7 hacks for boosting nutrition without completely changing your diet

Being the best version of yourself is hard, especially when you’re busy. When meal-prepping for six hours per week isn’t workable, take advantage of these quick hacks. They’re rewarding, gentle on your body, and easy to fit into your lifestyle — without having to scrap the diet you already have.

Keep a big water bottle at your desk

Start small by keeping a big water bottle at your desk. Fill it up and keep it next to you, making sure you take a sip whenever you’re thirsty. If you have to remind yourself to stay hydrated, having the bottle there is a great way to keep it top of mind.

Switch out your candy bowl

It might feel good to stress-eat on candy, but it takes its toll on your tummy. Next time, swap the sweets for a bowl of yogurt, fruit, or nuts. They’re perfect to pack as snacks or quick breakfasts for anyone on the go.

Swap juice for whole fruits and vegetables

Drinking juice can be a good way to incorporate a lot of fruits and vegetables into your diet, but the juicing process actually strips out that all-important fibre. The next time you’re reaching for an orange juice, why not pick up the whole fruit instead? Your gut will thank you.

Make fibre easy

If you’re not getting enough fibre from fruits, veggies, and whole grains, RestoraFIBRE Daily Gummies offer an easy and convenient way to supplement your fibre intake and help maintain a healthy digestive system. The gummies come in six fruity flavours, so you don’t have to start your mornings with a bitter pill. Plus, two gummies, taken twice a day, gives you eight grams of fibre.

Toronto dietitian, Abby Langer, recommends RestoraFIBRE Daily Gummies as a way to top up your fibre intake. “Not only do RestoraFIBRE Daily Gummies help stimulate the growth of healthy bacteria in the gut, they also help provide gentle relief of constipation and irregularity,” she says.

Do movie nights with popcorn

Spending more time at home inevitably results in frequent movie nights and snacks galore. To steer away from endless bags of chips and high-sugar chocolate, simply make popcorn a regular feature in your household. A 100-gram serving of air-popped popcorn contains vitamins B1, B3, B6, iron, zinc, and 15 grams of fibre, among other nutrients.

Dress up your go-to meals

It’s easy to increase the nutritional value of your favourite meals by dressing them up a little, making them even more aesthetically pleasing. By sprinkling some chia, flax, sesame, or hemp seeds atop a salad or a serving of roasted vegetables, you’ll be doing your body a favour — with the slightest change in texture to the dishes you already love.

Make use of your freezer

If you do get a minute to meal prep, store everything in the freezer. It keeps fresh, healthy food edible for longer. Frozen fruit and vegetables are often just as nutritious as fresh, so make sure to keep some in the kitchen. The same goes for grains — pre-cook rice and lentils before freezing them, then look forward to expedited future meals.

Even simple habits or routine changes can help you maintain good health. It can be as easy as adding RestoraFIBRE Daily Gummies to your regimen or making healthy swaps. Keep in mind that the best habits are the ones you will stick to in the long run.
