A big thing that throws people off is never knowing where to start. Like I talked about in my previous blog post, after quitting dance I knew I needed to find a new way to stay active, but I also needed to find ways to eat healthier, and better my mental health. It was hard to start, but once I started finding workouts I liked, healthier foods I liked, and ways to make me happier, it became easy for me. When people live fast-paced lives and are always on the go, it can be hard to eat healthy because most of the time when looking for something fast, that typically ends up being unhealthy snacks or fast food. It\u2019s important that if you are looking to eat healthier that you are mindful about what kind of snacks you are eating\/grabbing throughout the day. A lot of times it may be easier to grab something like chips and leave, but I have a few healthier snack options to make or get. I personally like eating mixed nuts because not only are nuts full of healthy fats, protein, and fiber, but they also can be very filling. Another easier snack option is cutting up an apple and pairing that with some peanut butter. Just like nuts, peanut butter is filled with healthier fats and fiber, and apples are also filled with fiber. I love eating apples and peanut butter as a snack and usually fills me up. For those that love chips and something crunchy, a great alternative could be kale chips. Kale is loaded with fiber and antioxidants and it\u2019s super easy to make in the oven by pairing it with some olive oil and salt. Making healthier snacks can sound harder and like a lot more work, but it can be super easy and fun trying to find new different snacks to make. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
