Everyone has a different idea of what healthy eating means. Some think it’s all about eating salad and only drinking water. Others think that healthy eating means making gigantic sacrifices in your life that amount to starvation. For me, eating healthy means:
“You only get one chance in life. It makes more sense to increase your chances of living longer rather than decreasing your chances of living longer. Eating healthy means you have taken the initiative to be there for your loved ones longer. Heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol have all happened at some point, and you refuse to take chances. Healthy eating means having self-will, self-esteem, confidence, and a desire to look and feel your best every single day. You understand your bank statement, so you should understand words like sodium, fat, and sugar. Start now.”
Simple ways to start eating healthier today:
* Reverse your ratio of vegetarian to non-vegetarian.Eat more veggies and less of the other stuff — that other stuff is what gives you the love handles. Meat is high in sodium and fat, so eat less of it.
* butter away. When you order make sure they make your meal without butter. Most restaurants use butter to flavor dishes that have been outside for a while.
* Use milk instead of cream in your coffee.
* Rinse out all your canned goods before you eat them. It washes the sodium off them!
* Learn more about food labels.Reducing fat, sodium and sugar is crucial to living a healthier life.
