Table of Contents
1. Regularity, hours and number of meals
It is important that the first meal is eaten within an hour of waking up and the time to eat the remaining meals is shifted accordingly. There are also situations where these meals may be more or less in women with gestational diabetes and people with type 1 diabetes.2. Water and other liquids
It is best to drink water in smaller portions throughout the day before a strong craving occurs. To check that the body has been supplied with enough mineral water, you should pay attention to the color of the urine discharged. Demand for water varies depending on the sex, age, physical condition, physical activity, climate and composition of the body. Such water should be supplied to the body every day. If you reach for mineral water that will also supply the body with mineral water. Other fluids, such as salty vegetables, salty juices and less salty fruit juices, can also be obtained from sugar-sweetened products.3. Sugar or candy
It'll be a healthier substitute for a baton or a high-sugar cookie. There's a lot of more or less natural sweets on the market. Both sugar and sweets deliver a large number of kilocalories to the body, but they don't cause satiety, and often after eating something sweet, there's hunger. The sugar added to coffee or tea should be excluded from the diet, minimized, or replaced with sweets. It's worth reaching for xylitol, which has about 30% less calories than a regular beverage, and additionally has poly- and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as erythritol and stevia, which have a glycemic index of 0 to 10 and therefore have a high fat content, and some people with diabetes have a higher fat content.4. Salt and other spices
Salt should be substituted with other aromatic spices. The easier it is, the better. Spices such as garlic, pepper, sweet peppers, oyster peppers and cassava, basil, oregano are available in stores. Excess salt in the diet is harmful to health and can lead to high blood pressure, stroke or stroke. They can be fresh or dried herbs, not necessarily ready mixtures, because very often they have salt or the addition of sodium glutamine, a flavor enhancer, in the first place. It is worth experimenting with them in the kitchen and not being afraid of new flavors because they can turn out to be exceptional.5. Not wasting food
Additionally, it is worth planning the times when meals will be prepared this will help to better organize the day and stick to the plan. If a dish or product cannot be used in the near future, it can be frozen and used later. Once a meal plan for a few days has been prepared, it's worth adding a shopping list to it, of course after pre-checking cabinets, refrigerators and freezers so that the products don't double. It's also a good idea to cook (especially lunches) for 2 days because it will save time.6. Sleep and physical activity
It's important to choose the kind of activity that's enjoyable. The optimal amount of sleep is 6 to 9 hours. A holistic approach is important, which means paying attention not only to what's on the plate, but also to other aspects of your life, including sleep and physical activity. Sleep is also very important, both its length and quality. It is also important to wake up asleep, because then your body tells you that you've regenerated during sleep and are ready to act on a new day.7. Can a healthy diet be harmful?
Worse, a diet rich in too much dietary fiber can seriously harm people with liver disease, after removing a gallbladder, or with chronic pancreatitis, which is why an individual approach is so important. You can't change your whole life in a short time, but you can make one change. It's not easy, it takes time and effort, but the satisfaction of achieving your goal of improving your well-being and health will be invaluable.
