Getting Focused on a Heathly Life!



OK, so I have been doing a little research and have been able to find some great health tips and awesome ideas on living a healthier life. There is always some type of quick fix diet to get us into that dress for a major event, but that's not what is important, changing your eating habits and exercising is about a change of lifestyle.

Here are a few health tips:

1. Eat six smaller meals a day, one every three hours.
2. Eat lean protein and complex carbs at every meal.
3. No sugar, no trans fat, no boxed or processed foods.
4. Alcohol is a rare treat.
5. Drink lots of water.

Here are a few sample meals to give you an idea of some healthy options:

Breakfast
Oatmeal with berries, hard-boiled egg whites, black coffee; or small whole-grain wrap with scrambled egg whites, tomatoes and mushrooms, black coffee. Water.

Lunch
Mixed greens, sliced tomatoes, grilled chicken, one piece of organic whole-grain bread; or turkey breast on baby spinach salad with sprouts and mixed greens. Water or green tea.

Dinner
Grilled fillet of salmon, brown rice, stir-fried bok choy; or whole grain spaghetti with homemade turkey meatballs, asparagus, baby spinach and mushrooms. Water.

Now I'm not saying that all of these drastic changes are necessary in your life, but just by changing some of those not so great habits to a few healthy ones, I guarantee that you will feel better and have more energy!
