2022 here we come! It’s time to shake off the last two years and make a positive start to improving your health and diet in the New Year.
Looking for an incredibly nourishing vegan-friendly dish that will make your taste buds sing? Then try our Palak (spinach) Paneer recipe with rice, flat bread, or tortillas. It’s chock full of nutrient-rich ingredients and finished with coconut milk for a rich creamy texture that will settle your soul during this brutal winter weather.
Here are some sure-fire way tips to frame your resolutions and help you make next year your healthiest yet:
Move more. We all know this message, but it really is a great way to boost your health and wellbeing. Go for a gentle stroll around the block, play with your kids, walk the dog, or simply carry your shopping bags to the car instead of using the trolley. Incidental activity counts too! You don’t have to run a marathon. Just enjoy the feeling of moving your body and watch your fitness and stamina improve over time.
Focus on eating a healthy diet overall and get off the fad diet merry-go-round. Nutrition professionals like me have been begging people to change their thinking about healthy eating. There is no need to overhaul your diet radically, as this won’t be sustainable. Instead, focus on small changes that have the potential to lead to significant improvements in health and wellbeing in the long term. Make water your preferred fluid; move your body more; or regularly have alcohol-free days. Such small changes can make your resolutions feel more manageable and less restrictive.

Gain the support you need to keep you on track. Ask a friend, relative or workmate to join you and help you along the way. You can set goals together and keep each other accountable. Building a supportive team around you will increase your chances of accomplishing your goals. Reframing your resolutions will likely make them more sustainable and achievable. And remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day; slow and steady wins the race. |
So let’s not set the bar too high next year. The “new year, new me” saying is fatuous at best. But, in any case, the year’s change represents a time for change and a chance to recalibrate. This is especially true after the annus horribilis x2 we’ve all endured.
Here’s to a happy, healthy and freer 2022.
