3 Solid Tips for Better Nutrition - 3rd Week

By Genevieve Cunningham

Eating a well-balanced diet sounds easy. All you have to do is eat fruit and veggies and chicken, right? In practice, it’s a bit more difficult than that. There are too many temptations steering us off track. Cookies and chips and fast food … sometimes they just seem too delicious to pass up. But, if you want to live a healthy life, a solid nutrition is critical. To get you moving on the right path, check out these timeless tips for balancing your diet.

More Water, Less Soda

This one is really tough for those who drink lots of soda or tea or juice. These popular drinks provide you with a blast of flavor, maybe some caffeine, and a dose of sugar to get you through the rest of the day. In comparison, water seems boring, but water is also one of the best ways to clean up your diet. It hydrates your body, flushes out toxins, empties fat cells, clears skin, and brings many other benefits to your health. While it will take some getting used to, it’s worth the effort. Drink more water every day, and you’re halfway to a better diet already.

Snack on Plants

Everyone snacks, and enjoying snacks can even be healthy for you if you do it the right way. To clean up your snacking practices, go for things that are plant based. Steer clear of anything processed, sugary, or extra salty. Vegetables, fruit, and even nuts can be a healthy means of getting in a snack. Low calories, plenty of nutrients, and still delicious … stick to plants as snacks to improve your diet easily.

Take Your Time

It takes a few minutes for your stomach to tell your brain that it’s full. When you eat too quickly, it’s easy to overindulge. With each meal and snack, take your time. Even if you think you’re taking plenty of time, slow down and go just a little slower. Chew your food thoroughly, drink a sip of water in between bites, and give your stomach time to catch up. This will help you eat fewer calories, which might help you maintain a healthier weight in the long run.

Eating a healthy and well-balanced diet is necessary for your own health and wellness. Even if you’re a workout fanatic, your diet reigns king. Use these tips to get a handle on your diet and improve your overall health starting today and lasting your lifetime.
