Meal Planning
Hello Get Moving participants!

This is the fourth email in a series of 10 weekly check-ins dedicated to giving you tips and advice on adapting a healthy lifestyle. The purpose of this weekly newsletter is to share health recommendations to keep you motivated and engaged during your health journey. Be sure to respond to our giveaway question at the end!

We hope you walk away from these newsletters with inspiration to improve your health and overall happiness!
This week's theme is Meal Planning!

Meal planning means dedicating a bit of time to schedule out your meals for the week. Organizing your meals and grocery lists will help you stay on track with your healthy eating goals. If we constantly choose what to eat on an impulse, we are less likely to choose healthy foods. Choosing ahead of time helps you make healthy decisions.

"Five ways meal planning can change your life:
  1. Less stress.
  2. Save money.
  3. Save time.
  4. Healthier weight.
  5. Never having to ask, What's for dinner?” (Kaiser Permanente)

Action Item: Plan your meals for the week
Find a preferred method of meal planning. You can write it on paper or use an app! For example, Cozi Recipe Box & Dinner Planner is a free app available for saving recipes, meal planning, and grocery lists. 
Meal planning made easy with CalFresh : CalFresh supplies monthly food benefits for income-eligible families or individuals. There are many flyers in your resource folder with information about applying for CalFresh. We recommend applying if you are applicable. Extra monetary help for a nutritious diet will benefit your overall health.
