Munch on a bowl of fruits, roasted chana, and peanuts with tea. Ditch cookies, chips and samosas. Coconut water , lassi, buttermilk, green tea, lime juice are a good way to beat dehydration.
Do not forget to have two-three litres of water every day. Include at least three fruits and three to four katoris of veggies in your meals through the day. Balancing your meals does not just mean including all these foods in your plate. It also means consuming them in optimal quantities. If you live a mainly sedentary lifestyle it is wise to modify your diet to account for the lower daily calorie expenditure. People of all ages who engage in a sedentary lifestyle have lower calorie requirements to maintain their current weight than people who are active.
For sedentary females, 1, calories per day are required for ages 2 to 3; 1, calories for ages 4 to 8; 1, for ages 9 to 13; 1, for 14 to 18; 2, for 19 to 30; 1, for 31 to 50 and 1, for 51 and over. For sedentary males, daily calories should be 1, for ages 2 to 3; 1, for 4 to 8; 1, for 9 to 13; 2, for 14 to 18; 2, for 19 to 30; 2, for 31 to 50 and 2, for 51 and over, says the National Institutes of Health 1. A sedentary lifestyle poses several different health risks 3.
Depending on your caloric intake, being sedentary may lead to obesity, heart disease, depression, high blood pressure, poor circulation and cognitive decline in older people. Taking opportunities throughout the day to move your body helps prevent some of the negative effects of a sedentary lifestyle. Some examples are walking to work, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, parking farther away from your office and using breaks to go for short walks.
You can also wake up 20 or 30 minutes earlier to fit in a workout, perform household chores quickly to burn more calories, do different exercises while watching television in the evening or join an exercise class. Proteins take longer than carbohydrates to digest, so they can also help you feel full longer. Add nonfat or low-fat dairy, such as yogurt, to your breakfast fruit for a sweet and filling start to your day. Add protein to your lunch salad in the form of chicken, shrimp, tuna or a hard-boiled egg, and have a 4-ounce portion of chicken, fish or meat with your dinner vegetables.
Carbohydrates are the land mines on almost every dieter's path. They're delicious, soothing and versatile, and they're not bad for you as long as you choose the right type. Avoid empty starchy carbs like white rice, white bread, white-flour pasta, cake, cookies, crackers and all mass-produced snack foods.
The processed flour and refined sugars in these foods cause a sudden spike in your blood sugar, which calls for an insulin response. Once the sugar has been scrubbed from your bloodstream by the insulin, your brain may signal hunger, and you'll want another helping or a second snack. Consider oatmeal or granola for a filling and hearty breakfast, or have a slice or two of dense, whole-grain toast topped with cottage cheese and a drizzle of honey.
