A new year means new resolutions and also new eating habits, right? Well, either to look good or firm or to even stay healthy without losing or gaining much weight, some proper habits if inculcated into the routine may help one stay fit, fabulous and healthy! Some tips and habits mentioned below which one could follow step-by-step to help maintain shape and stay healthy are –
1. Inclusion of More Fruits and Veggies –
This is because fruits and veggies make one feel fuller
instead of the plain old bag of potato chips which makes one feel guilty after eating it whereas eating more spoons of fruits like watermelon, muskmelon, cucumber or papaya, does not make it feel too much or too less. After all, they are healthy substitutes.
Similarly, adding more greens and sprouts salads to your lunch and dinner would help the skin glow and provide digestion faster and cleaner.
2. Fibre and More Fibre –
Fibre and gut health go hand in hand. This is because the intake of fibres helps in numerous ways such as – digestion, and weight control and helps blood sugar to level itself out. One can reduce diabetes if this follows. Eating more fruits, legumes, whole grains and vegetables could help keep the fibre level in the body intact and healthy.
3. Eat Plant-Based –
Eating more plant-based is simply improving the environment and making your body healthier. This would help us switch consciously from eating animal-based meats and others to a greener and cleaner diet. It also helps us reduce our dependence on only eating meat. Vitamins and minerals like iron, zinc and vitamin B12 can all be derived from plant-based nutrition.
4. Make at Home –
Stock up on healthy snacks and fruits when sitting at home rather than ordering food from outside. Food from outside is unhealthy and not as fresh as what you would make in your kitchen and keep it fresh and tasty. Home-made is healthier, customisable and tastier compared to ordering from outside.
5. Hydration is Key –
Water, natural pressed juices, smoothies, herbal teas, protein-based drinks, milkshakes, etc are all the best to be taken in moderation. High sugary drinks are to be had once in a while, but for daily glowing skin and body, eight glasses of water are required to be had. The body needs water to flush out its toxins and keep the bodily fluids in moderation and stop the body from getting dehydrated.
6. No Junk –
Eating more junk food causes more trouble to the body and the overall system. This leads to an increase in heart diseases and other cardiovascular diseases. These days junk food has increased in various forms and causes real trouble with causing diabetes, cancer and all other such health and obesity disorders.
