Food Tips to Live a Longer Life
Every human being love to live
long life with their best of health. In fact you may not be able to control
your genetic factors or your surrounding environment, but you can control what
you eat. Of all the things you do to stay healthy and live a long life, paying
attention to what you eat can give the surest results. Here’re 15 simple tips
to change your diet to live out your years the healthiest way as you can. There
is a baffling array of diets out there, but try out a few of these easy ideas
to change your diet and your life for the better. Yes we knew a balanced diet
is the best not too much of anything though it’s difficult when it comes to favorite
foods.
Take Nutrient-Rich Foods instead
of worrying over calories, worry about the nutritional density of your food. Before
I changed my diet, I had this idea that I had to have some sides and a big
entrée-looking thing and now I have very simple meals that have much more
calories in them and much more nutrients. So per item I am getting much more
nutrients per calorie than I used to and find food more satisfying and pleasing
because of that.
You must pick fermented foods by
starting your meal with a fermented, raw food, such as raw sauerkraut or kimchee,
is a great way to get your digestive fire going naturally. Chow down a couple
of tablespoons for a nice dose of enzymes before you start eating.
Make sure your water is purified
as we’ve this assumption that is a give-in that our water is of good quality and
the reality is that our water is actually one of the culprits reintroducing
toxins into our diet right now. We need to pay attention to that as a potential
source of contamination. The level of contaminants, such as pharmaceuticals,
hormones, metals and fluoride, is worrisome. The only way to get clean water is
to pass it through a filtration system. Get informed about the water supply
where you live.
Choose berries as your go-to
fruit, because bursting with antioxidants; fruits are Boyd’s best friends. The
best fruits for your health are berries. Since they are seasonal, try organic
frozen berries, probably to cool down oatmeal or blended up raw with coconut
milk.
Steer clear of processed foods as
you’ll never get (high levels of nutrients) with something that has an actually
catchy name and is in a very colorful box. So it is generally the first hint. Everybody
wants food that looks as close as possible to its original form in which it
grows in the world at any costs try to avoid the chemical-laden, big
agriculture foods that have an ingredient list you can’t pronounce or
understand.
Get your fill of veggies,
especially cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts and kale. People
who’re used to counting their calories: Go hog wild. Eat as many well-prepared
vegetables as you can get.” Green vegetables in general are powerhouses of
nutrients and have cancer-fighting properties. “My general advice to people is
every time you are opening your pie hole, you should be putting in as many
vegetables as you can get in first and foremost. And after you feel you have
done God’s work in getting all of that down, then you can focus on other things
on plate.
Keep your animal products to a
condiment-sized amount with our factory farms, animals are not fed their ideal
diet, plus many animal products are full of saturated fat and cholesterol. We
pay for it when the animals we eat suffer from abnormalities and are treated
with hormones. Plants are the best sources for protein, but if you need
familiar animal foods as part of your diet, go with a small serving.
Dress your veggies the right way
and cook them only in olive oil or coconut oil and pair with a healthy fat like
avocado. For flavor, try coating in sesame seeds or dousing with herbs and
garlic. Remember that the first step of digestion occurs before your food
enters your body. You don’t have that first phase of digestion in head.
Imagining your food, planning, and thinking about what you will be eating,
being in contact with your food, and chopping it up, releasing the odors all of
those things get your enzymes going, your salivary gland, and your digestive
enzymes going. In saliva you have all these antibacterial properties.
It is very imperative to keep
track of your water intake and buy a large refillable container, preferably
stainless steel, and carry it around with you. Boyd has a 40 oz. bottle that
she drains at least one and a half times a day. Be careful of disposable water
bottles, because the plastic can leach chemicals into the water.
Spice it up as we forget that spices
can be really valuable and high in antioxidants. They pack a powerful punch for
their size. Jazz up your meals with liberal amounts of curry, oregano, turmeric
and basil, maybe grown in your own garden or windowsill. The allium family,
such as garlic and onions, comprises loads of powerful antioxidants and can
prevent infection and lower blood pressure.
Connect with your food because all
of the books that discuss about great diets for longevity the thing they’ve in
common are that they’ve lots of great practices around the culture of eating.
They’re cooking, they’re relaxing, they’re coming in contact with their food,
they’re eating socially with other people, they’re praying over their food. All
of those things, when done correctly, can be relaxing.
Add lentils to your diet, because
Lentils are a good choice as they’re high in protein and fiber, plus contain a
great deal of vitamins and minerals. Boyd suggests combining lentils with a
healthy fat such as coconut oil to make them more digestible and absorb all the
nutrients. You can get all the protein you need without touching animal
products with a quick sauté.
Work around your busy schedule
because not all packaged food is processed food. If you don’t like to cook,
there’re several foods with quality ingredients that are premade. Or try
cutting up your week’s veggies Sunday night to be able to throw meals together
fast.
Try to be creative and mixing up
your vegetables and sample new things, new foods, fresh cooking techniques, new
spices and flavorings. Don’t be a slave to the same foods all the time. Go for different
colors and try things that are new to you. Go for your staples in new ways. Probably
freeze some berries into an ice cube tray to pop in your drinks. Whatever you
do, don’t pressurize yourself out so much you do not relish your food. The motivation
is on living well and healthily for as long as you can. Take a few small steps
a day and in no time your body will thank you for your new health.
