10 Simple Ways To Start Eating Healthier This Year 2022

Include Veggies and fruits.

Including fruits and vegetables in your diet is recommended by every dietician. You should eat five portions of a variety of fruit and vegetable a day.

Eating five a day is easier than you can imagine. Why not eat an apple on empty stomach in the early morning? Then chop a banana over your breakfast food or grab a fruit as a mid-day snack.

Have a glass of smoothie or fruit juice in the afternoon which also counts as one portion.

Eat more fish.

Fish is one of the healthiest food available on the earth. It is loaded with high-quality protein and contains many vitamins and minerals. Fatty species are considered the healthiest as it is packed with omega-3 acids which are important for a healthy brain and heart.

Cut down on sugary foods and drinks

Keeping a tab on how much sugar you are consuming on a daily basis is a first step in cutting down on sugary foods. Water is best, but if you are sugar addicted and want to start swapping sugary products and start drinking diet drinks instead of soda or sugary drinks. Avoid buying food items that include added sugar, natural sugar is fine to go with.

Avoid consuming more than 6g of salt a day

Salt contains sodium which is required by our body but too much sodium is not good for our health as it boosts up blood pressure and stresses the heart. Avoid purchasing processed food items and if you do buy then choose the one with the lowest amount of salt or in which sodium is equal to the calories per serving.

Never get thirsty

Drinking enough water is crucial for your body. So, it is important to stay hydrated all day. But before deciding to drink more water, first, understand your body’s fluid needs.

A common recommendation is to drink eight glasses of water per day but it is not scientifically suggested. Set a daily goal of water intake which will help you to drink more water. Always keep a reusable water bottle with you to keep reminding yourself to drink water throughout the day. You can also set reminders or alarms. When someone offers you a drink always prefer water.

Stop skipping breakfast

Breakfast is the main meal of our daily meals as it provides energy for the day. Make time for your breakfast, it is important to schedule it in your daily routine. Pre-decide your breakfast a day before. Only coffee is not a breakfast for anyone. Eat a healthy and hearty meal as your breakfast.

Count nutrients instead of calories

Most of us count calories instead of nutrients to lose weight. But you should focus on nutrients instead of calories. Choose foods that have nutrients proportionate to their energy content. Research also indicates that a nutrient-balanced diet wins over a calories-based diet.

Make smaller plates a part of your dining

Studies show that a simple way to healthy eating is eating on smaller plates. Eating on smaller plates makes us feel full by tricking our minds and avoiding overeating.

Keep your healthy food always available to you.

One reason why people prefer eating junk food over healthy food is easy to access. Junk food is always around us, in our fridges, outside our homes, and sometimes even in our bags like a packet of chips.

So, always keep your healthy food available to you to avoid junk food.

Include dry fruits in your diet.

Includes dry fruits in your daily diet by eating them as snacks or including them in cooking various dishes. The dry fruits are small, you can carry them anywhere with you and eat them anytime to satisfy your hunger.
