For something more effective, it’s best to always consult science.
Eating healthy is a challenge for most people these days, especially with all the processed and genetically modified foods, plus other sinful options available in the market. Although eating is one of life’s pleasures that must be thoroughly enjoyed, it shouldn’t be done so irresponsibly. There must still be conscious effort to watch what you eat, so you can live healthier and longer.
Thankfully, there are also many options to help people improve their eating habits. They can choose from countless diets that all claim to yield stellar results (but are also pricey), or they can go for tried and tested, scientifically proven ways to eat better. The latter requires simple changes in your diet that can make a lot of difference. You will basically have to modify your selections the next time you shop for food.
Make the tips below a habit of yours, so you can achieve better health soon.
Stay away from simple carbs.
Simple carbohydrates like white bread and refined sugars do not contain the same amount of nutrients found in complex carbohydrates. They also break down faster and can leave you hungry more often than necessary. Go for whole grains that can give you the energy you need, keep you fuller longer, and reduce the risk of diabetes. Instead of white bread and white rice, you can eat whole grain bread and brown rice.
Take in more healthy fats.
You shouldn’t completely cut off fat from your diet. The body still needs a healthy amount of fat as a source of energy and to absorb fat-soluble vitamins. Get your healthy dose of fat from olive oil, nuts, seeds, fish, and avocados.
Pack more heat into your food.
Packing in heat (as in with cayenne pepper or any hot sauce) into your food can aid your body in using fat. The spicy taste will also prevent your craving for sweet and salty foods. You can make it a habit to carry around a small bottle of hot sauce that you can sprinkle on top of your meals.
Eat more fibre.
Fibre-rich foods aid the digestive system and make you feel fuller longer. They can also modulate the immune system, therefore decreasing the risk of diabetes, cancer, and obesity. Make sure to add at least 5 grams of fibre-rich food to each meal, so you can really notice and feel the difference in your diet. Fibre-rich foods include bran, beans, berries, whole grains, peas, greens, nuts, potatoes, and squash, just to name a few.
Go for organic.
Organic is definitely in now, and you should get in on it, too. More and more people are becoming aware of the benefits of eating organic food, which is making it more accessible. Organic foods have higher antioxidant value (50% more) and no pesticides. Studies show that eating organic food can boost the immune system, improve sleep, and reduce the risk of obesity.
