In today’s health-conscious world, adopting positive eating habits has become easier than ever. However, it’s important to remember not to get carried away and confuse a healthier lifestyle with extreme dieting that can eventually cause more harm than good.
Here are 5 simple tips for healthier eating habits.
The Color Factor
Fruits and vegetables are full of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that have a positive impact on the body. In fact, the reason why they vary in color is directly related to the nutrients they pack, so don’t be afraid to turn your dish into a fully-fledged rainbow.
Slow Down your Roll
It’s easier said than done, but taking the time to properly eat your meal can go a long way. By chewing your food slowly and deliberately, you can intuitively listen to your body and keep from eating more than you need.
Stress Management
Stress eating is one of the most damaging habits. Try to find other ways to cope with stressful situations and unload without having to turn to food for comfort.
Stay Hydrated
Your body needs water, and not just when it’s hot outside. It’s that simple. Take every measure to remember to stay hydrated, whether that means keeping a bottle on you wherever you go or setting timers and regular reminders.
A Little Structure
When it comes to food, we all have a tendency to start with our favorite part of the meal first. Instead, try to eat the most nutritious foods first – vegetables, salads, and seeds - to pack as many nutrients as possible before you’re full.
