Your kitchen can play a big role in helping you to add more fruit and veggies to your diet. The way you organize the space and the items you bring into it can make it easier to make smarter food choices every day. Consider these three simple adjustments:
1. Water everywhere. The health benefits of drinking enough water are almost endless. You’ll benefit from more energy, better digestion, improved mood, and a reduction in toxins. Sometimes all it takes is keeping a glass by the sink to remind you to pour yourself a glass of water, or if you prefer, look into water filtration options for your tap water.
2. Grow your own greens. Herbs add fresh flavour to any meal, often reducing the need for salt and butter. But buying large bunches of pre-packaged herbs can be expensive and wasteful if you only need a handful. Instead, dedicate some space in your kitchen to growing your own. Try a single pot of parsley or chives, as both are easy to grow.
3. Put fruit on display. Fruits and vegetables are easily forgotten at the bottom of a crisper drawer. Pull out your prettiest platters or a little-used cake stand and make fruits and vegetables part of your kitchen décor. Not only will you brighten up your space on a grey winter day, but they’ll be the first thing you see when you stroll into the kitchen looking for a snack.
