Simple and Small Tips on Diet

With people becoming busier in their life, they hardly find time to have a good food, and end up eating junk food, or all sort of processed food. So what happens when you have such a disturbed diet. Simple, very first outcome is weight gain. Then few things like Bad Appetite, Acidity, Nausea, Tiredness, Constipation, and so on..

So is it that we need to have a very rich, and costly food to satisfy our daily requirement. Or is it that we need to have a Diet, a hard core with no foods and only juices to loose the weight or clear the digestive system... Ummm Naaahhh..

Actually its not that complicated as we think. When people think of loosing weight, all they have in their mind is, no food, no fats, only fruits and only juices, and because of this they stop eating other things, which are important for our body, like minerals and vitamins that are required by the body. So what can be done.. yeah..!!

I would say its just few things that we need to make sure and follow, and this should help with all the problems that we people have when it comes to diet.

1) Small meal at regular interval:

Yeah that's correct. Lets stop eating till our stomach is Damn Full. Eat till you are almost full, so that all the food we had can be processed without any strain on our digestive system. Other thing is break your entire daily diet into 5-6 small meals a day. This is a very effective way of reducing weight. That's right, eating at a regular interval, will stop body to store food in the form or FATS, and thus it would also start removing that fats which are already stored in the body. So in short, Small Meals at regular intervals, and make sure in timely manner i.e. to have food at the same time you had the previous day.

2) Macros Makes your Day:

Make sure you consume, Protein, Carbohydrates, and Fat, in a good proportion. If you are more concentrating on weight loose, then it should be always the protein at a higher ratio. Meats without skin, curd, peanut butter, eggs etc are a good source. Also with Carbohydrates, start eating complex Carbohydrates, Eg: whole grains, vegetables, fruits, beans, legumes, nuts, and seeds. Also oatmeal, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, bananas, and brown rice, which will keep you very healthy. When it comes to fat, there are two types, unsaturated and saturated, so lets try to reduce the amount of saturated fats, which increases the cholesterol level, also risks to diabetes. Hence few things you can add to your diets are, seafood, walnuts, almonds, olive oil and many more. They should help reduce the cholesterol level in your blood.

3) Fibers:

Fibrous food, are real good for you health. Research found that people having adequate amount of fiber daily, have 40% less chances of having Heart Attack. High fiber diet, help in sugar level controls, prevent kidney stones, help clearing you dietary track, removes yeast and fungus out of your body. Eg: whole grains, vegetables, fruits, beans, legumes, nuts, seeds, Oat meals, Wheat Bran products, are high in fibers.

4) Colors are healthy:

Correct, colors are healthy, but not the artificial ones, its the natural colors. Try to include salads, in your diet. Make it colorful. Use veggies like carrots, beet roots, cucumber, cabbage, spinach, Mint leaves many more. Make it as much colorful as possible, this would give you all required vitamins and minerals. It would also help you get a good appetite, and a cleaner digestive system. It also improves your immune system. With Veggies, fruits should also be added to your diet. it can be added to the salads or can have it separately as per your wish.

3) Water Intake:

We all know 60% of our body is made up of water. Make sure that we drink atleast 2 liters of water a day. If consumed more the best it would be. Benefits of water are numerous. it helps removing toxic substances, helps removing byproducts of fats, Aids digestion process. Help important organs like kidney, to function normally. Keeps your body and muscles hydrated hence reducing fatigue and cramps. It always good to replace water with other Beverages, which contains high calories causing weight gain. Also try to avoid regular juices in a day and replace them with water. As drinking juices very frequently in a day spikes your insulin level which could cause chronic diseases. Also try to avoid tea, instead you can drink Green Tea, rich in antioxidant.

All these points are to give an idea of things you need to keep in mind when it comes to a healthy diet. However you need to plan your diet well, keeping the above points in your mind. The food mentioned are just an example, you can always replace then with any of your choice. For Eg, any one who don't like Oats in their morning diet, it can always be replaced by cereals like wheat bran flakes etc. So choice is yours. All the best with your diet.

Tip: If you are lazy enough to remember that you need to drink water, keep an alarm on your phone, which will remind you to drink water occasionally. Here is a good Ad to watch :) WATCH
