How to Kickstart Your Healthy Lifestyle

So I know you have eaten those fries, pizzas, sodas and those huge burgers all your life (something that I have done too).  But we all deserve a chance in life, don’t we? To say goodbye to those poor eating habits, to come closer to natural foods, to purify our bodies with herbs and nature and to lead a healthier life as well as a prolonged lifetime.

For this, we need to adapt to a healthier eating lifestyle and kick our bad habits for good. If you have finally planned to give yourself one chance to change for good, here are a few guidelines that will help you achieving your goal.

•        Eat things closer to nature and less refined

Bring little changes to life like instead of fried potatoes go for baked or mashed ones. They are healthier and have a better content of healthy calories. Include raw fruits and vegetables in your diet, make fruits your snack. Instead of refined flour, refined rice, refined, sugar; select whole-grain flour, brown rice and brown sugar.

•        Replace soda with fresh juices

Add more juices to life. They are not only tasty and refreshing but also very very healthy for all the organs of our body including heart, liver, skin, kidneys. Add fresh fruit or vegetable juice in breakfast, it can also be your option for snack. Avoid soda as much as you can. What soda does to you is that it relieves your thirst but does not hydrate your body, rather it further dehydrates the body and your body becomes deprived of water, minerals and electrolytes. Fresh fruit juices are very hydrating and purify toxicities from the blood.

•        Follow the table manners

We all belong to the generation who eats whatever is available, whenever we feel hunger, wherever we find ourselves famished in whatever position. Whether in bed, or car, or a queue, or office, wherever and whenever; we just eat. No rules apply to us! Researchers have proposed that eating properly on the dinner table with family or friends around has a very influential impact on our diet. We eat only as much as we require, we chew properly and we take small bites. In comparison, when we eat haphazardly we always consume more, unintentionally.

•       Indulge into exercise daily

Exercise is not only for those who pursue weight loss; rather exercise is vital for all of us to remain fit and healthy. Morning exercise increases our metabolic rate, purifies our blood, strengthens out immunity system, enhances our cognitive abilities and keeps our mood jovial the entire day.

•        Get Nutty

Eat plenty of nuts all day long. They are a very healthy snack. Nuts have all necessary proteins and vitamins with zero bad calories. They induce satiety and helps in losing weight too.  Add peanuts or natural peanut butter to your breakfast. Walnuts and cashew nuts are very healthy as evening snack.

Just a few modifications in your lifestyle and you can easily beat your unhealthy and poor eating habits. For these modifications, a little will power and self control is required as most of the people in our community are kind of addicted to junk and unhealthy food.
