🌱Spring is a great time to check in with your health and make a fresh start.
If your New Year’s goals didn’t stick, that’s okay. You don’t need a special date to make a change—just a small step in the right direction. And spring is the perfect season to start.
Longer days and warmer weather can make it easier to move more, eat better, and take care of yourself. Here are five simple, realistic ways to get back into healthy habits this season—one small change at a time.
1. 🍓 Eat with the season
Spring produce is packed with flavor and nutrition.
Look for asparagus, artichokes, peas, radishes, leeks, spring onions, spinach, arugula, rhubarb, and strawberries—fresh, flavorful, and packed with nutrition. When food tastes better and costs less, eating better feels easier.
TIP: Each week, try one new in-season vegetable or fruit. Incorporate it into a mixed dish, like a stir fry; toss into a salad; or make it the star of your meal with a fresh recipe that appeals to you.
2. 💧 Drink more water
Warmer days can sneak up on you.
Stay ahead of dehydration by sipping regularly, especially in the morning. Try adding lemon, cucumber, or mint if plain water gets boring.
TIP: Aim for 6–8 cups of water each day. Start with one glass before coffee or tea each morning to build the habit.
3. 🚶 Move in ways that feel good
Out with forced workouts and in with joyful movement!
Think bike rides, jogs, or walks in fresh air, dancing in your living room, or digging in the garden. If it lifts your mood, it counts.
TIP: Choose one enjoyable way to move your body and do it at least 3 times this week—even if it’s just for 10–15 minutes.
4. 🔄 Make smart (and sustainable) food and beverage swaps
Tiny changes can spark big shifts.
Choose whole wheat bread over white, roasted chickpeas instead of chips, or sparkling water instead of soda. These small choices add up.
TIP: Pick one processed food or drink you have most days, and swap it with a healthier alternative for one full week.
5. 🧹 Clean up your kitchen flow
A cluttered fridge or pantry makes healthy eating harder.
It’s easy to overlook nutritious options when they’re out of sight. If your space isn’t working for you, spring is a great time to refresh your setup.
TIP: Pick one area—fridge door, pantry shelf, or your go-to snack drawer—and spend 10 minutes clearing out what you don’t use and making your healthy go-tos more visible.
🌟 Start Small, Start Now
Healthy habits don’t have to be perfect. They just have to start.
