Eating Well at Home: Food Inflation
If you’ve been to the grocery store recently, you are no stranger to climbing prices. The cost of food across the globe is up nearly 7%, with experts predicting even higher prices in the months to come. So, what can you do about it?

Shop for store or generic brands. They can be up to 20% less expensive!
Check your pantry stock. Plan meals around ingredients you already have on hand.
Enjoy a meatless Monday. Swap costly meat with beans, lentils, quinoa, or tofu.
Purchase fruits and veggies in their canned, frozen, dried, or fresh forms-whichever is less expensive.

Review the nutrition facts label for added sugar and salt.
Buy in bulk to help you get more for less.
Get creative with leftovers. Bring leftovers for lunch or get a bonus dinner with less effort.

Distracted Driving
April is National Distracted Driving month. Hundreds of people are injured, and eight people die every day as a result of distracted driving. Do you face distractions that take your attention away from the road?
Visual distraction: Your eyes are not on the road- texting and driving, reading directions from a GPS, or observing passengers in other vehicles or in your own Manual distraction: One or both hands are taken off the wheel- eating or drinking, smoking, putting on makeup, scrolling through an app on your phone, adjusting the radio station or air settings
Cognitive distraction: Your mind is not focused on driving- listening to an audiobook, talking or having an argument on the phone, or feeling strong emotions like being angry or anxious.

National Nutrition Month
It’s National Nutrition Month! Created by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND), this year’s theme is Celebrate a World of Flavors. Libby Mills, a national spokesperson for the AND says, “Celebrating the cultural heritage, traditions and recipes from all people is a tasty way to nourish ourselves, learn about one another and find appreciation in our diversity.” Here are some ways you can celebrate a world of flavors:
Put a Greek-inspired spin on your snack by dipping raw veggies in tzatziki, a yogurtbased dressing made with cucumbers and dill.
Munch on steamed edamame, or Japanese soybeans, as an appetizer.
Experiment with spices like turmeric, cardamom, ginger, red chilis, and garam masala to create a warm and comforting Indian curry dish.
Top a slice of whole wheat toast with tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, basil, and oregano for a fresh Italian bruschetta. Whip up a Mexican-inspired omelet with black beans, bell peppers, and sliced avocado. Top with salsa, diced green chilies, or cotija cheese. Challenge yourself to broaden your horizons and try something new this month!

Healthy New Year Resolutions
So long, 2021! It’s hard to believe another year has come and gone. What have the past 365 days looked like for you? The start of a new year is a great opportunity to reflect on challenges or successes you may have experienced in 2021 as you create New Year’s Resolutions for 2022.

While we all have good intentions and plan to be disciplined to keep our resolutions, more than two-thirds of people fail to stay committed to their goals. Why is this? Most of the time, it’s not our lack of effort, but rather the resolution itself that can be unrealistic, setting us up for failure instead of success.
