with one step that feels easy for you to incorporate into your daily life. That way, you’re more likely to make it a habit and feel accomplished than trying to change too much at one time which can lead to feeling overwhelmed and frustrated. Small habits over time make a difference!
If you’re feeling confident in your eating habits today – aim to try one new fruit or vegetable a week to keep expanding your nutrition horizons. Recommendations to eat more vegetables and fruits (like avocados) are consistent across the lifespan. Better yet, introduce your new tastes to someone you care about to spread the love and help them reach their healthy eating goals. A win-win!”
