1. Control Your Portion Size - Overeating is super unhealthy, even if it is healthy food. Portion size is the most important top when it comes to healthy eating. So when making and eating meals, use your general sense of what a standard serving should look like and try to limit yourself to that. Sometime we don't realize how little we can eat with still feeling satisfied.
2. Eat Slower - Studies should that it takes up to 20 minutes for the brain to receive the message from your stomach that it's full. So the quicker you eat big meals, the more chance you have to over eat before your brain will know you're full. So take your time when eating, because it's another thing that will help you control your portion size.
3. Drink Water Before You Eat - One big mistake people make is thinking you're hungry when you are really just thirsty. So another tip for healthy eating is drinking water before you eat, so you will be able to quench your thirst and then be able to tell if your body is also hungry for food. If you're really just thirsty rather than hungry and you eat, you're just injecting extra calories you don't need.
4. Learn About Food - Another big tip for healthy eating is actually knowing what food is healthy to eat. Learning about fat, carbs, protein, and calories will help you understand why specific food is so healthy for you, and gear you towards healthier options.
5. Eat A Variety Of Foods - Eating the same type of foods all the time, even if they are healthy, aren't going to be as beneficial for your health. Sure, foods with protein are good for you, and you should eat them everyday, but you also need to make sure you are also getting your source of iron, vitamins, and fibre.
