Many people say that eating healthy is hard. But if this is true, why is it the case? What things are truly beyond our control that make healthier eating difficult? Some would offer that eating healthier is more difficult in some areas, either due to a lack of access to healthy options or because of how much it costs. Well, remember, it’s not just what you eat, it’s how you eat as well. Anyone can drink more water. Anyone can limit their calorie intake through portion control. Anyone can be more aware of the amount of added sugars and unhealthy snacks they consume. The point is to eat a little bit better than you do right now. Do you have to pay more? Possibly. But oftentimes it’s not paying more money that will make us healthier consumers, it’s paying more attention.
