Healthy eating: One step at a time
If you're planning to improve your eating habits, good for you! But don't feel pressured to change your diet overnight. Instead, tackle it one step at a time. Add a fruit or vegetable to your lunch. Choose whole-wheat pasta or brown rice for dinner. Taking it slow will help you maintain your healthier habits in the long run.
