- Shop smart:<\/strong>\u00a0Shop with a list (after all you need to be in and out as quickly as possible!) and whatever you do avoid the sweet aisle at all costs! If it\u2019s not in the cupboard\/fridge, you can\u2019t eat it. Plus, the lock-down makes \u2018running to the garage for a quick snack\u2019 a lot more difficult.<\/li>\n
- Become a mini Masterchef:\u00a0<\/strong>Healthy eating is not just about eating well, it is about enjoying your food. If you plan on sticking to a healthy eating plan, you need to make sure the food you cook is delicious. Plus, cooking up a storm can keep you and the family occupied for hours! With access to the internet, this is so incredibly easy and you can finally ditch your grandmother\u2019s butter- and sugar-laden recipe book! A delicious smoothie for breakfast or a hearty soup for a cool autumn night are bound to keep you on the straight and narrow! (See the Immune-boosting Breakfast Smoothie<\/strong> and Immune-strengthening Autumn Night Soup<\/strong> recipes below the article.)<\/li>\n
- Limit couch time:<\/strong>\u00a0It can be so tempting to binge-watch your favourite series on Netflix, but more than ever you need to get your body up and moving. Try and get at least 30-60 minutes of exercise in a day, and get the kids involved! YouTube is full of old-school aerobic videos. Alternatively, you can chase one another around the garden, play a game of mini-cricket or soccer or (if you up to it) do some heavy-duty housework.<\/li>\n
- Set a well-thought out routine:<\/strong>\u00a0Think of yourself as a computer and someone has hit \u2018Re-boot\u2019 and returned you to factory settings. This is an opportunity to (re)format your hard drive. In order to do that you need to set up a new routine not only for the next 21 days, but for the days that follow. For example, if you work in an office in front of a computer all day, you will not be able to exercise at 10am, so don\u2019t do it now. If you leave for work at 5am and eat your breakfast before you leave home \u2013 make sure that you do the same while at home (just make sure you are eating the healthier version, of course!)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
\u201cWhatever you do, make sure that the healthy habits you start, you can maintain well after life returns to normal so that you truly do reach your goals of being healthier and happier in 2020,\u201d Catherine concludes.<\/p>\n
