Four Points For Your Diet

Today, in this discussion, I would like to recommend some positive diet practices for your better health. I suggest those tips, because I found them amazing with extraordinary results as long as I follow them. If you are already suffering from any kind of health issues or going through some kind of treatments, consult with your doctor before you jump into this supplementary diet practice.

I cannot say that this is a complete expert plan for your eating habits from today. I consider this as a parallel awareness to keep you alert whenever and wherever you think about picking up something to eat; so that, this will control your food cravings intelligently and your diet behaviours smartly. This restrained behaviour is initially inculcated consciously, and gradually developed to the level of an unconscious practice preventing you from poor choices of food even without your deliberate thinking about them. Don't be disheartened when you fail to follow these four tips during your early days of practice; because they are not unbreakable rules of your eating, but some supplementary information to keep you cautious about your intake of food. Hence, failing and starting over again is perfectly alright for a lifelong in this attempt.

1. No Sugar & No Oil

We normally get the required amount of sugar and oil from our regular food intake. So, avoid noxiously adding sugar and oil of any kind in your food recipes to increase taste and to feel satisfaction. Learn to cook and to enjoy your food without using those slow killers of your health. Use them only when they are inevitable, like adding sugar for halwa and spreading oil for dosa. Again, you have the option to avoid or minimise your eating of such food items that contain sugar or oil.

2. Low Fat & Low Carb

When we consider the list of food we eat, especially in a modern lifestyle, many of them are rich with various kinds of fat and carbohydrates more than required for our healthy living. I admit that they are versatile in making scenarios as well as in satisfying our taste buds. When it becomes habitual, our body reacts negatively in the forms of weaknesses and sicknesses of varied kinds. At the same time, they are necessary for our body to retain energy and cannot be avoided fully from our daily diet plans. But, have them in your control.

3. More Fiber & More Protein

When we minimize fat and carbs, something else must be added to balance our diet; so, we must have a fiber and protein rich menu for our meals. It is you who wisely chooses your items based on your need, taste and availability of them. Whenever you tend to eat more, think about fibre and protein instead of fat and carbs. There lies the key of healthy balance.

4. Lot Water & Lot Green

Ideally, there is no limit for your water intake but practically there is. Understand yours and practice. I take from 2 to 3 litres of water daily apart from other forms of fluids like juice, coffee or milk once or twice a day. Avoid soft and alcoholic drinks in your best possible manner. Yet, I am not against you enjoying them very occasionally, because life needs some booze too. Include a lot and a variety of organically grown vegetables and fruits in your diet when you eat. That's more than enough to remain healthy today.

I did not mention any vitamins or minerals, because they are naturally consumed when you systematically follow my four points detailed above. If not, go for required supplements under the guidance of your dietitian or physician. Add adequate time of rest and appropriate amount of exercise in your daily plan, if you are committed to keep yourself fit and energetic, apart from my four points of diet. Whether you are a vegetarian or non vegetarian is not at all an intelligent concern for your healthy living, because both of them have lived longer and happier lives.
