Sometimes, saying you’re going to eat healthier and exercise is just a way to make yourself feel better. But when your friend comes to you and mentions going to the gym, you really want to crawl back into your bed and hope they go away. Eating healthy and completing regular exercise requires a lot of determination and commitment that you just won't have if you’re not one hundred percent focused on your end goal. Even if you don’t want or need to lose weight, you still need to think about your eating habits.
Stop Saying No To H20
Ideally, you should be drinking about 2 litres of water everyday. Now, you might say that doesn’t seem manageable and yet it’s what our bodies are asking us for. Some people can drink lots of orange juice or coke which are full of sugars and when it comes to water will simply decline. This is something that you need to stop. Water is one of the most essential parts of your diet. It is a far better hydrator than drinks packed with sugar, while also having no calories meaning it is always the healthier option. Keeping yourself hydrated is not only good for your body’s functions but also for your skin. Remember, hydrated skin is happy skin.
Lean Meats Are Your Friend
As we all know, meats are a great source of protein. While you can get it from other foods such as nuts, meat has always been one of the best sources for protein. Lean meats like turkey and chicken can be very good for you. Due to the lack of fat in these meats, it makes them the perfect source of hitting your protein goal while remaining well under your fat limit. This makes them better for you than things like pork chops or a piece of steak. While these two meats are not bad for you in moderation, if you continuously eat high amounts of fat it could result in you having oily skin. However, to ensure that you aren’t hacking away at your meat when you’re cutting it, check out a website like Cut It Fine to help you keep your knives in tip-top condition. Otherwise, you might find that having lean meats is also a fantastic workout and keeps your muscles lean too!
Your Apple-Tite
Eating fruit and vegetables is essential maintaining a healthy lifestyle. You can get the crucial vitamins and minerals you need from them, meaning you really should be trying to get in your 5 a day. So, next time you’re hungry and thinking about that Cadbury’s bar in the fridge, ask yourself if you’re hungry enough to eat an apple. If the answer is no, you probably shouldn’t eat anything because you’re not as hungry as you might think. Alternately, if the answer is yes, then go and get a healthy snack. While there is nothing wrong with indulging in a bit of chocolate here and there, eating it instead of your fruit and veg is not helping your body fuel itself. You might find that if you aren’t eating your vegetables and rather opt for the donuts, your skin will break out from the sugar intake and your mood may drop a couple of hours after eating them.
We hope that now you’ll see that your eating habits can impact your skin and mood as well as your day to day bodily functions. Change it up and stop reaching for that slice of pizza or that bar of chocolate. Instead, try some new fruits and expand your palette!
