Working on well-being: Enjoyment is key

Ellen says finding enjoyment in what you eat and what you do is key. “For activity, yoga may not be my cup of tea, but I enjoy CrossFit. Find an activity that you enjoy doing and do it for longer and more often. For eating, red peppers may not be my favorite, but I love lots of beets, cauliflower and brussels sprouts. Fill half your plate with a variety of fruits and vegetables that you like, try a new vegetable or fruit every week or month, switch to whole grains for one of your daily foods, and eat whole grains more often,” she says.
