Top DIET Tips, that work
Tip #1 Buy and make your own Food
There is a saying “You are what you eat” and that is very true.
We have surveyed thousands of people, to find out what they eat and the following became very evident.
Most people do not know which foods are Healthy and which are not.
Foods that are not Healthy – Take aways, Processed Foods, Refined sugary foods, Pastries, Sodas and Energy drinks
Foods that are Healthy – Fresh Food, such as Vegatables, Fruits, Nuts, Lean Meats and Dairy products
The healthiest way to eat, is to buy fresh produce and make the food yourself (this is also a fun way to learn new recipes)
Tip #2 Start to get some Exercise
What do we mean buy exercise? Well anything that leads to increased physical activity, be it walking, running, dancing, housework, climbing stairs, etc
This is the key to increasing your metabolism rate and then your muscles start burning stored fats.
Start moderately and increase your physical activities over time, until you start getting to a higher level of fitness.
A good test for this is, walk fast for a mile and if you are out breath, you are unfit and need to exercise more.
Tip #3 Increase your Fluid Intake
It is recommended that we drink at least 2 litres of water every day.
This is vital as too little water leads to dehydration and then your metabolism shuts down, thus burning less fats.
Water also lessens your appetite and a good tip is to drink a glass before every meal, making you less hungry
Tip #4 Make sure you get the Recommended Daily Allowance of the key nutrients (RDA)
Most people don’t really know which nutrients their bodies need, how much of it and in which foods they are found.
Educate yourself on your bodies needs and eat Foods that are High in Nutrients and Low in Calories.
Most people that are overweight eat foods that are Low in Nutrients and High in Calories
Once again, Take aways and Processed foods are very low in nutrients and high in calories, so avoid them
Tip #5 Start living a Healthier Lifestyle
In order to be healthy, you need to look after your body and keep it in great shape, if you don’t it will probably start giving you problems which could lead to ailments and illnesses.
The better you look after your body, the stronger your immune system will be.
So make sure you eat healthy, fresh foods, do enough physical activities, drink lots of fluids and eat less bad foods.
For the rest of your life, you will be making choices regarding your health, every day. Always do what is best in the long term, so that you can be active and enjoy your retirement (most people retire with so many aches and pains, that they have to spend increasingly more money, to try and get it fixed).
