We have all heard that “We are what we eat”.There is nothing
more true than this maxim.
In today's times our life is extremely hectic and
stressful.It is very easy to reach out for that bag of chips or those muffins
and end up eating more than 500 calories beyond what is needed.This leads to
piling on pounds and can also cause bloating,acidity and bad skin.
There are ways to eat for good health.If we eat that way we
end up reducing our stress, get our daily doses of antioxidants and getting the
nutrients necessary for being healthy.
There are few simple laws of eating , here is how:
Eat a balanced breakfast:Breakfast provides fuel to your
body.If you skip it, you will crave food all day and in much larger quantities
than you actually need.A balanced breakfast consistsing of good carbs, lean
/vegan protein and few veggies will help kickstart your metabolism and keep you
full all day.
Eat according to your activity levels:Calories are fuel for
your body.If you over fuel your body, you will have a spill-over in terms of
excess fat.If you eat less, you will not have energy for daily tasks and be
weak.Hence find the exact amount depending upon your activity levels.
Eat Good Carbs:Contrary to popular diet myths, good
carbohydrates rich in fibre are a wonderful source of energy.Ensure to eat
unpolished carbs like oats,ragi, brown rice and quinoa for good energy to be
slowly released during the day.
Fill up on the proteins:Proteins are building blocks of the
body.When we work out, our muscles experience wear and tear.Proteins help
rebuild these muscles and sculpt.They also digest slowly and give a sense of
satiety.
Load up on greens, veggies and fruit:They give you that
splendid glow, the antioxidants beat free radicals and are friendly on your
waistline.They have barely any calories and are a fantastic way to beat stress.
Limit sugar:Sugar when not utilized by the body morphs into
fat which is stored and hard to lose.Sugar satiates but is the chief cause of
over weight.
