I love writing articles, but from where do I get the energy to write my articles? It is from the food that I take, am I right? What are my resolutions in terms of eating healthy?

1. I am going to check on the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) that is applicable to me and stick to it.

3. I will not swallow my food rather chew it slowly.

4. I will make sincere efforts to avoid outside foods and eat only homemade food items.

5. I am going to sit and plan the menu by discussing with my husband and my daughter.

6. I am going to eat my food happily leaving all the worries, if any, that I have behind me.

7. I will ensure all my family members have meals at the same time at least in the nights as each one starts at a different time in the morning and will have their lunch at their school or office.

8. I will give importance to family bonding and make eating a fun and an enjoyable experience.

9. I will avoid visiting the supermarket so many times to avoid impulse shopping of food items.

Okay…I have made my resolutions for this New Year; how am I going to execute them?

1. How am I going to know about RDA? I am going to check out various health websites and also consult a good dietician.

2. I am going to set the time intervals depending on my work pattern. I am planning to have at least six small meals with a combination of proteins, fibers, carbohydrates and fats at a regular interval of 2 hours.

3. I am not going to hurry up my meal. When I can spend so much time on my system writing articles, talking with my friends over the cell phone, and watching television, why can’t I spend quality time eating?

4. Whenever we go out, we normally eat outside. I am going to make a sincere effort to ensure that I either prepare the food items at home before we go out or ensure the place where I eat out is clean.

5. I am going to leave the habit of eating while watching television. I tell my daughter not to do this, but I do this at times. I am going to completely avoid this behavior of mine.

6. My family is everything to me. Well, with that said, I am not going to prepare the food items of my choice only henceforth. I am going to prepare the healthy and nutritional menu by discussing with my family. My daughter loves eating raw vegetables. I am going to find out various ways of giving vegetable salads to her.

7. When the menu is prepared for the week, I can buy the vegetables and fruits that I require for that particular week without any hassle and I am sure this will reduce my visit to the supermarket.
