Health And Diet Tips

We all strive to achieve to be a better us, to maintain a healthy diet and weight but we all have are faltering point wether it be are favorite junk food to our inconsistent working out routines. Here are some tips to maintain a healthy diet in our hectic world.

First watch what you are taking in, our consumption of high-fructose corn syrup has increased 250 percent over the past 15 years. Estimates indicate that we consume about 13 percent of our daily calories in the form of fructose.
High-fructose corn syrup is an addictive substance and if you look back through our history in America when corn syrup was introduced it parallel the line of obesity. Our bodies burn glucose as a source of immediate energy, and store it in our muscles and our livers for later use. 
High-fructose corn syrup is not just in pop and in high sugary foods but its in places you wouldn't even think, its in bread, meats, fruit drinks and soups often even caned-products, ect.
Speaking of bread another good thing to keep in check is eating wholegrain. I know, I know, we have all heard it before on commercials and adds, but don’t be deceived by it saying enriched in front of your white bread. This “Does Not” mean that it is good for you, in-fact when reading that , it should come off as a warning. White bread should be cut out of your diet, often just containing carbs and meaningless sugars, primarily “high fructose corn syrup” and has not beneficial benefits.-more info go to, http://thewholetruth.org/Health_Wheat_FAQ.asp
Things you should take in, in majority in a day. 
*Fiber 
*Large portions of berries and fruits
*Fresh veggies-  I am not talking about canned and fresh can be a broad term in the food industry also natural.
*3 things of dairy a day- again watch out for (HFCS)
  • Oils-  Not oil from fatty fried foods but good oils like, Olive oil, canola oil
  • *High Protein /Omega 3 fatty acids- this includes lean meats and fish
*High Water intake- you should drink daily half your body weight in ounces of water. This is very important when you are trying to loss weight.
