Blog #19: Answer 2

• · EQ: What is the best way to achieve a nutritionally healthy lifestyle?

  · Answer 2: The best way to start a nutritionally healthy lifestyle is by getting rid of anything that is unhealthy.

  · Evidence:

  o People are more likely to be tempted to eat whatever is available in their refrigerator/pantry because it is easy to get. If a person clears their households of unhealthy foods then they are only able to get unhealthy foods.

  o Prepare small meals and snacks to keep in case you get hungry. This is because most people want whatever can be made quick, so instead of resorting to something like Top Ramen, they can eat something healthy that was already prepared.

  o People are more likely to eat food at home instead of eating out if there is more available food at home.
