From Junk to Joy: A Journey Towards a Better Lifestyle

Let’s be honest - life can be hectic. Mid-night ketchup and fries, workouts that never happened, and mindless scrolling through the Instagram feed – everyone goes through times like this. But here’s the silver lining: you do not have to completely revamp your way of life to start feeling better. The phrase “a better life is just around the corner” might not be as far-fetched after all.

At Better Food Factory, we’re not only about food – but about creating a new culture that is centered around improving the quality of life. This blog is the first step in that journey. It is easier than you think - A simple read with the end goal to have a strong desire to make a few positive changes in your life.

Now, how does one start? Let us try to simplify this by looking at three key areas: eating better, moving better, and relaxing your mind.

• - Snack Smarter: Replace unhealthy snacks with nuts, seeds and other wholesome foods. (or a healthier energy bar)
• - Add Colors to Your Plate: The more the colors that you have on your plate, the more different essentials your meal has. So consider adding a rainbow of fruits and veggies to your meals.
• - Stay Hydrated: Feeling sluggish? Sometimes, it’s just dehydration in disguise. Keep water handy and cut back on sugary drinks.

Step 2: Moving Better
First and foremost, never assume that exercising means spending countless hours at the gym; rather find means and ways that help you exercise while simultaneously fulfilling your daily life.

Small Ways to Get Moving:

• - Take Baby Steps: Conclude a short stroll right after your lunch or stretch out a bit in the morning.
• - Make It Fun: Dancing, cycling, or playing with your kids can be great ways to move without it feeling like “exercise.”
• - Show up: It’s not about doing a lot all at once—it’s about showing up every day, even if it’s just for a few minutes.

Step 3: Relaxing Your Mind
Busy schedules make mental health seem irrelevant, but in reality, your mental needs the same amount of care as your physical.

Easy Ways to Relax Your Mind:

• - Try Mindfulness: Even five minutes of deep breathing or meditation can help you feel more grounded.
• - Unplug Regularly: Set boundary for yourself by staying away from screens (yes, even your phone!) to create moments of calm in your day.
  
• - Prioritize Sleep: Sleep is an important part of the day, devise a night schedule that will help you doze off and revive your energy.
