4 Tips for maintaining healthy eating habits for the New Year
The New Year
always brings excitement and motivation for people who
want to have a fresh start. One of the most common New Year’s resolutions we
hear is about healthy eating, which is also probably one of the hardest things
to follow.
However, don’t
give up just yet. Making changes in your health takes commitment, but it is
possible. One of the keys to succeeding is by forming and maintaining healthy
eating habits.
Not sure where
to start? Worry no more as Beko Philippines, the Official Partner of the
Everyday, listed four tips to help make 2019 a healthful year for you and your
famil
Drink enough water
We all know
that drinking water is essential for the body but, what most of us don’t
realize is how being properly hydrated plays a key role in our health. In fact, dehydration often manifests as
hunger, causing you to eat more.
Water not only
helps the human body function well, but it also helps in maintaining a healthy
weight and eliminating toxins. So, keep in mind to drink at least eight to 10
glasses every day.
Avoid fast food
Fast foods like
French fries, burgers, pizzas, doughnuts, among many others, are high in
sodium, fat, and sugar. Eating too much of it over a long period of time raises
the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, and obesity.
Going to fast
food joints can also lead to the formation of unhealthy eating habits. That is
why it is important to eat it in moderation—or better if not at all.
Choose the better option
Some of the
foods we enjoy eating are often not good for us. That is why it is essential to
look for healthy alternatives. For instance, you can replace your regular fries
with sweet potato. This slightly sweeter option is higher in fiber and vitamin
A and is lower in calories than your usual potato.
You can also
replace the classic hotdogs and burgers with a sandwich made with natural
ingredients. By choosing the better option, you are ensuring your health and
the quality of the food you consume.
Pack a healthy lunch
and snacks for work or school
Packing lunch
and snack for you or your kids is not only a good way to save money but is also
an effective way to eat healthier since you know what ingredients are going
into it.
By preparing your own food, you are able to control the
quality and the amount of food you eat. It also help you avoid grabbing food
from the cafeteria, restaurant or fast food, which are often not the healthiest
option.
To make the journey in maintaining
healthy eating habits more fun, consider using Beko’s GG15126DXPR Cooking
Range, which has four Gas Burners plus a Wok Burner, Gas Oven, and Electric
Grill. This cooker has the CleanZone feature, where the inner glass doors of
the ovens are coated in oleophobic technology, which resists dirt and grimes so
you don’t have to spend your time cleaning oven doors with heavy duty products.
It also has an electronic ignition integrated into the knobs, which provides
easy and simple lighting for gas burners.
The GG15126DXPR’s oven has a Gas
Safety feature, which senses flames that might occur. If the flame goes out
accidentally by wind or some kind of liquid, the gas flow automatically cuts
off. And lastly, it has a Flame Failure Device for Burners that automatically
cuts off the gas supply to prevent any gas leakage if the flame is accidentally
extinguished by wind or overflowing liquid.
