ODETA ROSE WHO IS A WELL-KNOWN FITNESS TRAINER IN AUSTRALIA SHARED
SOME VERY IMPORTANT AND EASY TO FOLLOW SOLUTIONS FOR LIVING A
HEALTHY LIFESTYLE.
1. EAT LOTS OF FRUIT AND VEGGIES
It is highly suggested that you eat at least five portions of different fruits
and vegetables every day. They should be fresh, canned, dried or juiced.
To get this five every day is easier than it sounds, you can just chop a
banana over your breakfast cereal or swap your usual mid-morning snack
for a piece of fresh fruit or you can opt for a portion of fresh, canned or
frozen fruit and vegetables which is also a better option. A portion of
dried fruit can also be a good way to maintain a better and healthy
lifestyle.
2. TAKE LESS SALT
Taking too much salt can lead to your blood pressure increases.
People with high blood pressure are likely to develop heart disease
or have a stroke. Even if you do not add salt to your food, you may
still be eating too much. About three-quarters of the salt you eat is
already in the food when you buy it, such as breakfast cereals,
soups, bread, and sauces.
3. ALWAYS TRY TO EAT CRUNCHY FOODS:
You should eat food that offer a big and satisfying crunch.
For example - apples, carrots, nuts and more, all these
foods tend to keep your mouth busy longer than the food
you slurp. And the more you chew, the slower you eat and
the more time your body has to register fullness this is
good as your body takes time to digest all these meals. This
is an advantage because the process is healthy and helps
in proper digestion of meals.
