We are in the era of practicality, so walking fast and finding the simplest way to do things is the order of the day, like having several soft drinks or processed juices in the fridge. It is necessary to understand that our body requires attention and time and, of course, healthy habits. It is likely that now you do not completely affect that routine where water barely peeks into your diet, but in the long term it could be regrettable.

Surely you’ve heard that you should drink at least two liters of water a day, but you really know why, how, or at what time is it most favorable for your body? Remember that it is never too late to change your life, and after listening to the great benefits of water, you can not avoid taking it all the time!

Your body is water:

If we are more than 70% water, this tells us that we simply will not work without it, since it intervenes in almost all our physiological processes. The first benefit is the elimination of toxins, preventing them from being absorbed by our body and causing diseases.

Detox effect:

Drinking water is the best start to achieve a detox treatment, consume more water exercises the diuresis, helping the kidneys to get rid of waste and unnecessary nutrients through the urine, as well as make the concentrated minerals more soluble.

One or two glasses of water will be enough to activate your metabolism, stimulate digestion and help the brain cells receive better oxygenation. If the water is warm or at room temperature, its benefits are greater when boosting the purification process.

Digestion:

Choose a non-disposable container:

Take your Shaker everywhere, so you will not need to buy bottled water ever. This practice does have positive effects on your health. Since we have heard that drinking from a plastic bottle might not be such a good idea for your well-being and not for the environment either.

An important fact is that when exposing plastic bottles to heat, such as walking with it in the sun, carrying it in the car’s cup holder or having it in the gym in hot weather, the plastic layers marked with recycling codes 3 or 7, they release a component called bisphenol that is highly detrimental to health, and the problem is that when it is ingested, it alters and modifies the proper functioning of the endocrine system.

Take pleasure in water?

Of course it is important to learn to take love to this habit, as if it were a vital part of our body, because in fact, it is. But from time to time during the day you can vary the way you consume it, the water can be alternated with other foods, as long as they are productive for our body, such as infusions, natural fruits or Cleanse Me! ® !, a refreshing explosion of flavor and low in calories.

Do not forget to drink water constantly during the day and not wait to have that annoying feeling of thirst, which also speaks of an early dehydration. And remember that you can also get it from fruits and vegetables, which provide a large amount of water.

A healthy meal starts with more vegetables and fruits and smaller portions of protein and grains. Think about adjusting the portions on the plate to get more of what a body needs without too many calories. I’ll give you 9 tips to build a perfect meal:

1. Make half the plate veggies and fruits: vegetables and fruits are full of nutrients and may help to promote good health. Choose red, orange, and dark-green vegetables such as tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and broccoli.
2. Add lean protein: choose protein foods, such as lean beef and pork, or chicken, turkey, beans, or tofu. Twice a week, make seafood the protein on your plate.
3. Include whole grains: look for the words “100 percent whole grain” or “100 percent whole wheat” on the food label. Whole grains provide more nutrients, like fiber, than refined grains.
4. Avoid extra fat: using heavy gravies or sauces will add fat and calories to otherwise healthy choices. For example, steamed broccoli is great, but avoid topping it with cheese sauce. Try other options, like a sprinkling of spices like pepper or garlic or squeeze a lemon.
5. Take your time: savor the food. Eat slowly, enjoy the taste and textures, and pay attention to how you feel. Be mindful. Eating very quickly may cause people to eat too much.
6. Use a smaller plate: use a smaller plate at meals to help with portion control. That way you can finish the entire plate and feel satisfied without overeating.
7. Take control of your food: eat at home more often to know exactly what you are eating. If you eat out, check and compare the nutrition information. Choose healthier options such as baked instead of fried.
8. Try new foods: keep it interesting by picking out new foods you’ve never tried before, like: mango, lentils, or kale. You may find a new favorite. Trade fun and tasty recipes with friends or find them online.
9. Satisfy your sweet tooth in a healthy way: indulge in a naturally sweet dessert dish – fruit. Serve a fresh fruit cocktail and for a hot dessert, bake apples and top with cinnamon.
