Healthy January: one day at a time
Follow along with our healthy January plan, one day at a time. You'll pick up new habits, recipes and wellbeing tips as we go
For many of us, January marks a time of change. We use the beginning of the year to leave behind what doesn't serve us and kick-start shiny new habits. Whether that's losing a certain amount of weight, eating more or less of certain foods, kicking the caffeine or giving up smoking – the resolutions are endless.
However, we often set goals which are too demanding. This leaves us feeling overwhelmed by what seems like an impossible task and, eventually, we may give up on our resolutions all together.
Not this year. We created our 'One day at a time' healthy January plan so that you can make small, doable changes every day. From eating more plant foods and choosing meals which nourish your gut, to batch cooking, taking vitamin D supplements and improving your sleep. You'll find expert tips and delicious recipes to keep you on track. Every week, we'll update the plan here so that you've got another week of inspiration, so keep coming back to this page to have your best, healthiest January yet.
