HEALTHY YOU IS A SUCCESSFUL YOU
There are tons of advices and plans by nutritionists, bloggers, and doctors about healthy eating habits and nutritious diet plans. But not all of them work for everyone because everyone’s body reacts differently to different eating styles and food components. But there are few eating habits that work perfectly for every single person who want to stay healthy and are followed by all of the experts. These habits would change the way you eat and live. The first change you need to make is that don’t give up anything. Don’t stop eating the foods you enjoy or love to eat, but the key is to eat in smaller portions. It just not only keeps your body in frame but you would gradually reduce weight and that too in a healthy way without hurting your body. But don’t be too strict and then end up over eating because of dissatisfaction. Another rule is to balance and plan your meals, for instance if you eat a luscious and calorie dense meal in a restraint or at home, just balance that out by the rest of your day meals. Fit in some healthy fare into your meal plan like grains, fruits, vegetables, and nuts. In this way one fatty meal won’t derail your diet. Stop counting calories in every meal; instead focus on the types of food that are healthy and good for you. For example fresh fruit juices contain a good amount of calories but they are extremely healthy for your body. You can avoid sugary and starchy bakery goodies and junk food. Healthy and nutrient rich foods will provoke your hunger, stable blood sugar levels, minimize cravings and helps your brain signaling to your stomach when you are full. Try to eat same meals every day, which means that keep your menu full of nutrients, fibers, vitamins, proteins. Do not excess the quantity of essentials but maintain a good balance so that your body would never get deficient in any of the above mentioned essentials. By eating same type of food daily you can predict your calorie intake and you can maintain a fit body shape with less effort. For example take oat meal daily in your breakfast but change the toppings of fresh fruit every day, also drink fruit juice daily but you can alter the its flavor.
One golden rule of staying healthy, fit, and in good shape is to eat breakfast daily. Never skip it because it will slow down your metabolism, shrink your stomach, your body would store the calories for the rest of the day and you would put on weight instead of reducing it. It is the most common habit found in all health conscious people and people who reduced weight magically in a small period. Eating breakfast regularly would keep a better mineral and vitamin status in your body and calorie intake would also be reduced. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Drink almost 6-8 12 ounces glass of water daily, if you cannot, then drink at least 4-5 glasses and increase this amount while exercising. Just plain old water would keep your body hydrated and cut down excess fats, excretes impurities, brighten and freshen your skin, and keep your belly full and you eat less.
Eat in small portions and eat often is also a very useful tip for reducing weight and staying healthy. If you stay hungry for more than 3 hours, your body would start storing fats. Try to eat six small meals a day instead of 3 large meals. In this way your total number of calories would be reduced and you will lose belly fat too. Stop eating after 10 p.m. because going to bed with an empty stomach would keep your body’s metabolism in a fat burning state. And most importantly reduce the amount of junk and processed food in your diet. They have poor nutritional content, high in calories, high in fats, high in sugar, and are laden with toxic chemicals.
