Many people do not pay attention to details in their daily lives, especially young people when it comes to diet. They either overeat or starve themselves. However, to maintain a healthy body, sometimes all we need is to make a few small changes to gain multiple health benefits. By adopting the following dietary habits, you can regain a healthy body.
Drink water before meals
Drinking some water or soup before a meal can increase satiety and help control food intake for those who need to control their diet. Research in the United States has shown that people who drink water before meals can consume nearly 300 calories less per day. If you have excessive gastric acid, drinking water before meals can dilute the stomach acid and help activate the active substances in food, as well as facilitate the normal absorption of nutrients. It should be noted that people with poor gastric motility or digestive problems should avoid drinking water before meals.
Eat coarse grains for dinner
Eating low-calorie carbohydrates at night can help with sleep. Consuming coarse grains is the simplest way to increase dietary fiber. It is recommended to consume oatmeal, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and Chinese yam at night.
Brew tea with warm water
Research from the United States Department of Agriculture has found that compared to vegetables such as spinach or carrots, black tea contains more antioxidants, which can help fight aging and cancer. A study published in the journal "Food Science" even showed that the antioxidant effect of black tea is even higher than that of green tea. However, hot water can easily destroy the beneficial substances in tea and make them lose their effectiveness. Therefore, it is best to brew tea with warm water or slightly cooler water.
Drink more health tea
Different health teas can be prepared according to different seasons. For example, women over 40 years old can soak two or three longans, three or four slices of ginseng, and about ten goji berries in water to drink every day. After soaking these ingredients for a whole day, you can even chew and eat them at night.
In fact, the best way to maintain health is to go with the flow. It is important to pay attention to the details in our daily lives. For example, by making small movements while sitting, lying down, walking, or standing, we can achieve the goal of staying healthy.
