What about changing some simple habits in the kitchen to improve your health? Here are 3 resolutions that anyone can implement in January.
In lists of great resolutions, resolutions for better nutrition always rank high. But beware of delusions! As always, too many changes or being too ambitious can undermine your great motivation (like a weight loss resolution!). But to eat better, our colleagues at Marmiton have come up with 3 simple resolutions that you can implement starting today. Less salt (really)
The first essential solution for good health is to reduce the salt intake in your daily diet. In fact, excess salt in the diet is associated with increased blood pressure and contributes to cardiovascular risk. To achieve this, you can of course use less salt in the kitchen. But you also need to keep track of your salt. Consume more locally
Eating better while avoiding highly processed products often means consuming more locally. In fact, choosing local produce has several immediate benefits. Countless processed industrial products, but also sausage products, are recommended in the media. Consume more local products
Eating healthily while avoiding highly processed products often also means consuming more local products. In fact, choosing local products can have several immediate benefits:
Pay attention to the seasons and eat accordingly (including important nutrients).
Support small producers and benefit from raw produce (not necessarily expensive fruit and vegetable products).
Protect yourself from pesticides, which are often found in fruits and vegetables, and choose organic products.
Small daily efforts that can really help the health of the whole family.
Detect food waste
Finally, the last resolution that is good for your health and good for your wallet is to tackle the problem of food waste in your daily life. By not buying too much in advance and buying the right amount, we avoid the risk of consuming expired products, storing food in poor conditions and throwing away excess food. We also teach young people to value what is on their plate. A great idea for this year 2025.
