25.01.2022 As we head into the Easter break, most of us put diets and healthy eating aside to enjoy some (or lots of) treats. Once you've had your indulgence, it's time to get back to healthy eating. Rather than put a focus on eating less, make simple changes to your eating behaviour and you'll see some positive results. Simple techqniues like putting down your fork between bites and drinking water before you eat. See the changes. https://www.livestrong.com//13724677-how-to-train-yourse/
22.01.2022 We all struggle a times, but te simple truth is that the simplest and most effective way to eat healthy is to focus on real foods the majority of the time. Choose unprocessed, whole foods that resemble what they looked like in nature. It’s best to eat a combination of animals and plants meat, fish, eggs, vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, as well as healthy fats, oils and high-fat dairy products.... If you’re healthy, lean and active, eating whole, unrefined carbs is absolutely fine. These include potatoes, sweet potatoes, legumes and whole grains such as oats. However, if you’re overweight, obese or have shown signs of metabolic issues such as diabetes or metabolic syndrome, then cutting back on major carbohydrate sources can lead to dramatic improvements. People can often lose a lot of weight simply by cutting back on carbohydrates because they subconsciously start eating less. Whatever you do, make an effort to choose whole, unprocessed foods instead of foods that look like they were made in a factory.

16.01.2022 DIET MISTAKES & MYTHS 6 6. Only using the scale to track your progress. I'm not anti-scale, but I do think we put too much emphasis on it. As a result, we allow the scale to dictate if we feel like we are making progress or not. For a lot of people, it can be more self-defeating than positive reinforcement. And most importantly, it doesn't necessarily show the personal growth or the healthy behaviors that you're actually adopting. Plus, most people who are trying to lose wei...ght are working out. Most of them are gaining muscle, especially if they're doing any strength-based workouts. When we're building muscle, we are going to see a higher number on the scale or that number stay stagnant, which could be discouraging for some I'm not saying you should never weigh yourself, but I would recommend paying attention to another marker of progress that's less emotionally fraught, as well. For example, you could notice how a pair of pants fit over time, or how much energy you have to gauge how things are going. See more

13.01.2022 6 Tips to get more sleep! 1. Stick to a sleep schedule by going to bed and waking up at the same time every day. This will help you nod off quickly and easily, while also supporting your overall health, Twery says. 2. Skip caffeine in the afternoon. "Drinking caffeinated beverages all day is the most common source of a sleep disorder," Twery says.... 3. If you're on any medications, talk to your doctor about whether they might be interfering with your sleep. Twery says meds are another frequent culprit of sleep issues. Wondering whether any of the prescription or over-the-counter drugs you take could be causing you to toss and turn? This list from the National Sleep Foundation is a good starting place. 4. Make sure your bedroom is dark, quiet, cool and screen-free. 5. Get plenty of sunlight particularly in the morning. "Sunshine is a powerful tool to regulate our circadian rhythm so that our body is getting the wake and sleep signals we need," Twery says. 6. Avoid alcohol and large meals close to bedtime these can interrupt your slumber.
07.01.2022 Following a healthy lifestyle often seems incredibly complicated. Advertisements and experts all around you seem to give conflicting advice. However, leading a healthy life doesn’t need to be complicated. Start simply by choosing healthier options, getting more exercise and breathing deeply whenever you're feeling stressed. Remember, being healthy is a marathon, not a sprint. It takes time and you need to stick with it for life.

06.01.2022 DIET MISTAKES & MYTHS - 7 7. Not giving yourself permission to eat what you want. Hunger isn't the only reason to eat. I truly believe in giving yourself permission to eat in all scenarios so that you can be the expert of your own body. For instance, let's say you "don't eat cookies". But you're at this party, and the cookies smell really good, everybody else is eating them, and you want to have a cookie. What would happen if you gave yourself endless permission to eat a cook...ie today, tomorrow, and the next day? Suddenly, the cookie stops being a "treat" or a "cheat". It's just a cookie, and you're able to really evaluate how good it tastes and how much of it you want to eatwithout worrying that you won't be able to have another cookie ever again, so you might as well eat as many as you can. When you think about food this way, you can really stay true to the process rather than getting caught up in the story that you're telling yourself.
