Try to Keep Your Blood Sugar Constant
Were you aware that a sudden drop in blood sugar levels will cause us to crave processed foods such as sweets? The best way to embrace a healthy lifestyle is to eat every few hours and to abstain from fast-absorbing carbohydrates. This is why many nutrition specialists recommend eating five smaller meals each day.
Eating More as Opposed to Less
While this might seem counter-intuitive, those who eat less will be plagued with a slower metabolism. This inevitably causes the body to store excess fats, leading to weight gain over time (particularly around the midsection). While eating more can avoid this situation, never forget that the key to health is the ability to consume the right types of foods while avoiding unhealthy temptations.
The All-Natural Sweet Tooth
One of the main downfalls of a healthy lifestyle is the presence of processed foods and artificial sweeteners. If you happen to have an insatiable sweet tooth, why not choose the all-natural route? Purchase fresh or frozen fruits as treats in favour of substances that are known to contain high levels of processed sugar. Not only is this a tasty alternative, but your body will thank you for such a choice in the long run.
All About Training Intensity
What About Liquids?
While most nutrition professionals recommend an intake of between two and three litres of fluids per day, this should be increased to between four and five during the warmer months of the year. Also, never forget to drink plenty of fluids while training! As always, water is the best option and try to avoid sugar-laden drinks.
