What are the important tips to remain healthy?
Everyone knows that maintaining a good diet, exercising, and having plenty of rest is crucial to maintaining a healthy state. While in college, however, that can seem an unlikely task. Sometimes, the lure of candy, fast food, caffeine, and alcohol outweighs healthier choices while you’re in friends’ company or under the burden of coursework. Here are some tips to stay safe considering your individual health choice.
Nutrition
Eat nutrient-rich foods. Your regular range of foods should include a mix of healthy carbs, protein, fruits, veggies, and dairy.
Eat small portions
A healthy and fit body can only be achieved if a safe and balanced diet is maintained. What is a small portion of it? One serving of a medium-sized slice of fruit. A cup of pasta is equal to 2 servings, and 4 servings produce a pint of ice cream.
DO NOT Miss MEALS.
Missing meals will lead to hunger out of control, which also leads to over-indulgence. If you are short of time, snacking between regular meals will help.
Since our bodies need a range of nutrition, eliminating all salt, fat, and sugar from our diets is a bad idea, unless a medical professional orders them. It will help you achieve a healthy diet by selecting healthier choices like skim or low-fat dairy.
Make sure to drink water! Keep away from cookies and soft drinks, containing up to 17 teaspoons of sugar per 20 oz! Water not only helps to hydrate but also assists in the circulation of the blood, eliminating toxins from our bodies and controlling our body temperatures.
Stop taking too much caffeine. Caffeine is an addictive drug that can damage the ability to concentrate and sleep while also affect body functions such as muscle function and excretion process.
Fats were considered villains for a long time, but not all fats are evil. Fats are important, particularly for balancing hormones, maintaining healthy skin and hair, and maintaining digestive processes. Breaking down a food group is never sustainable. The unsaturated fats are better than trans and saturated fats. You may have thought all this while preserving good health might prove to be a bit difficult, but it is not really.
Drink plenty of water every single day:
People who have weight loss problems and whoever eats should avoid drinking water with their meals. Not only because of calories, but because liquids flood foods into the digestive system and impair the capacity of the body to assimilate nutrients. A glass of soft drink will therefore provide a significant portion of your daily calorie intake, while at the same time reducing your nutrient assimilation.
Social health
In a supportive atmosphere, involve yourself and meet people. Often it can be difficult to adapt to college, particularly when students leave the support system they have known for life. Whether it’s playing in a sports team or the government of Rhodes Student, joining a charitable group, volunteering in the kitchen supper, or assisting in some other way, helping others support us.
