Rethink your drink
Let’s rethink your drink! To some, drinking enough water can be a difficult practice to maintain. Compared to all the other beverages that exist, water can seem like a bland, dull drink. As a result, other beverages seem more appealing. But healthy habits are all about practice! Take it day by day and celebrate the progress you make each week. Invest in a water bottle that you can carry around with you at work and on the go. Another tip that might help, and not to sound too shallow—pun intended—is to get a water bottle that is appealing to you, whether it’s a color or pattern that draws your attention to it. Food industries do the exact same thing with product packaging so it catches your attention and makes the food product seem more appealing. In turn, we can do the same thing for ourselves to help our habits! This mentality works with infused waters as well. When we add fruits, the variety of colors is a pleasing aesthetic to our eyes and it makes water seem like a more attractive beverage, not to mention it also adds flavors to the water. If you are missing soda, unsweetened seltzer waters and sparkling waters provide the same tingling sensation on your tongue like the carbonation in sodas, which is typically the main component of what people like about sodas.

Feed your mind and learn about… Meal Prep
It may seem like eating healthy meals would be easy as many people are now working from home. But you may find yourself even more likely to grab something quick and convenient, all be it, from your own fridge rather than a fast food drive-thru. Even though you may be working from home with a fridge of good healthy options available to you, it’s still important to plan your lunches and meal prep. Planning and prepping takes away the need to grab something quick (and often unhealthy) between Zoom meetings and phone calls by eliminating the “what am I going to have for lunch” conundrum. Take time on the weekend to plan and prep your lunches for the week and always be ready when hunger strikes with something balanced and nutritious. That way, you won’t have to take time to gather ingredients and make something when your schedule is tight, and you get to enjoy the delicious benefits of a balanced lunch. Not to mention the extra energy and productivity for the afternoon. This is a great practice for kids at home on Remote Learning as well. Meal prepping will allow you to have lunch at the ready when their break comes up, saving time and effort for everyone. Be sure to check out this month’s recipe for an easy, nutritious and delicious meal that can be prepped to provide a week’s worth of lunches. Or combine it with another recipe to mix up your option. Enjoy!
