Creating long-lasting healthy habits 

Happy New Year! We hope this year is shaping up to be the one in which you take positive steps towards introducing healthy habits into your daily life. 

Have you ever wondered why making healthy changes to your diet and lifestyle can sometimes be difficult? Any changes to your lifestyle, no matter how small, can be challenging – it can be especially hard when you’re trying to change multiple habits at once.

Instead, it’s best to think about making one small change at a time, and allowing yourself enough time for that change to become a habit before making any further changes. It’s this gradual process of making small changes that can mean you are more likely to stick to the changes you have made long-term.  

For example, if your goal is to eat more healthily, you could start by focusing on eating an extra portion of fruit at breakfast or adding an extra portion of vegetables to your evening meal.

It’s about making small changes that will have a lasting impact, and importantly are easy for you to implement in your life. So, why not break your new year’s resolution into smaller more manageable chunks?

All of our health guides, posters and recipe booklets are now available in print for FREE – ideal to support any healthy changes you want to make.
