Dear friends,
There’s something special about Monday. Our research shows that people who engage in healthy activities on this day are more likely to continue those behaviors through the rest of the week. When it comes to making a positive lifestyle change, a Monday cue might just be what’s missing.
This Monday, we're outlining all the ways you can benefit from committing to a Healthy Monday routine. Learn how reducing your stress levels can improve different aspects of your life, such as sleep quality, blood pressure, and outlook; find the motivation to start (or stay) physically active by furthering your understanding of the value of regular exercise; and remind yourself of the advantages of a plant-based diet with our guide to the benefits of reduced meat consumption. Make Monday your day to remind, reset, and recommit to healthy intensions.

By participating in Meatless Monday, you are already taking the first step in creating a better, more sustainable future. But as we continue to move forward, the focus needs to shift from what foods should we eat less to what foods should we eat more.
In 2019, the World Wildlife Foundation created a list of its top 50 foods for a sustainable future. These foods, which include greens, tubers, nuts, seeds, pulses, mushrooms, and vegetables, are all nutrient-dense and environmentally friendly. The more of these ingredients you can incorporate into your daily diet, the better it is for the planet.
This Monday, look through our list of sustainable foods and consider adding some to your shopping cart during your next supermarket run.

We hope these ideas help you refresh and reinvigorate your Monday and inspire you to stay well the rest of the week. We'll see you again next Monday!
