Of course you know that eating healthy is a lifelong goal—but that doesn't mean that it takes ages to make it happen. In fact, there are tons of quick, easy ways to be sure you're eating well that basically involve zero effort. Here are a few to get you started:
Add Broccoli Sprouts to Salads and Sandwiches
Here's an easy way to be sure your lunch is extra healthy: Add broccoli sprouts. A recent study from Cancer Prevention Research found that they're the one veggie that may actually remove pollutants from your body. That's because the sprouts contain a compound called glucoraphanin, which has been linked to anti-cancer properties in animal studies. The best part? They don't have a strong flavor, so you'll barely even notice they’re there.
Use Red Plates
Yep, you read that correctly: Your health could be determined by the color of your dinnerware. Gotta love science! Seriously, though: A study from Appetite found that people who eat off of red plates tend to eat less than those who eat off of red and blue. The researchers say that could be because our brains associate the color red with stopping—meaning just seeing the bold hue could send a signal to your brain not to overeat.
