Develop these 5 good eating habits to build a good metabolism, lose weight and resist aging

When it comes to losing weight, it is easier to see results if you start with diet than with exercise. It doesn't mean that you don't need to exercise, but developing a healthy life needs to be done step by step. Once you have formed good eating habits, you can then cultivate another good exercise habit, step by step. Perhaps this is a comfortable way to develop a habit for someone who already has a lot of pressure in his life.

When it comes to diet, I really am not a fan of any kind of "special diet"! But the market is full of various folk remedies or special diet information: eating radishes can help you lose weight, then not eating certain kinds of meat can help you lose belly fat, not eating eggs can help you lose back fat, only eating coconut oil can help you lose fat... Why are they so popular? It’s just because everyone has a little wish: “I want to lose weight! I want to lose weight easily in a short period of time” (actually I want to too... but there’s no such thing...)! When it comes to diet, most people are easily misled by "folk remedies" because they find it difficult to control their appetite, difficult to give up delicious food, or feel that it will take a long time to lose weight. However, any folk remedy is unlikely to last a lifetime, and can easily lead to nutritional imbalances. But we have to eat for a lifetime, so eating a balanced diet, developing good eating habits, and exercising are the basics for a lifelong healthy body shape!

So what should we do? Share five simple eating habits related to body biochemistry! Making the body's digestion and metabolism healthier and smoother may be a good start for those who are just starting to change their diet and want to develop a lean physique (after developing good habits, the speed of getting a good figure is actually no less than a special diet):

The first good habit: eat every meal, breakfast, lunch, and dinner!

Many people choose to fast in order to lose weight, or they don’t eat breakfast or lunch because of their lifestyle habits! When you skip meals, your blood sugar starts to drop, and then your body starts to send warning lights off and you start craving food! At this time, because the body believes that it must "quickly" increase blood sugar, some high-sugar foods will automatically jump into the brain's menu, and you start to want to eat unhealthy foods!

In the long run, irregular eating has another disadvantage. The body is worried about insufficient blood sugar and energy. The calories you take in will tend to be stored instead of consumed because the body does not know when your next meal will come! Regular eating will help stabilize your blood sugar levels, making it easier for the body to use calories as energy rather than storing them as body fat!

The second good habit: eat carbohydrates, fats and proteins at every meal!

Your brain needs sugar to function, and you need enough sugar to provide energy when exercising, so carbohydrates are a must!

Your muscles need protein to repair, your cells need protein to repair, and protein must be consumed!

Your hormones need fat to be synthesized, your internal organs need fat to be protected, and certain vitamins also need fat to be transported, so fat is a must!

These macronutrients that the human body must consume have many uses and functions. The above are just some of them, but everyone should understand that these nutrients can provide calories and have their functions, so giving up any of them in order to lose weight is a very strange decision!

Finally, every meal should have enough vegetables! The following are some recommended amounts of vegetables:

The third good habit: Drinking beverages and coffee is not drinking water, please drink enough water!

All metabolic processes in the human body require "water"! We often hear the word "hydrolysis", which means water + enzymes form a metabolic process that changes substances into another form: for example, fat is hydrolyzed into triglycerides, protein is hydrolyzed into amino acids... As long as your body is not hydrated, your metabolic ability will immediately deteriorate! in addition,

When the body loses 2% of its water, fatigue and mental blockage will occur, and athletic performance will be affected immediately.

Drinking too little water can lead to dehydration, which may reduce the total calories consumed by the body by 2%;

Adults should drink at least 2 liters of water per day, or 30-40 times their body weight (cc);

The fourth good habit: choose whole foods that require more work for the body to digest!

Original food refers to natural ingredients, food that has not been artificially processed! The original food structure has not been destroyed (or has been processed and destroyed very little), so the body needs to consume more calories to complete the task when digesting them, and the calories in the food itself are not easily fully absorbed! In addition, raw foods are high in nutrients. For example, you must supplement them with clean lettuce and fruits in moderation because they contain vitamins and enzymes, and these nutrients can easily be lost due to heating processing! This is why nutritionists always ask you to replace bread with whole grain rice and hamburger patties with real meat, because the latter are processed foods!

The fifth good habit: face enzymes! Your body's metabolic friend!

We mentioned earlier that water is involved in the hydrolysis process after the body absorbs nutrients. Hydrolysis also requires enzymes, which are actually enzymes. Enzymes are involved in the physiological movements of your entire life. Digestion and metabolism are both inseparable from enzymes, which is why there is a saying that "with less enzymes, people will age." You can think of it this way: all your physiological movements require the participation of enzymes. Without the participation of enzymes, digestion and metabolism cannot be initiated, and the body begins to lose function and become sick! The human body can produce enzymes by itself, but with age, stress and civilization diseases, the enzyme production capacity will decline. At this time, it is necessary to supplement enzymes through diet to maintain or increase the amount of enzymes in the body.
