If you are a bride to be, you are preparing to join your soon to be husband in the magnificent union of marriage. The union between Exercise and Nutrition is just as magnificent.
Exercise and Nutrition each play an integral role in helping you reach your fitness goals.
Here are my top ten nutrition tips to help you loose weight, be a healthier wife, and live a healthier life!!!!
1. Carbohydrates: When grocery shopping, choose “good” carbohydrates such as whole grains.
2. Protein: Vegetable sources of protein such as beans, nuts and whole grains, are excellent choices because they are rich in healthy fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Fish and poultry are the best animal protein choices.
3. Fats: Avoid trans fat and and use plenty of plant oil, nuts and fish. Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are “good fats” that lower disease risk. Trans fats and saturated fats are “bad fats” that increase disease risk.
4. Fiber: Choose a diet filled with fiber such as whole grains, vegetables, and fruits.
5. Vegetables and Fruits: Eat lots of fruits and vegetables. A diet that is rich in fruits and vegetables lowers blood pressure, and reduces risk of heart disease. Try to consume nine servings of vegetables and fruits each day in order to give your body a mix of the nutrients it needs.
6. Calcium: Milk is not the only source of calcium. Beans and tofu can also supply your body with calcium.
7. Healthy Drinks: Avoid drinks filled with sugar and stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
8. Lower Salt and Sodium Intake: Avoid processed foods and choose more fresh foods. If you are pressed for time use your slow cooker to prepare meals that include fresh ingredients.
9. Alcohol: Moderate drinking can be healthy. A general guideline is twelve ounces of beer or five ounces of wine.
10. Vitamins: Select a multivitamin and be sure to take it daily.
Stay tuned for next Friday’s Fitness!!!!!!!!!!!!
