Eating healthier and losing weight show up on almost every top five New Year’s resolution list, but if you’re like many people, you likely gave up weeks (or months) ago. People make the sensible connection between what they eat and their health, but miss out on the opportunity to design a kitchen space that supports the creation of healthy new habits and where preparing healthy and tasty meals is easy and fun.

Evaluate Your Kitchen Space

To better understand if your kitchen supports overall wellness, ask yourself the following questions:

• Does your kitchen have good lighting?
• Are countertops uncluttered for meal prep and easy to clean?
• Do you own helpful appliances like slow cookers or food processors?
• Are appliances accessible and in good condition?
• Is cookware easily accessible?
• Does your ventilation system effectively remove cooking odors?
• Are fresh foods and seasonings readily available?
• Does your cleanup area make post-cooking efficient?
