Healthy eating is relevant to all of us and not only does it effect our physical health, but our mental health too.

The power to make healthy choices that is giphy

What do you think healthy eating is? Do you think eating the odd snack snack (chips, ice cream) is still considered healthy eating?

I think everything in moderation, especially when it comes to junk food. I do think though people can go to extremes such as overeating and even getting stressed out because they ate a bar of chocolate and had an Indian kebab for lunch for example when they normally eat really healthy.

2. What are the biggest barriers or challenges of eating healthy for you?

Probably isn't as bad anymore but I am a lot more active now, and I've been trying to eat a lot healthier, although I feel like I've been slacking off lately.....

Is healthy eating boring?

Definitely not! When I bake sweet things I often use as little sugar as possible because then it's not as bad as eating junk food but it's still sweet, also eating frozen fruit for example is a really nice alternative to for example ice cream. Also in general cooking things is fun!

What are your favourite go-to healthy meals?

I once made banana bread with no sugar, and it was delicious! I guess anything really, like the other day I made lentil shepherd's pie which was really nice

@missep that's a good point about eating out of boredom! I tend to test whether I'm really hungry by thinking about eating some carrots or broccoli - if I'm truly in need of food then they'll sound really appealing, but if not then it's probably just a psychological craving 😛

so true @lokifish! Or sometimes when I think I'm hungry it's actually because I'm thirsty!
