Tips For Eating Well

Beauty treatments, facials, hair, and skin products will only take you so far. But to truly make these external regimes work for you, you will have to dig a little deeper. To look healthy on the outside, you need to be healthy on the inside. Get that clear, glowing skin and luscious, thick hair with a wholesome, healthy diet full of unprocessed, wholesome foods. For all your health and beauty goals, check out these simple yet effective tips for eating well.

Have Regular, Timely Meals

Are you guilty of binging on cheese popcorn at midnight or gobbling down chips endlessly? Plan your meals more efficiently with proper gaps in between, around two to two and a half hours. This will curb you from snacking in between meals and you can finally get off those hunger pangs as well. Swap your snacks for fruits, healthy nuts or low-fat yogurt.

Don’t Skip Your Breakfast

Having a hearty breakfast will help you keep track of having regular meals as well. As you go through the day, your metabolism slows down as well. So, if you skip breakfast, which is also when your metabolism capacity is at its peak, you will tend to go all out for lunch or dinner, when your stomach is already tired and starting to wind up for the day.

Go for a big breakfast every morning full of whole grain cereals, low-fat milk or yogurt along with some fruits or vegetables.

Eat Five Portions Of Fruits And Vegetables A Day                                                                 

We all know how essential it is to get our daily dose of vitamins, nutrients, and minerals from fruits and vegetables. But we still tend to skip eating them. For a wholesome diet, you should aim for at least five portions of fruits and veggies a day.

Cut Down On Saturated Fats And Sugar

Cut down on foods like meat pies, sausages, hard cheese, butter, pastries, cakes and biscuits as these contain high levels of saturated fats which are bad for your cholesterol. Instead opt for unsaturated fats found in vegetable oils, oily fish, avocados, nuts, and seeds. Unlike saturated fats, unsaturated fats lower cholesterol levels.

Cut down on foods with added sugar along with sugary soft drinks and fizzy drinks as these tend to have high levels of calories. But be sure to drink plenty of water, at least 6 to 8 glasses a day.

Try To Eat Less Salt-No More Than 6 Grams A Day

Seventy-five percent of the salt we eat is already in the food we buy like breakfast cereals, soups, sauces and ready to eat meals. So, you could easily be eating more salt without realizing it which can raise your blood pressure. People with high blood pressure are three times more likely to develop heart disease or have a stroke than people with normal blood pressure.

Along with eating healthy, it is also important to be active and aim to be at a healthy weight. Regular exercise combined with a healthy diet will help you get closer to total fitness.
