We all know that eating healthy is good for us, but most of the foods we commonly eat are not as healthy as they’re made out to be.
The problem with many labelled “healthy” foods is that they have been processed and packaged in a way that makes them less nutritious than their natural counterparts.
When you’re bored, your food choices are limited. You need something to spice things up and make lunch more exciting again.
With the same old boring sandwich every day, it’s easy to lose sight of what a good lunch can be. It’s time for a change! The average person eats the same few meals over and over again.
This is a problem because when you eat the same foods, your body becomes accustomed to those flavors and it craves them even more. It’s like having a drug addiction!
Nutritional deficiencies are a real problem. You’ve probably experienced the effects of one or more yourself, whether it be hair loss, skin rashes, bloating or general sluggishness.
Food rotation is an easy-to-do option to make sure you get the most nutrition out of your food without spending hours reading labels or researching online. This will help you rotate through different types of produce, grains, meat and dairy products so you can eat each type once every two weeks at a minimum. It’s like personal trainer for your pantry!
The solution is simple and inexpensive to implement – eat foods in different combinations each day! That way you get all the nutrients your body needs without overloading on any particular nutrient. This will also help prevent food allergies from developing because your immune system won’t be constantly fighting off something it has been exposed to before.
If you’re not feeling great after eating your usual breakfast, it might be that the food isn’t agreeing with you.
Our bodies are pretty smart and can tell us when we’re doing something wrong. But sometimes our brains get in the way of what our body is trying to tell us. It’s easy to ignore a bad feeling if we’ve been doing something for years without questioning it.
Try switching out your regular breakfast for another type of breakfast option like eggs with avocado on wholegrain toast or yoghurt with a protein smoothie, which could make you feel better than eating the same old boring porridge!
We all know that having a varied diet is the best way to stay healthy, but it can be hard to figure out what you should eat all the time.
Our gut microbiome is unique and we need tailored diets for everyone. However, most of us don’t have time or money for professional nutritional advice or don’t want to spend hours in a supermarket every week trying different products until we find something that works.
A meal delivery service is one way that busy professionals can eat well without sacrificing their career goals. I’ve seen people who were struggling with weight loss achieve their goals within two weeks of eating healthier meals delivered right at their doorsteps each week.
We all know that eating a diverse diet is important, but we also love our favourites. How can you eat your favourite meals and still diversify?
Eating the same thing every day will cause your gut microbiome to become unbalanced. This leads to reduced immunity and poor nutrient absorption.
To keep it healthy, try out different recipes for your favourite meals or change up your meal options from your meal delivery company. A diversity of foods will fine-tune your gut microbiota so it works for you instead of against you! You’ll feel more energy and feel better as a result of these small changes!
Your gut is the home of trillions of bacteria that help you digest food, produce vitamins and fight off pathogens.
You may not like to think about it, but your gut health can have a huge impact on your overall health. If you’re experiencing symptoms such as bloating, gas or diarrhea then chances are that something isn’t right in there!
Fermented foods are packed with probiotics which help support healthy digestion and immune function. They also contain prebiotic fibre which promotes the growth of good bacteria already present in your body. Try adding some fermented foods into your diet to see if they improve how you feel!
Most of us used to eat out more often at restaurants or fast food joints before the pandemic. Now we cook three meals a day at home.
Before the pandemic, many of us had more variety in our meals since we ate out for workday lunches and evenings with friends. Now, most of us eat three meals a day at our kitchen table or at your home office desk now that we are at home. So, mix it up a little with ordering from your local favourite restaurant 1-2 times a week, or use a meal delivery company and pick the meals that suits both your flavour and calorie goals.
If you usually create a huge salad for lunch with rocket, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, roast pumpkin, pine nuts and feta, try swapping rocket with spinach or design a different salad with mixed leaves, black olives, avocado, and grilled chicken.
Variety and rotation of food is key. Eat more seasonal food! Look for seasonal fruits in your supermarket or fruit shop. There are so many different delicious options out there just waiting to be discovered.
