The Next Big Thing in 10 Small Steps To Improve Your Health

October 29, 2022 by carmen@nubeingsoule.com Leave a Comment

Many make health-related resolutions, such as losing weight, stopping smoking, or joining the neighborhood health club. While it is common to set high goals, experts say that smaller goals could do more for our health. 

“Small steps are achievable and are easier to fit into your daily routine,” says James O. Hill, Ph.D., Director of the Center for Human Nutrition at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. “They are less overwhelming than a big, sudden change.” 

Here are 10 to try:

1. Keep an eye on your weight and work on making sure you are not gaining extra lbs. The excess weight adds up quickly, even if you gain just a pound yearly. 

2. Take more small steps. Use a pedometer to count your daily steps; then add 2,000, the equivalent of one extra mile. Keep adding 1,000 to 2,000 each month until you take 10,000 steps on most days.

3. Eat breakfast. Breakfast eaters tend to weigh less and have better diets overall. For a filling and nutrition-packed breakfast, top Whole Grain Total® with fresh fruit slices and low-fat or fat-free milk. 

4. Switch three-grain servings each day to whole grain. Like the average American, you eat less than one whole grain serving a day. 

5. Have at least one green salad every day. Eating a salad (with low-fat or fat-free dressing) is filling and may help you eat less during the meal. It also counts toward your five daily cups of vegetables and fruits.

6. Trim the fat. Fat has a lot of calories and calorie count. Purchase lean meats, eat poultry without the skin, switch to lower-fat cheeses, and use a nonstick pan with only a dab of oil or butter.

7. Consider calcium by including two or three daily servings of low-fat or fat-free milk or yogurt. Dairy calcium is good for bones and may also help you lose weight.

8. Downsize. The smaller the bag, bottle, or bowl, the less you eat. 

9. Lose just 5 to 10 percent of your current weight. The health benefits are huge-lower blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, and triglycerides.

10. Keep track of your eating. Write down what you eat over the next few days and look for problem spots. Often, just writing things down can help you eat less.
