In a world where people can get almost anything instantly,
sometimes it is hard to balance a healthy diet and exercise regime with
the demands of a career and family. Fortunately, health and weight loss
may be easier than you think.
Eating less processed foods, and more whole foods that are not tampered with in any way, have more than just your usual vitamin and mineral benefits. Trading in fast food meals for vegetables and fruits can not only aid in weight loss, but they can also help with a number of medical issues: such as acne, digestive problems, headaches, and a reduced risk of heart disease.
Fruits and vegetables have a wide range of benefits, such as naturally occurring fiber, vitamins, proteins, and the ability to naturally detoxify your body. These foods are also naturally occurring in nature, and it is no small wonder that they are also easier for the body to digest. Obviously, this is not a suggestion to eat fruits and vegetables alone, however, if weight loss is the goal, fruits and greens can definitely help. Try trading in one item from the pantry a day for something perishable that was made by nature and not by man. You will reap the benefits in no time.
Often times, the word 'healthy' is misused in grocery stores today. By creating a food in a lab, removing the fat, and adding more flavor, many foods are packaged as weight loss items and are sold as health foods. The real health foods are not found in a box or a freezer, but in the produce section. If the thought of eating more plain fruits and vegetables make you want to stab your eyeballs out, get creative! Try replacing pasta with thinly sliced zucchini, make some new salad variations, use a lettuce wrap filled with a veggie stir fry. Have a sweet tooth? No problem.
Blend some of your favorite frozen fruits together with a little bit of honey, and voila! You can have a healthy sorbet dessert in no time. The options are endless. By trying different flavor combinations, consuming more live foods doesn't have to be a chore. In fact, when you eat more of them, you will begin to crave them over your old diet choices. The best side effect of adopting this new eating habit? You may lose a few pounds without even trying, and at the very least, you will reap the health benefits.
