And when it comes to making nutritious choices that\nbring us closer to our health goals, the environment around us is crucial.\nThink about it: If you were sitting in a team meeting with donuts on the table,\nyou\u2019d likely reach for a donut. But if that same meeting offered fresh fruit or\nvegetables, you\u2019d inevitably make a healthier choice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We asked our Thrive community how they\u2019ve designed their own environments\nto make nutritious food choices easier. Which of these will you try to\nencourage healthier decisions?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1. Stash unhealthy options on the top shelf<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe do our food shopping on a Saturday afternoon, so this is the only time\nduring the week that less healthy snacks are allowed into our home. Any\nunhealthy snacks that aren\u2019t eaten on a Saturday are stored in an opaque box on\nthe top shelf of a cupboard. If it\u2019s out of sight, it\u2019s also usually out of\nmind. If I have to go out of my way to retrieve it, I\u2019ll usually just give it a\npass.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2014Musa Francis, health and lifestyle coach, Oxfordshire, UK<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2.

There are always unhealthy\nfood choices within reach, but I never leave home without healthy options. I\npack foods like low-fat cheese, whole wheat pitas, almonds, crackers, and\nsliced fruit.

Each week at the grocery store, I spread out my produce in my cart\nin rainbow order. I make sure I have several choices of each color. Often, I\nselect something I\u2019ve never tried before just because it\u2019s a certain color. I\nhave found many new fruits and vegetables to add to my repertoire this way. I\ntake them home and spread them across my refrigerator also in rainbow order so\nI can easily pack colorful lunches to take to work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2014Barclay G., health care lobbyist, Miami, FL<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">6.

I keep it on the kitchen counter in plain view so I always have a\nnutritious meal ready to grab and eat between client sessions. I also make sure\nto stock up on satiating, nutrient-dense foods such as carrot sticks and\nhummus, boiled eggs, bone broth, and cans of sardines. These are stored at eye\nlevel.

There\u2019s something so satisfying to me when I open\nthe door and am greeted with neatly laid out food choices. My love for an\norganized fridge eventually taught me how to make sure I was eating all the\nnutrients I need. After my meal prep is complete, I designate each shelf of my\nfridge to be a \u2018nutrient shelf.\u2019 The top shelf is reserved for all my healthy\ncarbs, like brown rice, fruit, and roasted potatoes. The middle shelf holds all\nthings green, like zucchini, spinach, and broccoli. And the bottom shelf is for\nprotein \u2014 eggs, batch-cooked chicken, and beef.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2014Chelsea Brinegar, nutritionist, Portland, OR <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">8. Set the table the night\nbefore<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI always recommend to my clients to set the table the night before. It is\njust a nice feeling when you get inside the kitchen and the table is already\nset, and it invites you to sit down and take your time, instead of just gulping\nsomething down while getting ready. It takes you a few minutes the night\nbefore, but those few minutes are precious and can make all the difference.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2014Isabel Galiano, cancer and health coach, Singapore<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">9. Embrace one-pan meals<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs a vegetarian who has certain food intolerances, I do all I can to\nsupport myself by making it easy to adhere to a healthy eating system. It comes\ndown to three things: fasting for 14-16 hours each day, advance planning, and\ncooking one-pan meals. When it comes to cooking, I throw fresh veggies and some\nprotein \u2014 quinoa, tempeh, or eggs \u2014 in a non-stick frying pan. I add some\npremade spices or flavors like pesto or marinara sauce, or even soup. I go for\nnatural and organic ingredients whenever possible and, if I\u2019ve got enough\ningredients, I\u2019ll make a double dose of the meal and freeze it for a later\ntime. It\u2019s taken a while to figure out what works for me, and now I\u2019m so happy\nI\u2019ve unlocked this system to keep me on track and feeling great.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2014Liza Horan, editor, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">10.
