Sustain Your Positive Approach to Health all Year Long

by Meals Matter | about the author 31. January 2011 08:39

January was an opportunity to change our attitude toward eating and good health with a positive approach.

So much attention in the field of nutrition focuses on foods to avoid or limit. The 2010 Family Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey revealed that families are more aware of what they should not eat rather than foods that they should eat.

Our positive approach guest blog series included several key ideas and ways to think differently. It is heartening that so many health professionals and experts in the field of nutrition share our vision that letting go of guilt, listening to our bodies and enjoying nutritious food are the keys to long-term good health.

Here is a second look at some of the key elements and ideas from our positive approach blog series.

• Choosing nutrient-rich foods

• Enjoying what you eat

• Making sustainable changes

• Embracing your cooking style

• Letting go of dieting

• Identifying hunger vs. cravings

• Eating mindfully

• Being physically active

• Helping families achieve better health

At Meals Matter we will continue to offer advice and tips on using a positive and realistic approach for meal planning, healthy eating, feeding families and fitness throughout the year. Sign up to receive our blog via email today!
