| A habit is a practice that is performed regularly and would be hard to give up. Habits typically require less mental capacity than non-habits. This is one factor that makes them so challenging to change. However, there are a few tips that can help initiate new behaviors. First, ensure your motivations are tied to your values. If motivations for change are unclear or tied to a superficial desire, the likelihood of achieving your outcome becomes significantly less. Next, focus on what individual behaviors may result in helping you achieve your goal. Oftentimes, thinking about an overarching goal seems incredibly overwhelming. Thus, narrowing your attention to smaller tasks help provide quick and positive results that encourage repetitive behaviors. Finally, consider what barriers may be preventing you from completing or acting on your new tasks. Removing these obstacles may be the final straw that tips your unachievable desire into a new habit. |

Varying types of snack boards have become increasingly popular. While cheese and charcuterie platters have long been staples for cocktail parties, it’s the use of the board-style presentation that is garnering popularity. One appeal of boards includes flexibility regarding number of guests and taste preference. In addition, there is typically minimum prep required. Cheese and meat boards, for example, have typically been a buy and arrange type of preparation. From movie night to brunch, here’s how to assemble the ideal snack board.
The first step is to choose a theme. Some interesting ideas include "sweet and salty," "family movie night," and "rainbow" themes. Of course, any holiday or celebration would be a great theme to build around. Next, choose a platter as your base and accompanying dishes for any loose items. The larger the board, the more product you will use. Typically, estimate two to three of the proteins and fats per person (e.g. meat and cheese slices) and then double the carbohydrates (e.g., crackers). Fill in the rest of the board with your accompaniments (e.g., nuts, dried fruit, spreads). Some general tips include having items in snack bite sizes and avoiding highly messy items. |

| Sugar can be referred to as the simplest group of carbohydrates. Sweet and colorless, varying sugars, of the chemical formula CnH2On, can be found in plant and animal food products. For simplicity, there are two categories of sugars in American diets: naturally occurring sugars and added sugars. Naturally occurring sugars exist innately in foods such as fruits. Added sugars, on the other hand, are those that are added to foods during processing. Added sugars encompass both natural sugars (e.g., brown sugar and honey) and chemically manufactured sugars (e.g., high fructose corn syrup). Sugar can be used positively in diets as baking agents or for flavor. In addition, the body uses sugar, in the form of glucose, as a direct energy source. When sugars are consumed in tandem with fiber (i.e., such as when you eat an apple), it is noted that up to 30% of that sugar will be metabolized by the gut, which slows the rise in blood sugar and promotes bacterial diversity. |
