Drink Plenty of Water

“For men, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommends a total of 13 cups (about 3 liters) of fluid each day. For women, they suggest 9 cups (a little over 2 liters) of fluid each day. Pregnant women should drink about 10 cups of water daily. Those who breastfeed need about 12 cups.“

Remember each person’s fluid intake requirements are different, always talk to your doctor before engaging in any dietary regimen which includes Fluid Intake.

Eat More Veggies

Cook | Eat At Home More

For many of us cooking at home is a chore, but the health benefits are abundant. Consider buying foods that are healthy and ready to go making cooking at home seem less like a chore. Having your food prepared and delivered is a great option for those who don’t like to cook or go to the grocery store all of the legwork is done for you.

Cheat With Foods You Love

Depriving yourself of certain foods can have a reverse effect and actually cause overeating or worse encourage you to return to poor eating habits. When it comes to your not-so-nutritious foods eat them but be thoughtful of how much you are eating and consider snacking on foods that are made with more wholesome ingredients.

Be Merry In Moderation

We all know that a night out with friends at the pub can be fun but on your next Pub Night remember this alcohol consumption can cause unwanted calories and get your appetite going. Lessen the amount of alcohol you consume and consider drinks like organic wine and cocktails that are a little more natural in how they are made.

Think Community

If you are just starting your fitness journey or maybe doing a reset remember that when you need some encouragement and some cheering look to a friend, community, or even social media to keep you going, we all need support at some point.
