This is the year for a fresh start. In terms of your 2023 diet, get rid of diet cliché and consider our tips to stay healthy.
No matter how much we talk about being healthy, we should always check the diet first.
Diet is an individualized concept. Still, all people need the same ingredients to maintain metabolic balance.
By buying organic products, preparing them in the right way, you make the first step. The next level is to adjust meals intake by the needs of your body. This approach is called “personalized nutrition”. Health specialists recognize the importance of choosing foods that are healthy for us. Yet, there is no unified diet for everyone.
Dividing your daily food intake into three categories will make it easier to track changes and build positive behavior.
Split into early, middle, and late meals.
The early meal should be rich in carbohydrates and fibers. Fiber-rich food activates bowel movement. Whereas, carbohydrates are digested very fast and give you enough energy to exponentially increase your metabolism. Mid-day meals can be built from food rich in proteins, carbs, and fats. You can experiment, and pick the kind you prefer.
A late meal is the one taken at least 3-4 hours before sleep. It should mainly consist of proteins.
We tried to determine the main types of preferences and summarized the best choices to use in your 2020 diet.
The “I eat everything” diet
Our recommendation is to eat a variety of products. Enrich your everyday meals with fruits and leafy vegetables. Start your day with oatmeal, dried fruits, or a loaf of bread.
Continue with a good portion of meat with salad, or fried vegetables with seeds in the afternoon. In the evening try it with eggs or dairy products: hard-boiled egg, cottage cheese.
Reduce salt/sugar intake to prevent hypertension and diabetes. Use less caffeinated drinks to contribute to a better sleep schedule. Do not forget about replacing saturated fats with unsaturated ones. Using fish as a protein and fat source twice a week will protect you from atherosclerosis in the future.
The “I don’t eat meat” diet
Vegan diets are fascinatingly spreading worldwide and involving people who fight against harming animals or being afraid of receiving antibiotics and hormones through consuming meat or just accepting this way of eating for religious or philosophical purposes.
The goal of preserving metabolic balance is receiving enough proteins from sources other than meat. The best choices may be mushrooms, lentils, beans, and dark-green vegetables. Don’t forget to include chia, hemp seeds, and almond. Although, do not mix them up.
The “I don’t eat dairy products” diet
Milk, cheeses, and other kinds of dairy products are not on the list for some people. If you are one of them, remember there is a risk of missing a big amount of calcium, vitamin D and proteins essential for your health. If you go lactose-free – then just try avoiding products with lactose – check products for a special mark of lactose-free. Otherwise, get your daily doses of calcium from leafy greens, almond milk, and broccoli.
