3) STOP cooking everything in olive oil.

If you’re cooking over high heat, don’t choose olive oil. Olive oil has a lower smoke point—the point at which an oil literally begins to smoke (olive oil’s is between 365° and 420°F) –faster than some other oils. When you heat olive oil to its smoke point, the beneficial compounds in oil start to degrade, and potentially health-harming compounds form.

4) Looking for a New Year’s breakfast that’s special but won’t put you in a food coma? Try Blueberry Pancakes. Blueberries not only add natural sweetness, but pack in antioxidants as well.

5) Start packing your own lunch.

It’s a reasonable resolution for 2016. Having a lunchbox you love will make things easier and you’re in coltrol of what you eat.

We wish you a happy and healthy new year!
