4 Positive Changes to Make in 2022

Before you completely overhaul the way you live, keep in mind making positive changes may just be a few simple steps away. Starting small with attainable goals can help keep you on the right track throughout the year.

Drink More Water

Preventing dehydration, keeping a normal body temperature and lubricating joints are all benefits of drinking enough water daily. Try carrying a reusable bottle as a reminder, choosing water over sugary drinks and opting for water when dining out.

Learn to Cook

If you’re not comfortable in the kitchen, start with simple recipes that don’t force you to sacrifice flavor. After all, an eating plan is easier to stick to when you enjoy the foods you’re making. For example, Baja Fish Taco Bowls take just 20 minutes for a spicy, fresh-flavored family dinner, and Mediterranean Rice Bowls with Zucchini Fritters are a satisfying step toward more meatless meals in your home.

Eat More Whole Grains

Skip refined grains and instead opt for whole grains like brown rice and quinoa, which offer a more complete package of health benefits. You can be confident in options like Boil-in-Bag Brown Rice and Tri-Color Boil-in-Bag Quinoa from Success Rice, which are ready in just 10 minutes to help remove the guesswork in cooking while giving home cooks more time to focus on elevating dishes for loved ones.

Make an Eating Plan

Creating weekly menus can help you avoid the drive-thru by scripting meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Plus, it makes grocery shopping easier (and less frequent) by allowing you to buy all the ingredients you’ll need for the upcoming week at one time. Encourage family members to provide suggestions so the planning process doesn’t become overwhelming.
