Celebrating Nutrition Month: Easy Tips for Healthier Eating

As we celebrate Nutrition Month, it’s a great time to think about how we eat and what we put into our bodies. To help us out, Sobeys has teamed up with Tennis Canada to share some top tips from experts like nutritionist Ariane Lavigne. These tips can help us all eat better and feel better, whether we’re kids, adults, athletes, or just busy folks trying to stay healthy.

Eating right is super important for our health. It helps us grow strong and stay energized, so we can do all the things we love. According to Lavigne, eating well is all about finding balance. That means figuring out what works best for you and your family. For example, if you’re always on the move, your meals might look different from someone who likes to take it easy.

Planning ahead is key. If you want to eat healthy, you gotta have good food on hand. That means making smart choices at the grocery store and having healthy options ready to go at home. If cooking isn’t your thing, no worries! Sobeys has lots of tasty, healthy options ready to eat or heat up in a pinch.

But no matter how busy you are, Lavigne says it’s important to stick to the ‘rule of three’. That means aiming for three balanced meals a day, each with a protein, fruits and veggies, and some starch. It’s an easy way to make sure you’re getting all the good stuff your body needs.

And remember, our nutritional needs change as we grow older. So, it’s important to pay attention to what our bodies need at each stage of life. With a little effort and planning, eating healthy can become second nature, even on our busiest days.

So, let’s celebrate Nutrition Month by making small changes to our eating habits. Whether it’s choosing a healthier snack or trying out a new recipe, every little bit counts. And in the end, our bodies will thank us for it!
