5 Tips for Healthy Living


1. Drink water. Most people are chronically dehydrated. We often mistake thirst for hunger. If you feel hungry between meals, drink a glass of water before giving into cravings. Limit liquid calories from soda and juice.
 
2. Eat plant-based foods. Plant foods are typically lower in fat and calories and higher in filling fiber than meat, dairy and processed foods, while providing loads of essential nutrients.

 3. Eat breakfast. Skipping meals causes your blood sugar levels to go up and down, affecting your energy and moods. It can also cause overeating later on because you're so hungry.

4 Eat mindfully. Turn off the TV. Get away from the computer. Sit down and savor the food you are eating with no distractions.

5. Get moving. Do any type of physical activity that you enjoy. Find the movement or exercise that works best for you, and then do it most days of the week.

Fish — it's all good!

Fish can be a great way to add some variety to your meals!

Fish is a good source of protein without the saturated fat found in meats. And many types of fish are also rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which can boost heart health. Mackerel, herring, sardines, lake trout, albacore tuna, and salmon are all rich in omega-3s. The healthiest way to prepare the latest catch is to bake or grill it with olive oil, spices, and lemon wedges.

And did you know that canned salmon is a slammin' way to add extra calcium to your diet?

It's all Good!!

Make Your Eating Plan Automatic

Over a 14-day period, train yourself to Healthy meal choices.

 You'll program your body so you will be in charge of what you're eating.

·       Eat 3 main Meals a Day, plus snacks, so you're never hungry.

·       Eat the same things for breakfast and lunch almost each day. Yes, every day. People who minimize food choices lose more weight and have improved results.

Remember your Waist is more important that you’re Weight. This is because of its proximity to vital organs, belly fat is the most dangerous fat you can carry and it is one of the strongest predictors of health risks (heart disease, diabetes and more bad stuff) associated with obesity.

·       Ditch the scale in favor of the Tape measure.

·       Measure your natural waist (to find your natural waist bend from side to side). The ideal
         measurement is 32 1/2 inches or less for women and 35 inches or less for men.
