Now more than ever, individuals are finding ways to live healthier lifestyles. A quick google search about healthy living and dieting will result in a ton of information that it can be hard to know what is accurate. However, be wary of fad diets all over social media that promise quick and easy results.
The truth is these quick fixes don’t work. What does work is a lifestyle change. As an additional bonus, small lifestyle changes are easier to sustain in the long term. Some simple changes in how we eat can have profound effects on our health.
Not all snacks are bad. Go for snacks that include protein, fiber, and healthy fats. Good snacks also help curb sugar cravings. Snacks that are good to have on hand are those that will keep the stomach full throughout the day. Consider the Macro Fruit Free Muesli Bar and Classic Fruit & Nut Muesli Bar for great sources of fiber.
Switching to whole foods is also beneficial to one’s health. Due to minimal processing, they are loaded with vitamins, minerals, and nutrients that help keep the immune system and body strong. Try products that can be used in more ways than one such as Macro Tomato Garlic & Basil Chunky Pasta Sauce which can be used as a sauce for fish or chicken.
Superfoods are those that are rich in antioxidants, good fat, and fiber. Instead of foods that are high in sugar, consider superfoods like Macro Turmeric Latte and Macro Black Chia Seeds. Turmeric helps lower inflammation levels in the body and reduces the risk of health problems. Chia seeds on the other hand are packed with antioxidants and fiber which can help lower high blood pressure and regulate the digestive system.
