Easy to follow tips...!!!
1. Eat breakfast: The best way to start in the morning is a healthy breakfast. The key to a good breakfast is the balance. Include lean proteins, whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Try a bun of low-fat milk, chopped almonds and berries, or a pie with mixed vegetables and low-fat cheese.
2. Cook fruit and vegetables: Fruit and vegetables add color, flavor, vitamins, minerals and fiber to your dish. Set as your goal to consume 2 cups of fruit daily and 2 ½ cups of vegetables daily. Do not let the winter stop you from enjoying it. It may be harder to find the winter season or the fruits you like, but also frozen or canned, are good alternatives.
3. Watch the size of the portions: Do you know if you eat the right portion size? Use smaller dishes and cups that can help keep portion sizes under control. Use half of your dish for vegetables, one quarter for cereals (bread, macaroni, rice, potatoes) and the other for lean protein.
4. Be Active: Regular physical activity reduces blood pressure and helps control weight and anxiety. Start doing what exercise you can, for at least 10 minutes at a time. Children and adolescents should have 60 or more minutes of physical exercise a day than adults. You do not have to go to the gym, take a stroll after dinner or play a game like basketball and football.
5. Healthy snacks: Healthy snacks can maintain your energy levels between meals. Consume a snack of lean protein, healthy fats, fiber and carbohydrates. Try low-fat yogurt with fruit or a whole-grain cracker with low fat or a moderate fruit such as banana, apple.
6. Get to know the food labels: Have you ever wondered about the difference between "low fat" and "low fat?" Did you think that the "calorie-free" on a label really means no calories? Medicines has strict guidelines on how these terms in the food label can be used. Look for and learn about food labels.
7. Follow the Food Safety Guidelines: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that about one in six is sick of food poisoning every year. To avoid getting sick due to poor food hygiene, separate raw meat, poultry and seafood from ready-to-eat foods such as bread and vegetables. Use a food thermometer to make sure the food is cooked properly. Freeze the food quickly at a suitable temperature to slow the growth of bacteria.
8. Dine out without escaping your goals: You can dine in a restaurant while eating healthy! The key is, you have planned beforehand what to eat and choose foods with care. Think of the nutrients you can add to your dish, such as fruits, vegetables, lean meat, poultry or fish, and ask to be grilled, steamed or cooked.
