Some
Handy Tips
For
Better Eating
1.
Eat more fruits and vegetables. Pick two cooked or
raw fruits or vegetables for each meal and one fruit
or vegetable with each snack. Eat them first. The
fiber in them will fill you up.
2.
Cut out (sodium) nitrates. Nitrates have been strongly
linked with cancer. They are usually found in many
types of processed meats. Look for nitrate free bacon,
sausages, hot dogs and deli meats. They are just as
tasty and better for you.
3.
Eat breakfast. The fact is, healthy people eat breakfast.
Skipping breakfast is linked to weight gain, bing
eating and obesity.
4.
Eliminate trans fats. There is a lot of tricks food
companies are using to fool you into thinking they
took out the trans fats. Read the ingredients. Look
for the words partially hydrogenated oil. If those
words in ingredients list, it has trans fats.
5.
Avoid high fructose corn syrup. This ingredient is
a double wammy. It is high in calories, like sugar
but, it doesn't trigger the body to feel full. This
is why many people can drink huge quantities of soda
with out feeling full. Regular sugar is even better
than high fructose corn syrup because sugar does make
the body feel full.
6.
Drink water. Get used to it. Water is the best drink
for you. Learn to like it plain or if you must, flavor
it yourself. Use a little lemon or just a slash of
juice. Too many flavored waters are actually filled
with artificial sweeteners, artificial flavors, sugar,
and other stuff you just do not need.
7.
Take a multivitamin. It can be hard to get all of
the vitamins and minerals you need in a day. A multivitamin
is the insurance that you are getting all that you
need.
8.
Eat whole grains. Now it easy to find waffles, breads,
crackers, baking mixes and even pastries made with
whole grains. Take advantage of that. Your body will
appreciate the extra fiber.
9.
Cut the sugar. Eating too much sugar is associated
with hardening of the arteries, diabetes and even
some types of cancers. Limit refined sugar to one
meal or snack a day. Also read labels and cut out
condiments, and other foods with added sugar in them.
10.
Sit down and eat at the table. Mindlessly eating in
front of the TV or worse, in your car is definitely
a recipe for disaster. Give your food the respect
and the attention it deserves.
These
simple tips will not only help you lose a few pounds,
you will feel better too.
