    7 Tips to Boost your Healthy Food Habits Thinking about eating healthy and having a good diet is one thing, but keeping those healthy food habits up is another thing entirely. Our whole lives we’ve been told it’s important to eat healthily and to develop good habits, but those habits and diets seem to change all the time. However, one thing is for certain, as we get older, having good eating habits becomes more and more vital. That is because in our youth, the bad side of eating unhealthy meals feels so far away, but these decisions start to creep up on us and hit us hard. Now is the time, no matter your age, to develop better eating habits with healthier foods. Having been through my fair share of fads and trials, I can say with some certainty, that these 7 tips are the best way to start:

    1. Cook your own meals

    2. Try fruits and vegetables you’ve not had before

    3. Keep a record of what you like

    4. Try swapping healthy alternatives to improve your meals

    5. Make smaller portions using smaller plates and bowls

    6. Quit sodas or at least, cut down on them

    7. Drink lots of water - especially one a day with lime or lemon juice mixed in

    These might help solve some health problems you feel, might fill you up with energy as well as help you lose weight. They are great foundations for feeling better no matter your age. To find out more about each of these tips, check out this excellent article on 7 tips for developing better eating habits.   (Article contributed by Jess Walter, freelance health and food writer and mother.  She loves the freedom that comes with freelance life and additional time it means she gets to spend with her family and pets.)

Number of Servings:

Ingredients:

  1. 2 cups - flour
  2. 1 1/2 cups - coconut flakes
  3. 1 teaspoons - baking powder
  4. pinchs - salt
  5. 1 cups - butter at room temperature
  6. 1/2 cups - sugar
  7. 3 - eggs
  8. 1/2 teaspoons - vanilla extract
  9. 1 cups - milk
  10. 4 tablespoons - peach jam
  11. 3/4 cups - coconut flakes

Directions:

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 9-inch round cake pan with baking spray.

In a bowl, combine flour, coconut flakes, baking powder and salt; set aside.

In another bowl, combine butter and sugar, beating with electric mixer until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well. Add vanilla and slowly add dry mixture and milk. Blend for 1 minute at medium speed.

Turn batter into treated pan and bake for 45-50 minutes (do not open oven during the first 15 minutes). After 40 minutes, test with a toothpick in center. When it comes out clean, remove cake from oven and allow to sit for 1 minute; then transfer to a plate.

Spoon jam into a small bowl and mix with a fork to give it a soft and even consistency. While cake is still hot, spread with jam on top and sides. Cover top and sides of cake with coconut flakes.

Allow to cool before slicing.
