Step by step
Try to make more journeys on foot. If you have a car, leave it at home for short trips and walk instead. Or if you usually take the bus, why not make the same journey on foot? You don't have to be power-walking over vast distances to get the benefit of the exercise.
Raw power
Say no if you can to unhealthy snacks and fast food. Vary your diet and make space in your shopping trolley for interesting seasonal fruit and vegetables. Wash them and eat them raw if possible. How about a mid morning snack of carrot sticks instead of cookies?
A simple swap
Another way to be more healthy is simply to use margarine instead of butter. In fact, using margarine every day is better for you than using no fat at all. Compared with butter, margarine contains much higher levels of vitamin D and E. Soft margarines and liquid cooking margarine are low in saturated fats, and are high in polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids.
Two's company
Every resolution is easier if there are two of you committed to it. After all, if your willpower takes a knock, there's someone else there to give you the support you need. And you can offer support, too.
Spread the word
Becel/Flora margarines contain 'good' fats as well as vitamins A, D and E. this means that an average daily serving (on four slices of bread) is an important contributor to your daily intake of essential nutrients such as essential fatty acids and vitamins.
