Quick Tips from Mars Nutrition
Quick Tips
1. Treat your daily diet like your bank account.
Set a calorie budget. Spend wisely. Watch closely. Splurge occasionally.
2. Move around more.
Plan for at least 10-20 minutes of uninterrupted physical activity every day. Move through your daily activities with energy. Take the long way when you walk through your office or school building. And remember, you don't have to sit still to watch TV. Taking these simple steps will help you reach the recommended goal of 30-60 minutes of activity each day.
3. Snack within your calorie budget.
Choose healthful snacks, including fruits, vegetables and whole grains most of the time. A higher-calorie or higher-fat snack means that you have to make a trade-off. Don't add snacks to a healthy diet; include them.
4. Be a label reader
Reading labels is a smart move and a great habit to pick up if you haven't already. Stick to the serving sizes that are suggested and think about how each food fits into your healthy diet. Nutrition Facts for foods are based on an "average" 2,000 calorie diet for an adult male. But remember, you may need more or less calories (energy), and in turn, more or less nutrients than that "average" adult.
5. Use exercise, not food, to relieve stress
Exercise. Just a brisk walk will release endorphins, the "feel-good" hormones that can help to improve your mood. When you're feeling stressed-out you should think before you eat. Know your body's hunger signals so that you don't mistake stress or boredom for true hunger.
