1. Don’t drink sugar calories: Sugary drinks are among the most fattening
items we can put into our body. This is because our brain doesn’t measure
calories from liquid sugar the same way it does for solid food. Therefore, when
we drink soda, we end up eating more total calories. Sugary drinks are strongly
associated with obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and many other health
problems. Keep in mind that certain fruit juices may be almost as bad as soda
in this regard, as they sometimes contain just as much sugar. Their small
amounts of antioxidants do not negate the sugar’s harmful effects.
2. Eat nuts: In spite of being high in fat, nuts are
unbelievably nutritious and solid. They’re loaded with magnesium, vitamin E,
fiber, and various other nutrients. Nuts can help we lose weight and may help
fight type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Additionally, our body doesn’t absorb
10–15% of the calories in nuts. Some evidence also suggests that this food can
boost metabolism. Almonds were shown to increase weight loss by 62%, compared
with complex carbs.
3. Avoid processed junk food (eat real food
instead): Junk food is incredibly unhealthy. These
foods have been engineered to trigger our pleasure centers, so they trick our
brain into overeating — even promoting food addiction in some people. They’re
usually low in fiber, protein, and micronutrients but high in unhealthy
ingredients like added sugar and refined grains. Thus, they provide mostly
empty calories.
4. Don’t fear coffee: Coffee is very healthy. It’s high in
antioxidants, and studies have linked coffee intake to longevity and a reduced
risk of type 2 diabetes, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases, and numerous
other illnesses.
