Over the past couple of months, we’ve stepped through my principles for healthier living as they relate to better nutrition, and at the end of the day, it really comes down to making better nutrition choices. As with just about everything in life, it starts with the right mindset, not just through the vision of your future self, but with a realistic understanding of where you are right now, and an acknowledgment that the past doesn’t define your future. Then we consider the reality that our environment gets a vote. But even then, we seek to control those things that we can control, and shape our environment to work in our favor. As you go through the process, keep in mind the type of person you want to become, not just the things you need to do to get there. Finally, continuously ask yourself if you’re doing the things that will make consistent healthier habits easier. If you want better nutrition, that’s how to get there.
