4 Nutrition Tips For a Healthy and Fit Life
By Caroline Neitzel
NUTRITION TIP #1:
♥ Wash your fruit and place them in a bowl on the counter or the table, where they are easily accessible.
♥ to prevent taking in unnecessary calories and to ensure you are getting the best nutrients for your body, have fruit ready to go so you can just grab a piece as you’re running by to console or feed your baby
♥ Your baby will never remember a messy house but they will remember the love you give them.
AND, you can only love them to your best ability if you’re AT your best ability, meaning eating healthy food and engaging in regular exercise.
NUTRITION TIP #2:
Choose one day a week and devote a couple hours to cooking some healthy meals and freezing them.
OR – if you have the option, ask your mom to cook these meals for you. :O) Some ideas include:
♥ lentil soup ♥ bean soup ♥ spaghetti sauce ♥ vegetable soup ♥ stew
These meals are filled with nutrients and are easy to take out of the freezer in the morning and heat up during the day.
NUTRITION TIP #3:
If you’re a nibbler, keep healthy snacks handy, such as nuts, raisins, and dried fruits.
♥ at the start of the day – place the portion you would like to stay within during the day in a little bowl on the counter or table so you can graze as you run past.
NUTRITION TIP #4:
Keep yourself hydrated – drink lots of water. Drink more water than you ever thought you would, and then drink some more and that should be sufficient!
♥ have a 1.5 liter water bottle full each morning, and make a commitment to drink at least the whole thing throughout the day.
♥ people often mistake dehydration for hunger pangs
These tips will help you stay energized throughout the day so you are always giving your best to your baby, and they will also help you avoid overindulging at meal times, taking in unnecessary calories.
