Eating is Good?
If I said eating is good, many people may disagree with me. However, I am not talking about those foods that are high in sugars and loaded with calories etc. Besides, when we feel low in energy, most of us reach for food. So, I want to share some of the things I do when I am looking for a little boost.
When I go grocery shopping, my rule is to make sure I fill the cart with plenty of nutritional foods for snacks. For example, walnuts are good for protein so taking a handful of it helps my hunger and gives the nutrition my body needs. Moreover, there are many foods that contain natural sugars like dry dates, raisins, bananas, honey etc.
Another habit I have grown to love is to make sure not to give into my temptation to eat junk food. No matter what, I have slowly trained myself not to buy anything that will not help my body to grow in good health. I figure if I don’t have it at home I will be restricted from it naturally.
Walking Anyone?
Going walking is one of the activities I love to do. Most of the time, I go walking in the neighborhood. For some reason, it does not feel like something I have to force myself to do, maybe because I enjoy it so much. It is a lot easier when it doesn’t take so much convincing like when I have to go for a workout in the gym.
What’s more, I had no idea that taking a thirty-minute walk everyday had so many benefits. It not only builds your cardiovascular system, it burns calories. I was reading an article by Dr. Don Colbert, a renowned health and nutritional expert, and he recommended a thirty-minute walk everyday to one of his patients, and she lost fifty pounds in one year. Though, he also said that not everyone’s body responds in the same way. Read more »
Drinking Water
When it comes to water many of us would rather have a soda pop or juice. However, water is essential to the human body as it is made of 58% to 78% water depending on the body weight. Additionally, it also helps provide more oxygen to our brain when we drink water. It thins the blood which makes the blood flow more efficiently. It clears out toxins and flushes out any harmful chemicals in our body.
In the beginning, it was hard for me to drink water unless I was eating something. I tried putting bottles of water everywhere in the house so I would pick one up and drink. It did not work. Then I bought half a gallon of water and thought to myself that finishing this amount everyday should not be a problem. It wasn’t easy, but it was achievable.
