Welcome to Xtra Mile Fitness! Today, we’re talking about how to eat healthily in a simple way. Eating healthy doesn’t have to be difficult or confusing. We’re here to break it down for you.
Start with Real Foods
Real foods are those that are as close to their natural state as possible. Think fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and lean proteins. They are packed with nutrients that your body needs to stay healthy.
Why Choose Real Foods?
– **Nutrients:** They provide vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
– **Energy:** They give you the energy to stay active.
– **Health:** They help keep your body strong and prevent diseases.
Drink Plenty of Water
Water is essential for your body. It keeps you hydrated and helps with digestion. Try to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day to stay healthy.
Tips to Drink More Water
– Carry a water bottle with you.
– Add slices of lemon or cucumber to your water for flavor.
– Drink a glass of water before each meal.
Watch Your Portions
Eating too much can lead to weight gain. It’s important to pay attention to the amount of food you eat. Use smaller plates and take your time to enjoy your meal.
How to Control Portions
– Serve smaller amounts of food.
– Eat slowly and stop when you’re full.
