Tip 1: Read food labels and get to know what your putting into your body – the shorter the ingredients (in general!) the better! Aim to buy fewer products where sugar is either the first or second ingredient. Check out my Healthy Food Shopping List for inspiration!

Tip 2: Plan and prepare – plan your meals and snacks for the week ahead and cook in bulk to save time on busier nights. Check out my Supermarket Shopping Tips for more information!

Tip 3: Slow down your eating – allow your brain the time it needs to register that you’re eating (20 minutes) .. do you really need that dessert?! .. if so keep it a healthy dessert 😉

Tip 4: Drink more water – all fluid counts towards hydration but you can’t beat water for between meals as it’s kind to teeth too!

Tip 5: Get enough sleep – adults should aim for at least 7-8 hours of sleep a night (watch the video to find out why it’s so important!). For information on how much sleep children need check out NHS Choices.
