Eating Healthy During This Shelter in Place

Sometimes lists aren’t in perfect tens but Julia Belluz from Vox summed up how to “eat healthily.” I found this article particularly helpful during this shelter in place but I’ll let you be the judge.

  1. Keep your pantry stocked

  2. Consider the nutritional bang for your buck

  3. Meat should be a rare treat — and when you buy it, look for tough cuts

  4. Buy in bulk

  5. Cook in bulk

  6. Don't shy away from frozen fruits and vegetables

  7. Never buy salad dressing

  8. Make coffee or tea at home

  9. Season your food so that it actually tastes good

  10. Replace soda and juice with water

  11. Don't be scared of expiration dates or food that looks less than perfect

For those that prefer video, check out down below. I’ll say that I agree with the meat being a rare treat but if it is, I’m not in favor of the tough cuts and rather treat myself to some Prime Grade. And to dive even further into it, I’m not necessarily into cooking in bulk either since I tend to get tired of similar flavors over and over again but the rest, I’m all in! Oh, and don’t forget to add in a workout here and there. At least 3-4 times a week should help out those endorphins!
