When you hear the word health or healthy what do you think of first? Food or exercising? Well you should be thinking both because they both play a huge role in the body.
Many people think just because you exercise ( cardio, lifting, or even sports ) that you're automatically considered to be a healthy person. You kind of are, but if your eating habits are bad then that will effect your health. Working out is very healthy for you, it gets your blood pumping and after your done with working out you feel much better, like something has been accomplished. Well there has been something accomplished. You got your heart rate up which means blood is flowing smoothly through your body. When your blood flows smoothly it decreases the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Now eating wise, what do you ( readers ) usually eat? I know that sometimes we cheat our way through the day by eating some junk food. That's fine but make sure it's not an everyday thing. Do you have an eating plan? Like a list of foods that are healthy for you to eat? Also be sure to drink a lot of WATER because that is a must. It's the most important thing you can do.
For me I have my own eating plan, I'll share it with you:
Breakfast: Cereal and milk ( i like to keep it simple in the morning )
Lunch: Peanut butter sandwich ( peanut butter helps me before working out (gives a lot of energy and is a good source of protein, most college programs do this ))
Afternoon: 1 cup milk, 6 egg whites, usually 1 cup rice, and 1 chicken breast.
5 P.M: 3-4 packets of regular oatmeal, 2 bananas, and 1 cup of milk.
Dinner: Usually same as the afternoon meal, if not then 2 cups of rice and a cup of milk.
An hour after Dinner: 1 cup milk, 6 eggs; chicken breast or steak.
Nighttime: I drink a protein shake, i drink it at night because when your sleeping your body isn't taking in any source of protein, carbs, or any of that because you aren't eating, so for me drinking a protein shake at night helps with this problem. If you don't drink it at night then you can as soon as you wake up!
Also to point out another thing, instead of the milk you can be drinking water. I just like drinking milk because i know it has protein and carbs. I always try and take in as much protein as i can.
Share with me what your eating schedule is like. I'd be glad to read your opinions on my schedule as well!

Your right! Eliminating, or limiting the amount of times you eat junk foods weekly, is vastly recommended. As you progress with your routine, it becomes easier to avoid bad foods, and eventually becomes part of your LIFESTYLE. Now, when it comes to eating something out of sort, I feel disgusted at how people can go for this stuff!!
ReplyDeleteIf you think about it.. meat and veggies should be the junk foods, that taste so good, and the chips and soda are the foods we don't want to eat, because they are so plain and unattractively "healthy" to the taste buds.
I agree here.
ReplyDeleteA lot of casual gym goers do not see any progress in the gym after the first two or three months because they ignore the most important part all along- dieting.
This is the precise weblog for anybody who needs to seek out out about this topic. You notice so much its almost arduous to argue with you. You positively put a brand new spin on a subject that's been written about for years. Nice stuff, simply nice!
