Here are some general dietary guidelines proposed by hellofood.rw that will help you achieve a good health.
\nLet\u2019s be honest you can\u2019t expect to do them all at once, but just like everything else good eating becomes a habit. Also don\u2019t expect to live your life by these rules every day \u2013 but the closer you get to following them the more your body will forgive you if you have a day off and a bit of a binge down the burger bar.<\/p>\n
\u2022\tStart each day with a cup of warm water (you can add lemon juice or fresh ginger if you desire) ;this helps get the digestive system moving and rids the body of waste and toxins
\n\u2022\tEat three meals a day, at regular times if possible and have breakfast by 10 am
\n\u2022\tSnacks are optional only eat them when you are hungry and don\u2019t confuse hunger for boredom. If you have eaten well at meal times snacks should not be needed. If you can miss out on snacks you will give your digestive system a well-earned rest
\n\u2022\tNever eat to the extent that you feel stuffed always stop eating before you feel full
\n\u2022\tDon\u2019t overdo the calories
\n\u2022\tEat fruit and\/or vegetables at every meal. Example:order from Simba.
\n\u2022\tMake the food on your plate as colorful as possible : this will ensure that you are taking in a broad range of not only vitamins and minerals by essential phytonutrients key in the prevention of disease
\n\u2022\tSome of these should be eaten raw every day : in the form of salads, juices, smoothies, vegetable crudit\u00e9s for example(The best one find it at Hero shop)
\n\u2022\tTwo-thirds of your plate at lunch and dinner should be vegetables with the remaining third lean protein, best way to get it you can order at Mickey mouse.
\n\u2022\tEat lean protein with every snack and meal (try Bistro, Magda and Pasha ) \u2013 a portion of protein should measure approximately the size of the palm of your hand
\n\u2022\tStarches (grains and potatoes) are optional at meal times but should be used in small portions
\n\u2022\tEat a variety of whole, natural, unprocessed foods (example: Bbrood) and try not to eat the same food every day. Try to prepare food from scratch to reduce the amount of preservatives and chemicals entering your body
\n\u2022\tBe aware of pesticides and other chemicals used in food production \u2013 read labels
\n\u2022\tReplace all white starches (bread, pasta, rice, bagels)(ex: Bbrood) with whole meal varieties
\n\u2022\tAvoid genetically modified foods
\n\u2022\tAvoid commercially processed foods as much as possible \u2013 remember low fat or low sugar labels mean \u201coverloaded with chemicals\u201d
\n\u2022\tChew your food
\n\u2022\tEat slowly and enjoy your food, sharing it with family and friends whenever possible
\n\u2022 Drink 1.5 liters if water a day \u2013 more it you are physically active. Filtered water is best.
\n\u2022 Try to stick to these guidelines as much as possible but don\u2019t become obsessive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
