Fun ways to practice healthy nutrition habits

Where for forty days He was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them He was hungry. – Luke 4:2

Being hungry is natural and nothing to be ashamed about. Food gives us strength to fight against temptation of other sorts. However, what food we put in our bodies is something we should be mindful about. It isn’t always practical to limit ourselves to just eating at designated mealtimes. So, snacks are sometimes necessary.

This month, focus on healthy snacking. When preparing a snack or when the craving hits, flip a coin for heads or tails and choose a snack from that column.

I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. – Romans 12:1

Now, it is up to us how we go about presenting our bodies as a living sacrifice. Eating well-balanced meals is a good start! One way to do that is to eat from the multiple food groups, which are all colors. This month, include four different colors in your meal twice a week. Use the “Produce Promise” flyer to help track your colors.
