Helpful hints, insights on how to become a healthier version of you

By Christine Schroeder, MOT, OTR/L
So you’ve decided to start eating healthy this year, but have no idea where to start.

Honestly speaking, you may even be a little discouraged at the thought. Fruits and vegetables….ugh!  Rest assured healthy eating does not have to be overwhelming or boring.

The first thing to remember is to start small. “Rome wasn’t built in a day.” Lasting lifestyle changes are most effective when done in small steps. For example, try incorporating or replacing one snack each day with a fruit or vegetable.
