Here’s To Eating Well & Feeling Even Better in 2023

The New Year is a time for resolutions and looking ahead. And what better way to start the year off right than by making sure you are eating well and feeling even better? Or better yet, making lifestyle choices that set you on a path to never make resolutions again!

Good nutrition is an essential part of living a healthy lifestyle. It can help you maintain a healthy weight, have more energy, and avoid diseases. But with so many different diets and food choices out there, it can be hard to know where to start.

Eating Well in 2023

Making smart food choices is essential for good health. This includes eating plenty of fruits and vegetables, limiting processed foods, and making sure you get the right balance of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. Eating a balanced diet can help you maintain a healthy weight, increase your energy levels, and reduce your risk of diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. You should also consider the different types of nutrients you need. This includes vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants as well as fiber and healthy fats. All of these help to fuel your body, so make sure you include a variety of these in your diet. Eating nutrient-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and seeds can help ensure that you are reaping the most nutritional benefits from the foods you eat.

Feeling Even Better in 2023

Good nutrition is only part of the equation. To truly feel your best, it is important to make sure that you are getting enough rest, managing stress levels, and exercising regularly. Getting enough rest is essential for rejuvenating your body and reducing stress levels. And while it may be tempting to stay up late and get up early, it is important to get at least 7 to 8 hours of sleep each night. It is also a good idea to practice healthy sleep habits such as avoiding caffeine late in the day and winding down with a relaxing activity before bed. Managing stress levels is another important factor in feeling your best. This can include activities like yoga, meditation, and deep breathing. Practicing mindfulness can also help to reduce stress levels and improve your overall mental health. Exercising regularly can also help to reduce stress levels and improve your overall wellbeing. Regular exercise can help to maintain a healthy weight, reduce blood pressure, and even improve mood. You can start small with something like a 30-minute walk, and then gradually increase your intensity as you become more active.

Taking the time to focus on your diet and overall health is the key to feeling your best in the new year. Eating well, getting enough rest, managing stress levels, and exercising regularly are all essential components of a healthy lifestyle. By making smart choices and being conscious of your lifestyle, you can look forward to feeling even better in 2023!

About the Author: Chantel Beauregard

I am a Functional Nutrition and Lifestyle Practitioner, Nutritionist, Clinical Herbalist, Certified Nutrition Coach and a self proclaimed Culinary Archeologist. I studied Nutrition Science at Stanford University. Growing up, my friends always said our kitchen smelled like syrup. I of course interpreted this as a good thing, and it was. I enjoyed the smell of my Mom’s kitchen. To me it was a mixture of onions, garlic (two of my favorites) fenugreek, the sweetness of saffron and rosewater. Exotic spices from Iran were always in the house. Strange looking vegetables or fruits like artichokes and pomegranates. I grew up with “Persian influence” my mother would say. My Grandmothers kitchen was different. It either smelled of her famous chocolate cherry cake, KFC, or canning tomatoes. All of which smelled good to me. If we were visiting on a day it smelled of chocolate cake you could guarantee a peek at Grandpa through the kitchen window sneaking a second serving of chocolate cherry cake as we pulled out of the driveway to head home. One of my fondest memories. Most of the memories I have growing up include food. Very good food. And I think food should do just that. Take you somewhere, remind you of something wonderful, transport you to another time when all you had to do was pick up the fork and enjoy it! Don’t get me wrong choosing the ingredients and preparing what is on that fork is fun too! (Ever go foraging for watercress in a mountain creek?) But for those who are eating it, no other thoughts should be in their mind, other than the places that fork is about to take them. Here at Culinary Archeology I emphasize healthful eating personalized to YOUR genetics, design, lifestyle, environment, and health concerns. I help you build the confidence and skills to eat, cook and bake nutritiously intuitive, with purpose and creativity. My meal plans offer effective strategies and tools to improve health, including weekly food and shopping schedules, healthful recipes, and recommendations about cooking and food storage methods, as well as steps to achieve mindful eating, making food choices easier and fun, every day. I became a Certified 3x4 Practitioner because I know that there is no single right diet that applies to all of us. We have different genetic backgrounds, different preferences, and different lives. And until you get your nutrition right, nothing is going to change. By changing your diet , you can change your entire physiology. I am here to teach strategies and give tools to find out what is right for each person, individually.
