Robert Whitfield MD explains how small habits compound into real health gains. Start with one yogurt a week or two salads a week. The slogan: inch by inch, life's a cinch; yard by yard, life is hard.
And I have a saying. I always say it. I learned this from my mentor in the early 2000s when I was developing a nonstick spray for brownie trays, believe it or not. And it was inch by inch. Life's a cinch. Yard by yard. Life is hard. You. You put that mentality towards your diet and exercise, and it makes perfect sense. It's easier to have two salads a week, then change your whole diet to be how the ideal diet is. So making these small little changes, having one yogurt a week, having two salads a week, and then trying that for a few weeks until that gets ingrained, and then moving forward with another change will make it more sustainable. And these impacts on the gut and the brain are compounding effect.
