Your body
is a machine, and for it to be a well-oiled one you need to put the right kinds of fuel into it. Eating right is more than just something your mother said. It can make a huge difference in your ability to get fit, stay fit and be as healthy as you can.
Instructions
1. Hydrate. Water is extremely important. If you are thirsty, your body is already dehydrated. Keep a water bottle around and full all the time so you are more inclined to drink from it all day. Water will cleanse your system and flush out impurities.
2. Eat small meals more often. Instead of three huge meals, with the largest being the last, eat three smaller meals with healthy snacks in between, such as veggies or a handful of nuts, and don't make the last meal the largest. Give your body time to digest.
3. Limit your alcohol intake. As unpopular as this one may be, it's important for your body not to have to be filtering out alcohol. A glass of wine or a beer is one thing. Three martinis and a Jack Daniels and Coke... perhaps not so good.
4. Eat foods from the outside aisle of the grocery store. In other words, the less processed the better. The more unpronounceable things in that ingredient list there are, the worse for you the food probably is!
5. Keep your carbohydrate intake to whole grains as much as possible. Whole grain pasta, breads and brown rice are much healthier for you and easier for your body to digest and utilize than anything white.
