Healthy Life.
Of course, I am a girl and I don’t know one girl who doesn’t
struggle with their personal self image. Honestly though, this isn’t what this
is all about for me. I really want to get healthy and be in the best possibly
health and shape for my body. I want to make sure that what goes into my body
is healthy for me and isn’t causing problems in the long run. So I have been
really digging into this healthy living and if I want to be successful with it,
I know I can’t just wave a magic wand and do it over night. So this is my
personal plan and steps that I think will help me improve my health , inside
and out.!
-simplify- I am going to stop worrying about calories and
portion size, but be more worried about color, variety, and freshness. I know
that portion size is important, but moderation is key in that area.
-time- I am going to start slow and take a few things out of
my daily eating, like junk food. No more snacking on random stuff because it is
at my hands. I am going to start eating healthier options for the in between
meals. Nuts, fruits, and veggies.
-healthy plate- Harvard School of Public Health made a
diagram that helps best understand this healthy eating plate; less of the
unhealthy such as refined sugars and saturated fats, and more of the healthy
such as fruits, veggies, and protein. Olive/Canola Oil is replacement for
butter. I should be drinking more water, tea, and coffee with little or no
sugar. I should be eating whole grains and healthy protein. Fruits and Veggies;
the more the better and potatoes do not count.
-night eating- I am going to avoid eating late at night and
eat when my body is most active. Studies have shown that if you give yourself a
14-16 hour break from dinner to breakfast it helps regulate your digestive system
so that your body will regulate and help maintain your weight.
-smaller meals- I am already someone who eats smaller more
frequent meals, but I am going to make it a priority to eat a healthy breakfast
and then eat small healthy snacks between larger more sustainable meals.
I think these give things will help me get a kick start into
healthy living and I think they are great goals that will help me get into a
more healthy life style. If you want more information from the website that has
helped me out a lot, check it out.
