How to eat healthier
We all know that in order to live a healthier lifestyle we need to eat healthier, but it is not always easy to know where to start. Here are 3 basic ways to make your eating habits healthier:
Cut out (or reduce) processed foods and sugars:
Both processed foods and bad sugars (view my post on sugar here) hold no nutrients for your body and only fuels it with harmful things. The best way to cut these out is to replace them with vegetables and fruits. This is the best way to start eating healthier.
Do you have a sweet tooth and struggle to stay away from chocolate?
Eating sweet fruits such as berries and natural dark chocolate will fuel your body and at the same time satisfy your sweet tooth.
Don't like the taste of greens (such as lettuce, spinach and kale)?
Put greens into your favourite smoothie - you will get the nutrients and not even taste it. A favourite of mine is a handful of greens, 1 banana, a splash of milk and a teaspoon of vanilla essence. It is delicious, tastes exactly like a normal banana smoothie, is quick to make and is so good for my body. It also helps keep my blood sugar levels up for the day and juicing/blending the greens makes it easier to digest, giving my gut a break.
Eat more fruits and vegetables:
Fruits and vegetables (fresh and frozen) are loaded with vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants. Fruits and vegetables have many benefits that improve you everyday health. Besides replacing your processed foods and sugars with fruits and vegetables, another way to incorporate more into your diet is by adding it to your everyday foods:
