Bites from the Dietician

We love to hear from our readers! Are there nutrition questions you have or subjects related to nutrition you would like to learn more about? Email your questions, suggestions, and inquiries to Dining@salisbury.edu for publication in our next issue of The Zest.

Have you ever had a goal you were wholly committed to only to see a breakdown in the steps to getting there? We intend to exercise, build muscle, lose weight, study better or be more social. Still, for some reason, we don't get consistent. Building new habits is hard. We are wired to continue our existing ways. Bringing in new practices involves creating new neural pathways. It's no wonder we have trouble. But this doesn't mean we are doomed never to change – not at all.

Habit stacking is a way to bring new behaviors into your life with gentle changes. It involves "stacking" or adding a new goal to an existing habit. This way, it's easier to remember to do it. The best part of habit stacking is that it doesn't require massive changes – you can start small and add on as you go. Click here for different approaches to habit stacking.
