Eating right for a healthy life
Few suggestions which we easily apply in our daily life are
as follows
Have
proper portions from all, vegetables, daals, Cereals, on your plate. This
decreases the high energy-dense intake and makes a balanced diet.
After
serving place the excess food away from your dining table, do not eat more just
to finish the stuff in bowl.
While
eating enjoy the food, avoid mobiles, TV or newspapers. Eat and relish every
portion to the fullest to satisfy satiety.
Eat
slowly and chew properly, helps in breaking down the food and digestion too.
This would limit your intake at cerebral levels, you would reach feeling of
fullness earlier.
Share
desserts and sweets to avoid overeating
Avoid
snacking at odd hours if you need to take salads, apples/fruits/ almonds
instead.
Before
going out you can avoid overeating by taking a healthy snack like yoghurt,
carrots, fruits. This helps in avoiding spicy oily and deep-fried food of
restaurants.
Many times the food portion at Restaurants are double what a person requires or
eat, take a container and get that packed as a takeaway.
Consult
a dietician / Doctor for your daily requirements, calorie intake, Do's and
Dont's
The goal of a healthy lifestyle is impossible unless we
also embrace physical activities, exercise, and having proper sleep.
