Healthy Outlook Blog

In short, Eat Healthy asks you to eat better throughout April, and they provide tips like:

- Try Meatless Mondays
- Plan a meal using all local foods
- Ditch any unsafe plastics or cans with BPA in their lining (make eating healthy for both you and the environment)

The effort encourages you to share your healthy practices on Twitter, using the #eathealthy hashtag. They’ll track tweets and share the best ones on Facebook, which further spreads the knowledge. Eat Healthy is also hosting a series of Twitter parties throughout April, covering issues like food labels and organic farming.

For further inspiration, here’s a list of articles, videos, guides and more that will help you take part in the April challenge. Learn which fruits and vegetables are the best to buy organic. Eat healthy on the go. Find out where food dyes (both synthetic and natural) come from—and how they affect us. For instance, did you know that adding yellow food coloring to vanilla pudding will make it tastes like lemon or banana for some people?

The more you learn, the more you’ll be able to challenge yourself and make informed decisions about your food. Let us know how you’re doing and what’s working, and hopefully, the healthy practices you pick up will continue into May, and beyond. We’ll be pitching in by covering lots of nutrition-related topics throughout the month, so check back.
