Do you find yourself struggling with the little areas of eating healthy and exercising almost as much as with the big areas? I do too sometimes, so today this blog is dedicated to some short nutrition tips to keep in mind and help you along on your fitness journey!
- Learn to love water, fruits, and vegetables these are a necessity on your journey.
- Bring water with you everywhere! Don't worry if you don't drink it all, it's there when you want/need it
- Make at least half of your grains whole grains
- Add more vegetables to your day
- Drink your dairy, don't want those bones failing us now
- Limit your salt and sodium intake
- When you finish exercising have a recovery shake or healthy snack
- Don't count calories, count portions.
- Limit junk foods and sugary drinks. They taste great but are toxic to your body.
- Opt for a fruit instead of pre packaged food.
- Take the stairs. (this can be applied to more than one area of life) Hard work pays off!!
- Going out for lunch? Drink a couple glasses of water before you go and you will feel fuller not wanting to buy the whole menu.
- Last but not least, I struggle with late night snacking. If my daughter and I stay up and watch tv or craft something I start craving food late at night. Something that helps with this is having some water or a plain protein shake.
I know this isn't the longest blog I have ever made, but I felt it would benefit people to have something short and clear yet packed full of tips and ideas. So this week I challenge you to try at least 3-5 of these tips and see how well they work in your life. Don't be afraid to comment and let me know what you think!
