Make small changes over time. Once you reach a goal, challenge yourself with another. Small steps help you feel more successful and stay motivated. For example, try adding one more fruit or vegetable to your daily diet. Set a regular time to walk or do something active with a friend.
Small changes can lead to long-term improvements.
A healthful diet won't be boring if you try new things. Today, fruits and vegetables from all over the world are available in your local supermarket. Check out your local farmer's market or produce department for foods that are new to you. A simple goal might be to try a new fruit and vegetable each month. Balance what you eat with physical activity over several days.
