We know that improper nutrition can damage your health. If someone doesn’t eat right when they’re young, they’re more likely to do so when they’re adults. That is why it is very important to acquire healthy eating habits.
Eat consciously
When you eat, you should be aware of each bite. Especially the first few, because you will enjoy them the most. But this is not the only reason why you should eat more slowly. It takes the brain about 20 minutes to figure out if your stomach is full. Therefore, if you eat quickly, there is a high probability that you will cross the line of satiety and overeat.
Drink more water
Drinking water helps your body function properly as well as not overeating. Sometimes you can feel hungry when in fact you are thirsty. Not drinking enough water could lead to headache so better prevent that heal with pills. That is why it is important to have good hydration.
As we know human body is build with 60% water, and blood is 90% water, keep that in mind.
Eat the crunchy food
Foods that crunch when eaten, such as apples, nuts, engage your mouth more than the food you swallow. The more you chew, the slower you will eat, and your body will have more time to react, that is, to know if you are full.
Do not skip meals
Regular meals during the day keep the metabolism in full function, prevent energy loss, keep us awake and focused. It should be eaten every three to four hours. Without the energy you get from carbohydrates, your blood sugar levels can drop, which can lead to fatigue. Make good looking meal so you enjoy it more.
Not every smoothie is healthy
A smoothie that contains only fruit and fruit juice is, in essence, a dessert. A smoothie can be a healthy meal, provided you use vegetables and ingredients rich in protein and fiber, such as almond milk and chia seeds.
Have dinner at the table
The fewer things that attract your attention, the less stress you will feel while eating, and the better your body will absorb nutrients.
Make a plan
A weekly meal plan will help you eat better and save money and time during the week. Prepare meals in advance for work or school so you don’t eat junk and fast food and don’t have to think about what you’re going to eat on a food break. If you don’t know how to make your meal plan, consult an expert.
