5 Recommended Healthy Lifestyle Tips 

This World Health Day start working on your lifestyle from the morning itself. Morning is the best time for starting off a healthy day.

Hence instead of the regular health tips of the day, we bring to you these 5 amazing healthy lifestyle tips to start your day with.

Let the beginning be healthy itself!

1. Start the day with a glass of water

This should be a default morning routine for a healthy lifestyle.

Water gives you a healthy start because it helps in the proper circulation of nutrients in the body. Water serves as the body’s transportation system.

3 Amazing Roles of Water in our body

Helps in weight loss

Let us tell you that water doesn’t have some magical property that kills fat (sorry!), but it can help you with your weight loss efforts.[1]

First off, by staying hydrated, one can prevent overeating. That is because a lot of people confuse thirst with hunger! Isn’t drinking water better than eating high energy foods?

Flushes out toxins early on

It is a long known secret that drinking water as soon as you get up, i.e. before eating anything is a good way to purify your internal system.

This practice helps to flush off the toxins from our body and cleanses the colon thus it enables better absorption of nutrients from various foods.

Helps in getting a glowing skin throughout the day

Water, the first thing in the morning, helps improve the skin glow by flushing off the toxins from the body.

It also helps the skin do its job of regulating the body’s temperature through sweating, renewing the body cells. [2]

Note: If you are bored of drinking plain water, you can add a dash of lemon. The benefits of lemon water in the morning is it helps in detoxification and tastes good.

Remember not to add sugar! Need more reasons to drink more water? Read on this blog about a recent study on drinking water.

“The Possible healthy start tip: After 20 minutes of drinking water take some healthy food like nuts, fruit etc.”

2. Consume a healthy breakfast within the first hour of waking up

A healthy lifestyle has a lot to do with your meal timings. Since breakfast is the most important meal of a day, here’s the perfect tips for a healthy breakfast.

a) Best time to have breakfast:

The optimum time to have breakfast is 7 am, or within the first hour of waking up.

b) Qualities of the breakfast:

Breakfast should always be healthier, heavier, and eaten at earliest. Almost 60% of our total calories should come from our breakfast.

c) Start the breakfast with:  

A fresh fruit or vegetable juice after a glass of water is advisable. If you plan to consume both, you could do so.

It is a nutritional double whammy. Eating fruits, the first thing in the morning, after a glass of water is highly advisable.

That is because fruits may not be digested and absorbed properly if eaten right after a meal. Eating fruits/ drinking vegetable juice early could also reduce the number of carbs consumed in breakfast.

d) Follow up breakfast with:

You can then add protein-rich items like egg or sprouts. Studies show that including eggs in breakfast can help you eat fewer calories for the next 3 hours.

Which translates to losing more weight and body fat. If you can’t or don’t eat eggs for some reason, then any source of good quality protein should do the trick.

e) Some breakfast suggestions: 

After a protein-rich food, you can consume regular breakfast items consisting of complex carbs or healthy carbs such as pesarattu (moong dal chilla)/ idly/ wheat vegetable upma/ vegetable dosa/ red poha with vegetables etc.

If you are the breakfast cereal kinds, we have the harsh truth about how healthy is your breakfast cereal right here in this blog.

“The Possible healthy start tip: After breakfast, take 2 hours before you drink or eat anything.”

3. Make some time for a morning exercise routine

We know morning could be a hectic time but try taking time out for at least 15 minutes of morning exercise for weight loss.

It could something simple like spot jogging, planks, squats, or even a few Surya Namaskars. Try doing it every alternate day until it becomes you have a daily morning exercise charted out.

Here are 13 awesome walking exercises with 5 of them demonstrated for all of you.

What is a healthy living?

Confused with leading a healthy lifestyle and healthy living? Healthy living is a state in which you are mentally, physically, and spiritually healthy. Guess what, leading a healthy lifestyle is the first step towards a healthy living!

4. Don’t skip any nutrient group throughout the day

A healthy lifestyle or a healthy living is very much about having all the food groups in your diet. With zero carb diet plans becoming popular for weight loss, one should know that every food group is important for the body.

Carbohydrates are all about energy and are found in foods like fruits, grains, bread, and dairy products.

They have wrongly implicated because they provide energy but they also provide both minerals and vitamins.

Hence, we should not avoid this food group as a part of a healthy daily diet. We also tell you why you shouldn’t count calories for weight loss or otherwise.

What happens when you completely skip carbohydrates?

If you stop eating carbohydrate, you rapidly lose water weight as your body breaks down the stored carbohydrates,” explains Darwin Deen, MD, Senior attending physician at Montefiore Medical Centre’s Department of Family and Social Medicine in the Bronx, New York. ” The problem is that a low-carbohydrate diet is not a normal balance of physiologic nutrition.

As soon as you start eating carbohydrates again, your body replenished your carbohydrate stores and your weight comes back. So it is always advisable to have everything as per the required allowance.”

Consume more of fruits and vegetables:

Aim to reach at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables in a day because that is the recommended amount to keep lifestyle diseases at bay.

5. Consume healthy snacks every 2-3 hours

You may have a healthy diet plan but as long as you don’t account for snacks, you may fail at leading a healthy lifestyle. How to counter this? Always have healthy, non-fried but baked snacks handy.

If possible, you can make some yourself at home! That will prevent unnecessary snacking. In fact, frequently snacking with small healthy meals help in weight maintenance. [3]

Here’s a recipe for baked sweet potato that can be great for healthy snacking.

So not just on this World Health Day, promise yourself a good health for all time! Eat right and Stay Healthy!

    This content is pretty awesome and really helpful to each and each every one of us who are positive health freaks and want to pursue a good heath of us and my family.
    It’s very nice that you have mentioned the points like:-
    1.Need of a water
    2.need of a healthy breakfast and even heavy one.
    3. exercise,
    but, I think that you have missed one point which I learned to be very important i.e,-

    Sleep Right

    Catching a few snoozes is not just a great way to relax, but even a must, you have to, absolutely sleep for at the least six hours a day for your body to function in a healthy manner. A great way to catch up on some rest and relaxation is to not set an alarm on weekends and take proper rest. An early to bed and early to rise’ philosophy might be just the thing you need to complete your chores with a balanced state of mind rather than on a caffeine high.

    I hope i was able to help
