Top Ten Tips to Stay Fit and Healthy!

Top Ten Tips to Stay Fit and Healthy!

We usually think or ask about the best way to lose weight (fat).

The answer is very simple: Eat nutritious food at the right time and in a proper way.

This is very difficult to do in our fast-paced society. But properly nourishing to our body is the key to increased energy, reduced body fat, a healthier look and an elevated immune system.

Here are top ten tips to nourish our body and keep it functioning at optimum levels. 

1. Focus on improving our eating habits rather than participating in restrictive diets. Always keep in mind that what you eat and drink has a direct impact on how you look, feel and perform.

Buy Fruits and Vegetables not junk food

2. Go to the grocery store at least once a week to buy some fruits, vegetables and nourishing food. Leave the junk food on the shelves, because what you buy, you will eat. Also, don’t buy the junk food for our kids, spouse or relatives. They don’t need it either. 

3. Try to focus on fueling our body with nourishing food rather than filling our belly with empty, sugar-loaded calories. Our body is a wonderful machine that needs nourishing food to function at optimal levels.

4. Try to eliminate casual calories that often contain no nutritional value. They include: soda, juices, candy, energy drinks and triple mocha caramel double fudge latte coffees. Remember, consuming too many calories will cause you to gain weight. It doesn’t matter if these calories come from foods or drinks.

 

5. Don’t fall victim to diet and weight-loss marketing professionals. Carbohydrates do not make you fat. Protein does not make you fat. Fat does not make you fat. Consuming more calories than our body burns will cause you to gain weight. It’s that simple.

Eat Small amount 5-6 times a day

 6. Eat smaller portions more frequently throughout the day to help keep our blood sugar levels stable. Stabilized blood sugar levels not only help increase energy; they also will help you burn unnecessary body fat. Try to include some carbohydrates, protein and fat in each meal. 

7. When eating fast food or dining out, try to order a meal that contains some carbohydrates, protein and fat. Always keep in mind that the chef does not care if you are overweight or unhealthy. Order food with our health and fitness in mind. 

8. Try to eliminate all deep-fried foods. They are loaded with trans-fatty acids. And yes, this includes French fries. I know they taste good, but they have a negative impact on how you look and feel.

9. Read food labels. Not all brands are equal and the manufacturers do not care if you are overweight or unhealthy. For example, some items are labelled “fat free,” yet if you read the food label you will see that the product contains “mono and diglycerides”. This is fat! Also, try to limit foods that contain “hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils” as these oils can contribute to heart disease. 

Pasta not good source of Carbs

10. Try to limit our intake of breads, potatoes and pastas (these are not the best source of carbohydrates) and replace them with fruits and vegetables that will nourish our body with valuable nutrients. Fruits and vegetables also help to slow the aging process and boost our body’s immune system.

Caution: Fat is Always injurious to health, burn our Fat and stay healthy!!
