Your longevity and quality of life largely depends on your diet, this means that making small lifestyle changes could go a long way in ensuring you live longer and enjoy your life to the fullest. One way to do this is to adopt a healthy and balanced diet. In this article, I'll present a number of healthy diet tips to living a longer life and lose weight.
These tips can be handy if placed in a place that is easily accessible such as the fridge door, the kitchenware drawer or napkin holder. Practice they say makes perfect and the same applies to these tips. Practice them until they become second nature, if you don't like a tip, simply drop it and pick the next one that works for you.
These tips should be treated like an experiment, one that enables you to learn more about yourself and habits. Do not give up on them but keep practicing until you build mastery with them.
Self Discipline on the table
Practice putting down your folk between bites, it has been shown that the stomach takes about 20 minutes after a meal to inform the brain that it is full, but since many of us clear our plates in 10 minutes or less, the urge to eat more may build up prompting over consumption of calories, a situation that likely leads to weight gain.
Therefore, it's important that you give the stomach sufficient time to communicate with the brain by eating slowly. Once you take a bite, practice putting the cutlery on the table and use them again after the load on the mouth has been cleared.
Minimize Calorie loaded Fluid Intake
Health experts say that 30 per cent of calories consumed by Americans are in the form of liquids. Therefore, develop a habit of taking calorie free liquids if you feel the urge to drink something. Try to cut down on carbonated and fruit flavored beverages and see the change.
Another good weight loss tip is to stop eating when you feel full. These may sound hard but remember “practice makes perfect".
