I was taking a walk last night when I saw a sign that made me stop and think. It was perched in front of a local deli and offered a free soda or bottle of water with any lunch purchase. What a great idea— free water with lunch. Of course, you could order the soda, but at least you had a choice of a healthier option.
This got me thinking about all of the factors that go into our daily food decisions: Cost, availability, convenience, to name just a few. It's great when grocery stores and restaurants make an effort to make healthy choices easier to make. We can also do this for ourselves! For instance, keeping your pantry and fridge stocked with healthy staples makes it easier to prepare dinner at home rather than going out. Packing snacks to take to work makes it easier to avoid the vending machine. Putting a bottle of water on your desk reminds you to stay hydrated. Keep your eyes out for more healthy options turning up in stores and restaurants all around you…and don't forget to create your own healthy options, too!
