Eating healthy does not have to be a hard, drawn-out process. The tips below can help you find the joy of eating well, while fueling your body and reducing disease risk.

Research suggests that a person’s motivation or commitment to healthy eating may be associated with how nutritional recommendations are perceived (intrinsic motivation; Deci & Ryan, 2010). It also may involve attitudes and preferences.
Savor the Flavors
If you're like many people, the idea of healthy eating brings to mind a diet of bland, tasteless food. Thankfully, it's not hard to find delicious, healthy meals that satisfy both your appetite and your taste buds!
The first step is finding interesting ways to add flavor to your dishes. Start by discovering new spices or herbs and experiment with different cooking methods. For example, instead of deep frying your food, try baking or grilling it. These techniques not only give your foods a fresh, crispy crunch, but they also retain more nutrients and are better for your body than over-fried foods.
Another great way to add flavor is to use fruit juices and vinegars, which can be used in place of salt and sugar. Citrus juice, for instance, is a tasty way to add some sweetness without adding calories. Vinegars are also a good option for adding acidity to dishes, such as salad dressing and grilled vegetables.
Prepare Your Meals
The key to healthy eating is choosing a diet that meets your personal health goals. This means swapping unhealthy foods for ones that will improve your mood, help you feel better, or protect you from diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.
This diet should also include a variety of nutritious foods. This will help protect you from malnutrition, a condition that can affect your mental and physical well-being.
To ensure that you're getting the best food for your body, check labels to avoid hidden sugars and unhealthy fats. This will also help you save money by buying what you need and not what's on sale.
Another way to make a healthy change is to cook at home as much as possible. If you're not used to cooking or shopping for groceries, start by starting with one meal a week. Then, gradually add more meals until you're cooking most of your meals at home. To get started, try using recipes that use fresh produce and lean proteins.
Break Bread
Bread is a staple at meals throughout the world. But it's not just a food; it also carries the stories of its communities, from the traditional geothermal bread of Iceland to new riffs on scallion pancakes led by diasporic chefs in the US. It's an anchor in people's lives, and these stories will help you better understand why that's the case, whether you're on a family table outside of Athens or at a roadside stand in Hanoi.
The phrase "breaking bread" has long been a metaphor for making a connection over a meal and fostering common ground that people can share. Luckily, food is something everyone can enjoy and it's an easy way to start conversations with strangers.
