My evenings are chaotic at my house. My husband and I have twins aged two and that time period between the time of preschool pickup and bedtime is often the most difficult part of the day.

About The Healthline Nutrition 

Both of us have jobs that are very busy and are constantly doing many things at the same time such as cooking trying to remember when someone fed the dog and even negotiating at the level of a diplomat just to mention a few.

In all of that it’s important to be eating healthy food and exercising as much as we can, sleeping well and focusing on self-care. Who can find time to do all of that?

My biggest health-conscious eating problem to overcome is simply finding the time, and the energy to prepare healthy meals for me as well as our family. In the last few years, we are able to be a team in a way we could not when we were children (I’m not even sure of what we ate during the beginning of their lives, let’s be truthful). They love going to the grocery store and eat the things they are seeing us eating. I’m thrilled to continue moving forward in this direction.

But that doesn’t mean that it’s simple. Food preferences of toddlers are constantly changing and at times they do not want to eat any food. The evenings of mine generally end exactly the same: with two kids at the counter or sitting in my lap, enjoying time together , and “helping” me prepare dinner.

This is the reality of healthy eating. What’s yours?

My journey to a healthy diet

I’m not a model child of healthy eating. It is true that I’ve been trending more in this direction in my adult years but I did stick to what I’ve come to realize was an poorly planned diet of vegetarians.

My life was vegetarian since childhood to my mid-twenties. I was eating yogurt, fruit bread, cheese and pasta. My friend still likes to mock me about being an “milk-tarian.”

The thing I wasn’t able to grasp at the time was how any type of diet and especially one that eliminates certain foods, is a process that requires the planning and the balanced. I began planning more balanced meals that covered diverse food groups after I moved to Iceland in the year 2015. I also began eating fish that is fresh and abundant in Iceland. For me it was a lifestyle change I’ve thoroughly enjoyed exploring the culinary possibilities the more flexible eating habits have given me.

These are my personal preferences and a predominantly pescatarian diet works for me.

But that doesn’t mean it the ideal way to eat or eat for you. Healthy eating is a process and one that evolves with time. And you are in control to decide which food items and eating patterns help you feel at your best.

The problem of eating healthy

It’s true that healthy eating can be a challenge. It’s difficult to determine where to start We’re constantly bombarded with health-related misinformation, and food choices can be expensive or difficult to locate.

However, eating healthy is a major goal in wellness for a lot of people.

In a research conducted by Healthline Media, 72% of the respondents stated “that “eating well-balanced and nutritious food” was their primary fitness or health goal.

In a different study we conducted, two thirds of participants indicated they were concerned about nutrition content. However, only one-third stated they ate “very or very healthfully.” The remainder stated that their eating habits were neither very nor at all, slightly, or slightly healthy.

This really struck us as it suggests that most of them would like to eat well however, less than one-third actually took the time to do so.

What’s in the way?

Change can be difficult, and life can be hectic. People are looking for more than just facts and want concrete steps to begin along with assistance throughout their journey. The recommendations must be easily accessible and cost-effective. Connectivity and community also play a role.

Additionally biases and inequities within the food industry are a major cause of accessibility as well as health inequities. There is also a necessity for the ability to communicate with culturally competent in the field of nutrition. All all too often, what’s thought of as “healthy” is viewed by a homogenous, Western lens , which often overlooks or “others” foods and customs that have profound cultural roots.

In this area there is a need to challenge and expand the definitions of what constitutes healthy food, and offer more pertinent and relevant suggestions to assist people in achieving their wellness and health goals.
