Cooking Light’s 12 Healthy Habits Program
Posted by admin on 11/30/2011

Forget the grandiose, impossible New Year’s resolutions: The path to a healthier lifestyle begins one little habit at a time. Welcome to our 12 Healthy Habits program: Each month this year we’ll focus on one healthy practice that you’re probably already doing but want to do a bit more (usually food-related, but we’ve thrown in a couple that focus on exercise). We’ll profile people and explore their challenges and goals, then recommend food or fitness strategies, and provide recipes and nutrition tips. Want to join us? Sign up for our 12 Healthy Habits newsletter and join the conversation on our message boards and on Facebook. You can be part of the conversation, online and in the magazine.
The plan challenges you to add a new habit each month, and by year-end, the accumulated effect will be a much healthier you. Here’s what to expect, month by month:
January: Eat More Fruits and Vegetables—Add 3 more servings of fruits and vegetables to your diet each day. Download January’s Healthy Habits Tracker PDF.
Feb: Get Moving—Increase the amount of aerobic exercise you do. Download February’s Healthy Habits Tracker PDF.
March: Get Cooking—Cook at least 3 meals more per week than you are now, even if that means cooking breakfast or lunch (for freezing, maybe). Download March’s Healthy Habits Tracker PDF.
April: Go For More Grains—Add 3 servings of whole grains per day. Download April’s Healthy Habits Tracker PDF.
