BACK TO ROUTINE IN JANUARY AND HEALTHY EATING FOR THE WHOLE YEAR
The beginning of January is the perfect time to rethink how we eat, especially after the Christmas indulgences. However, for the changes to be effective, it is important to create eating habits that we can maintain in the long term. It is not about extreme diets or impossible restrictions, but about building a balanced and sustainable relationship with food.
1. Start with small adjustments
Instead of trying to change everything at once, focus on making small changes that add up to big results:
• Increase your consumption of fresh foods. Fill your plate with more vegetables, fruits, lean proteins and whole grains.
• Control portions. It’s not about depriving yourself, but about listening to your body and eating in moderation.
• Gradually eliminate ultra-processed foods. Replace them with more natural alternatives.
2. Make breakfast a priority
Breakfast is the first opportunity of the day to recharge your energy, and ideally it should be nutritious and balanced. This is where our organic mango granola comes into play. Healthy and made with natural ingredients, without added sugars and with a perfect balance of fiber, protein and healthy fats, it is a delicious and practical option to start the day.
• Combine it with yogurt, vegetable milk or fresh fruit for a complete breakfast.
• You can also use it as a topping in smoothies or bowls.
A good breakfast will help you maintain energy throughout the morning and prevent you from giving in to unnecessary cravings.
3. Plan your meals with intention
Improvisation can be your worst enemy when trying to eat better.
• Plan your weekly menus. This will help you save time and avoid less healthy options.
• Cook at home whenever possible so you have complete control over the ingredients.
• Have healthy snacks on hand: fruit, nuts, hummus with vegetables or a serving of our granola can be quick and nutritious options.
4. Adopt the 80/20 rule
Healthy eating doesn't have to be rigid. Adopt the 80/20 rule:
• 80% of the time, prioritize nutritious and balanced foods.
• 20% of the time, indulge in your favorite foods guilt-free.
This flexibility is key to maintaining your habits over the long term.
5. Hydrate and rest well
Although it's not food, water is essential for your well-being. Stay well hydrated throughout the day, as sometimes fatigue or hunger can be mistaken for thirst. Plus, getting a good night's sleep improves your metabolism and reduces unhealthy cravings.
Conclusion: Make food your best ally
Getting back into your routine doesn't have to mean restrictions or sacrifices. With small adjustments, good planning, and the support of nutritious foods, you can build a healthy diet that you enjoy and can maintain throughout the year.
