New year means new promise. Promise to leave the old bad habit and get involved in a new good habit. And there is no better time for that than January. There is no substitute for healthy living. In the new year, new eating habits can bring positive changes in the way of life. Some small changes make a big difference. You can make some simple rules like that a habit. These five simple eating habits will make your life much healthier.
1. One part protein, one part sugar, two parts vegetables
Detoxin and low carb diets are very popular not only in Bangladesh but all over the world. However, numerous studies have shown that neither of these two diets is actually as effective. Although ‘temporarily effective’, it is not sustainable. Include foods that usually make you want to eat them. Eat fresh food instead. Eat three meals a day. Divide the plate of food into four parts at a time. Put the protein in one portion. Sugars in another part. The other two parts will be vegetables. Rosemary Ferguson, a regular contributor to Vogue UK magazine and a nutritionist, offers this advice.
2. Don’t be tempted to change too much in a short time
It is not right to make a big change in eating habits suddenly, thinks nutritionist Eve Kalinik. “Don’t be tempted to change too much in a short time,” he said. It declares war on the body’s metabolism. And many times the body’s normal metabolism system can break down and have a negative effect. So whatever you do, do it regularly. Do it for at least a year. If you start something, you will finish it according to the rules.
3. Let the food plate be colorful
Eat fibrous foods. Eat more fruits and vegetables. Choose fruits and vegetables of different colors for each day. Make your plate colorful with a variety of vegetables, fruits and salads.
4. One meal per season
Demand for this specialty has grown significantly as a result of recent corporate scandals. Eat more hot salads made with milkshakes, smoothies, juices and more. Eat soup of different flavors in winter.
5. Increase movement
It is not directly associated with eating though. But there is no substitute for walking at least half an hour every day. It controls blood sugar levels and the hormone leptin. As a result, we do not get as hungry as we need. A little walking will not only keep the muscles of the body healthy, but also the hormones will be under control.
