DON’T JUST EAT, EAT RIGHT
Do you wonder if it’s possible to eat everything and stay healthy? Do you question your eating habits sometimes? Here’s a solution: don’t just eat, eat right and by ‘eat right’, we mean eat healthy. We mean eat a balanced diet even on a budget. It can be achieved but are you willing to achieve it? What sacrifices are you willing to make because eating right involves cleaning out your cabinet, tossing out junks and more.
3 WAYS TO EAT RIGHT
JUNK TOSS
” I said I am sorry mama, I never meant to hurt you, but tonight I am tossing out the junk” sorry, got carried away. Now, what is considered junk food? Well, junk food is pre-prepared or processed food lacking standard nutritional quality. Meaning they could cause more harm than good for your body system. What is classified as junk food? sadly they are the most accessible, widespread and publicized food. Fast food (chips, burgers, fries), processed foods (bacon, canned meat), drinks(carbonated, sugary drinks). Obviously, it’s not easy to leave these guys behind but once you see them as the BAD GUYS you will put them in their place.
‘But they look so good’, you might say, be warned my friends, it’s a trap. They are designed to look palatable, that is pleasing to the eye and taste good but they are low in fiber, high in fat and high in liquid sugar.
FLUSH OUT
Did you know that up to 60% of the human body is water, of course you did. If you didn’t know, now you do. But water isn’t just a part of us, it’s a need for us, it’s healthy, drink water. However, it has its limit and we are talking 20-28 liters per day is doing too much and can lead to hyponatremia. Hyponatremia is a condition that occurs when the level of sodium in the blood is too low as a result of the body holding too much water. Adequately taking 3.7 liters per day for a man and 1.5 for a woman to flush out, cleanse and support proper bowel movement is recommended. In addition, it also helps with skin clarity, weight control, kidney function and physical performance daily.
SUBSTITUTE
After tossing out the junk, it’s time to bring in the new guys, the healthy guys. GREENS… Don’t say a word and eat your greens. Effectively substituting fast food for vegetable based meals is a health booster for your heart, body, mind and soul. Sugary drinks can be substituted for water, soy milk, zero-sugar beverages and more.
To wrap up, you can add exercise to the changes and no you don’t have to lift insane weights, leave that to bodybuilders and weightlifters. Jog, run for miles, skip, cycle and swim. That’s good enough.
Hope this was insightful.
