Healthy Eating and How to Stick to it

​When it comes to healthy eating, many people are happy to make the change but then struggle to maintain their good habits. Instead, they will eat healthily for a couple of weeks but gradually they start falling back into their old ways. Healthy eating takes sustained effort, but that doesn’t mean that it can’t be enjoyable too. So, with this in mind, let’s take a look at some of the ways that you can maintain a better diet.

Prepare More of Your Own Meals
 
If you prepare your own meals, you have total control of what goes into them. A major problem that people have is eating out too often, eating bigger portions of food that is high in fat and salt. If you do eat out, you should look for specific healthy restaurants or markets to keep your healthy eating regime on track. With so much advice online about preparing healthy meals, you have a range of dishes that you can try your hand at preparing.
 
Make the Right Changes
 
Rather than just cutting unhealthy foods out of your diet altogether, it is important that you start replacing them with healthier alternatives. For example, the switch from fried chicken to grilled salmon helps you make the move from trans fats to healthy fats. If you are used to snacking during the day, you should find better options that you can have at the same time of day. Feeling hungry all the time will make it less likely for you to maintain your resolve to eat healthier on a long-term basis.
 
Practice Mindful Eating
 
Mindful eating is a technique that people practice to stop themselves from eating too much. A lot of people eat while they are distracted by things like the TV or surfing the internet. Instead of this, you should focus on the act of eating while you are doing it. This way, you will be better able to determine when you are full and you will also enjoy your meals more. Also, you should focus on how you are feeling after you finish your meal. Junk food tends to make you feel uncomfortable and drained of energy, while healthier meals should have the opposite effect.
 
Drink Enough Water

A lot of people who want to eat better fail to drink enough water, which is a major mistake. Water plays a big role to cleaning your system out from toxins and other waste products. The shocking thing is that many people who suffer from headaches, low energy and tiredness are simply dehydrated. As well as this, thirst is often mistaken for hunger, so staying hydrated should help you significantly in your healthy eating quest.
 
Read the Labels
 
When you are shopping, rather than throwing anything into your basket, you should check out what the food actually contains by reading the label as some manufacturers have a habit of throwing in unexpected amounts of sugar and unhealthy fats. Try to focus on buying more fresh ingredients to avoid any nasty surprises.     ​
Exercise

With every good diet there should also be a good 
exercise program to go with it.

7 Simple Ways To Boost Your Wellbeing

Life is so busy. And when we’re busy, we’re more susceptible to feeling stressed and worn out. When you have a lot on your agenda, you might find yourself working through your jobs and to-dos without blinking an eye at how exhausted you feel. But in the long run, ignoring warning signs can often lead to burnout. Burning out can put you at rock bottom. So, to avoid that, you need to spend a bit more time thinking about the things you can do to relax, wind down and get your body and mind back on track. If you’re serious about de-stressing, here are seven simple ways you can boost your wellbeing.

Get Better Sleep

Although you may favor getting things done over this, it’s actually one of the most important points that could save you from burning out. Because good quality sleep is so important to your health. Not only does your body repair when you’re sleeping, but it also gives you energy and makes sure that your body can function properly.

Slow Down

You’re also going to want to think about slowing down just a little bit. When you’re running at a mile a minute to try and get things done, you’re probably also putting a lot of pressure on yourself. And with that, can come anxiety. If you want to beat anxiety, you’re going to need to learn to take it easy.

Drink More

If you want good levels of health and more energy, you have to stay hydrated. We all know that we should be drinking water, but do you take it seriously? Plus, when you’re drinking 2 liters of water each day, your skin will be more radiant, and you’ll also lose weight.

Be Social

If you’re the kind of person that always think they’re too busy to enjoy a social life, thing again. Everybody needs a healthy social life to keep them sane. Whether you meet your friends at your favorite Thai restaurant or head to the movies with your family, you need social interactions to help you relax and unwind.

Pamper Away

And then, of course, there’s always every girl’s favorite way to relax. Pampering may seem superficial and vain, but it can actually boost your wellbeing and self-esteem more than anything else. When you’re getting a facial or a massage, you’re taking time out and letting your body chill a bit.

Switch Off

In our modern world, we’re all too connected all of the time. But, it is important to switch your phone off and switch your mind off whenever you can - especially in the evenings. Whether you want to read more or spend quality time with loved ones, unplugging your devices will do a lot for boosting your wellbeing.

Eat Well

Whether you believe it or not, your diet can play a huge part in how you feel. Eating junk can be fun as a treat every now and again, but if you eat it regularly, you probably feel lethargic and run down. Instead, nourish your body with meats and vegetables so that you can boost your health and feel better.

Safety Guidelines

Essential oils are very highly concentrated and potent and it is important to always check the specific safety data provided. Keep out of reach of children, the elderly, and pets. 

Some oils may cause skin irritation in people with sensitive skin. It is recommended to perform a patch test before use. To patch test, place one drop on the back of your wrist and leave for an hour or more. If irritation or redness occurs wash the area with olive oil then cold water and do not use the oil.
