Top 10 healthy lifestyle tips

1. Balance blood sugar levels – avoid stimulants and sugar.
2. Eat natural and whole food – avoid over processed food.
3. After 3pm, make veggies your carbs – have oatmeal, rye bread, brow rice, sweet potatoes, fruit, and quinoa early in the day and salads and steamed vegetables later
4. Eat good fat, especially Omega-3-rich food.
5. Keep your dinner lean – protein and greens.
6. Eat balanced snacks and meals. Eating wholesome carbs, protein and fat at every meal keeps blood sugar levels from spiking and crashing. This controls energy levels and keeps cravings at bay.
7. Eat & drink food for the soul – in moderation.
8. Drink water. Stay away from chemical and artificial drinks.
9. Sleep for at least 7 – 8 hours every night.
10. Focus on resistance training 3-4 times a week.

 

 

 

Top eating guidelines for a healthy lifestyle:

• Never mix a protein and starch. Have starch with vegetables or protein with vegetables.

• Wait at least four hours between meals

• One fruit at a time and avoid fruit salad as this causes bloating.

• All food must be fresh, not pre-packed.

• Always use cold-pressed olive oil.

• Keep your evening meal light.

• Have a treat once a week only.

• Reduce salt intake and use fresh herbs to season food.

• Buy organic or free range milk and animal products.

• Use parsley, it’s a blood purifier and helps eliminate water.

• Vegetable juices are great - have at least one a day.

• Snack on raw unsalted nuts or seeds with fruit.

• Cook with fresh herbs or add them to food.
