The beginning of a brand new year has put the focus back on healthy eating habits, superfoods and diet hacks to do right by your body. Let’s do a quick rundown of small dietary adjustments you can make for a fuller life!

Whole foods–For starters, include whole foods, such as nuts, grains, seeds, vegetables and fruits in moderate quantities across your meals. This can aid weight loss, lower risk of diabetes and heart disease.

Healthy snacks–Unhealthy snacking can increase your chances of chronic illnesses like diabetes, heart diseases and fatigue, not to mention unwanted weight gain. Avoid overeating by keeping healthy snacks around— they can be carrots or celery sticks with hummus dips, apples or berries, smoothies, or a chia seed pudding.

Limit Sugar– High sugar intake has been linked to diabetes, fatty liver disease, high blood pressure, inflammation, and weight gain, among a host of other health risks. Try substituting with natural unrefined sweeteners like brown sugar or jaggery that has less sucrose.

More water: This one is no-brainer! Drink at least 7-8 glasses of water daily. Not only will it flush out toxins but also speed up metabolism, aid weight loss, among other things.
