Post Christmas Diet: Eat Right And Be Healthy

Written by Carla Dalembert on December 4th, 2011

Here are some tips and guidelines to be able to jumpstart a healthier year.

Here you are, several weeks right after the holidays where you indulged in nearly every Filipino food on top of the family table, squeezing yourself into skinny jeans and skirts that used to fit you. It is really not an issue of being vain but of well being – a purification from your excusable binging throughout the holiday season.

What to do? Here are some points and reminders on how to get back on the healthy life:

How should we help our system to detoxify after all the eating and drinking over the holidays?

Let us first focus on detoxing. Detoxification came from the undeniable fact that unhealthy toxins are acquired in the body coming from the “unhealthy” food and drink, that induce health issues, after uncontrolled eating through the holidays. Detoxing is like a filtering process from food indulgence.

Exactly what are the beneficial solutions to prepare food if you want to keep healthy?

If you’re asking the ultimate way to prepare the meals my answer is something in the means of cooking. Like to lessen your fat consumption, the best ways of cooking is by boiling, steaming, roasting or grilling. Such techniques of food preparation will not make use of oil or fat that can help trim down added calories for those who are weight conscious. Many Filipino recipes can be cooked through these healthy options.

Boiling the food would have much less calories as compared to when it is fried.

Are vegetables and fruits the best option?

Many fruits are best taken as whole fruit. This is because you get to take in the fibers and acquire the most nutritional value especially when you eat the fresh fruits with the skin. Pointers for balanced eating firmly advocate the consumption of vegetables and fruit (5 to 9 servings per day). High fiber absorption has been connected with lowered risk of heart disease. You can include these fruits and veggies as starters for your Filipino food meals to maintain a balanced diet.
