WANT TO STAY HEALTHY? KNOW THE SECRETS OF HEALTHY LIFE.
“Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys of a healthy body, but it is also the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity.” – John F. Kennedy
Being fit is the new hit these days. It is no longer only about a sound and healthy body but also about a flauntable shape and physique. Getting fit has become a challenge and no wonder you’re here to look for a ray of hope in this direction. You must have been admiring your favorite film stars with ripped bodies and well-exposed abs.
There is also a chance that you have been going to fitness parks and grounds and have seen the speed and stamina which the apparently-fit people have while sprinting. You would also admit that you’ve tried to do the same, rushed your body for a sprint on the roads in early and cold mornings or hurt your body by lifting heavy weights at the gym or you have tried all the protein bars to get in shape. Did it work? No! Then what does it take to get that perfect body that you have been admiring for so long?
Let the mystery behind fitness unfold. No, it is not steroids. It is an appropriate diet. Now you don’t have to worry about consulting an expensive dietician. Let us open the doors of fitness for you through this article. Recall your school lessons when you were taught the benefits of having a balanced diet! No matter how much you decide to work out, you will not reach your ultimate goal unless you adopt a healthy diet regime. For an effective workout, your body will be energized with a good diet. A well-balanced diet works as fuel for your body not just for a strenuous workout but also for doing routine things like catching a bus!
HERE ARE 5 dietitian TIPS THAT CAN HELP YOU GET THE MAGICAL BODY OF YOUR DREAMS:
A SWEET ‘NO’ TO SUGAR:
Of course, you are a fan of cupcakes or chocolate truffles with your favorite dark chocolate bar on it, then you need to review what you are putting into your stomach. Science calls eating sugar as putting slow poison into your body. Build a habit of avoiding sugar-containing foods and also avoid adding it to tea and coffee. Believe us, you will not only be fit but will also feel good about your body.
LET THE PROTEINS RULE:
Proteins are essential! If you are a non-vegetarian, then you have a great advantage. Most of the protein requirements of your body will be taken care of by the intake of meat. They are excellent sources of proteins. And if you are a veggie, you need not worry! There are good sources of proteins a typical vegetarian diet can provide you. Binge upon yogurt, curd, peanut butter, spinach and the daily cooked “daal” (lentils) and you are good to go!
ADD THE CARBS:
In addition to the proteins in your diet, we say to add the carbs well! No, we are not telling you to increase the intake of unhealthy food like pizzas or burgers. We are just stressing upon the need to add up energy giving fruits, oatmeal, porridge and sweet potatoes in your diet. They boost your energy to work out a little beyond your limits to get that much-coveted John Abraham or Angelina Jolie body. An apple a day also keeps the doctor away. Heard it a lot? It is true. You can also have coffee for instant energy.
EAT AND TRAIN:
You might know that athletes eat hard and train even harder. You might not be an athlete, but you have to believe that a little bit of training and exercise is necessary for you! Well, eat all you can if you live to eat but don’t forget to work out a little. And say a firm no to dieting! Starving and exercising lands you nowhere but a hospital. Resolve to eat home and freshly cooked meals. Avoid junk food if you can help it. But in days you can’t, try not to overeat junk food.
CALORIE BALANCE:
While shopping, keep a check on the labels you find on food packages before you put them in your trolley. Avoid food items that are high in cholesterol levels or are high in sugar. Check the calories it contains per grams. Shelling out money without checking the nutritional quality of food can actually do more harm than good, so be careful!
The secret to a fitter you is a balance of a healthy diet and workout training. Now you know!
