Starting with our diet and continuing with our personal well-being, in the Tiritas® blog we share a series of ideas to start next year with better health and setting goals that we can fulfill. What are yours?

PURPOSES SMART TO EAT HEALTHIER NEXT YEAR

Purposes such as "eat healthier" or "do more sports" are repeated (and broken) every year. So that the same thing does not happen again, Alimentarte proposes to adapt aspects of our life to a concept linked to the business environment: SMART objectives.

In this case, 'SMART' is an out acronym for the English: Specific, measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-bound, ie, the purposes we have put us should be Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and limited in time.

The purpose of “eating healthier” is much more difficult to fulfill than that of “increasing my fruit consumption by one more piece a day at the end of the year”, do you see the difference?

To begin to raise your purpose, the dietitian-nutritionist Raquel Bernácer presents in this article 10 SMART resolutions to eat healthier in the new year :

1. Eat one more piece of fruit a day.
2. Eat a healthy breakfast on weekends.
3. Reduce meat consumption by practicing Meatless Monday.
4. Increase the consumption of legumes to once (more) per week.
5. Take raw vegetables every day.
6. Stop buying salty and sweet snacks.
7. Learn to cook a new recipe every week.
8. Change the aperitif straw for a light soda, water, sparkling water, or an infusion.
9. Cook dinner (or lunch) three times a week.
10. Plan meals for the week.

IDEAS TO START THE YEAR WITH GREATER PERSONAL WELL-BEING

We have found the blog Your Good Moments, about self-esteem, motivation, and productivity. In it, Casandra (its author) shares ideas to start the year with joy.

The six ideas he raises are summed up in learning from the previous year's experiences, good or bad, and using the learning to advance; Surround yourself with people who contribute to you and who you want to look like; set goals and celebrate when you meet them; leave time to do something you like even if work and responsibilities drown you; accept problems and seek solutions and, in general, appreciate the good that happens to you in the new year and celebrate the small daily joys.
