Obesity is a growing concern in the United States. It seems that every grocery and convenience store is stockpiled with artery-clogging goodness. The next time you walk into a Wal-Mart or Publix, observe how much of the food is candy, soda, chips etc. Trying to eat healthier may seem too daunting to try. Luckily, from experience and the internet, there are simple steps you can utilize to start consuming a healthy diet.
Step 1: Eat yogurt
Yogurt comes in many flavors and can be cheap when they go BOGO at Publix. Yogurt helps improve your immune system and keeps your blood sugar under control, according to dailysabah.com. In addition, Fitness Magazine claims that yogurt is packed with vitamins and helps you slim down after binge-eating during the holidays.
Step 2: Eat an apple everyday
The phrase “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” holds as much truth now as it did when you were a child. Some of benefits of eating apples include reducing the chances of Alzheimer’s disease and cancer, maintaining immune system, and keeping your weight in check. If you need something easy to fill you up, apples are a great source to go to. They contain fiber, making it easier to poop. For more in-depth info on apples, click on the Best Health Magazine website link.
Step 3: Reduce portion size
The Huffington Post states that meal sizes served in restaurants are “four times” bigger than they were half a century ago. Your stomach has to put that bulk of junk somewhere, so it becomes fat. Thanks to Steadystrength.com, you can reduce your intake by purchasing smaller plates and eating more slowly, savoring your hard-earned meal. Drinking water can also help fill you up.
