10 Ways to Improve Your Health

by admin in Healthy Living 0 comments
How can you lead a healthier life – simply? Here are 10 health tips!   1. Eat slowly Did you know that eating too quickly can cause weight gain? According to research, faster eaters are more likely to be overweight, as compared to people who eat more slowly. In one study, it was also suggested that this is 115% more likely to happen in middle-aged women. As you eat, your body releases ‘fullness hormones’ that tell your brain you’ve eaten and should stop. However, as this process takes about 20 minutes, speedy eaters may consume too much food and only receive this signal later – which explains the ‘post-buffet bloat’ you may feel after a satisfying meal. The next time you’re having a meal, make a conscious effort to eat slower and observe the effect on your appetite.   2. Drink more water You may have heard of the saying to “drink 8 glasses of water a day”, yet not many may actually follow this, often choosing to count their total liquid intake instead – which usually includes sodas, coffee, and other beverages. Your body isn’t made up of soft drinks and beers, however. Depending on age, about 60% of […]
