Top 5 Easiest Ways to Eat Healthily 

You can achieve weight loss and healthier living by eating healthy foods, getting enough sleep, and exercising regularly. Here are five easy ways to eat healthy today!

1) Don’t Skip Your Breakfast 

Most of us make time for food and beverages, but why not add eating breakfast into our daily routine? Not only does starting your day with a nutritious meal help you lose weight, but it can also help you live longer too. In one study, men who skipped breakfast were found to be four times more likely to die from heart disease than those who ate breakfast every day. Plus, research shows that people who don’t have their breakfast are more likely to overeat later in the day; if that sounds like you, start your morning right with a healthy and hearty meal—even if it means having an egg-white omelet at 11:00 A.M. Remember: fuel your body first thing in order to prevent cravings and overeating later in the day.

2) Drink More and More Water 

Drinking plenty of water helps your body perform better on a daily basis. Every cell in your body needs water, and when you're well-hydrated, you have more energy. Drinking a few extra glasses of water also gives you a feeling of fullness so that you're less likely to eat junk food when you get hungry. Plus, some research shows that drinking enough water can boost metabolism by as much as 30 percent for up to 16 hours after drinking it. If there's room in your budget, keep track of how many calories you drink every day—most sources suggest eight 8-ounce glasses or 10 cups total—which will help keep yourself well-hydrated without risking weight gain.

3) Sleep enough Every Day 


Sleep enough every day. Research suggests that when we sleep less than six hours a night, we tend to overeat as much as 500 extra calories daily — in our efforts to keep busy and make up for lost rest. Eating breakfast can also boost your metabolism and energy levels. If you don’t have time for a proper breakfast each morning, try munching on high-fiber cereal or snack bars that will tide you over until lunchtime. Try fruit smoothies with low-fat yogurt or milk; whole-grain toast with nut butter; chicken and vegetable soup; an English muffin pizza topped with veggies; or even a high-fiber salad topped with lean grilled chicken (instead of higher-calorie toppings like cheese).

4) Exercise on a Regular Basis 

Chances are, you know how important exercise is for your health. Being physically active can improve your mood, lower your heart disease and cancer risk, and even help you lose weight. And yet it’s so easy to make excuses not to exercise. You might be tired from working, you might not have time in your schedule, or maybe you don’t want people to see how out of shape you are. But if it’s just a lack of motivation that keeps you from hitting the gym—or going for a walk around your neighborhood—it’s possible to change that: Schedule time into your calendar: Make sure that every week, there’s some time reserved on your calendar specifically for exercise. 

5) Do not Deprive Yourself Completely 

To maintain a healthy lifestyle, you can’t deprive yourself completely of food that isn’t as healthy. A good rule of thumb is to make healthier choices when it comes to your meals. This means choosing fresh, whole foods instead of boxed or frozen ones. It also means choosing lean protein sources like fish and chicken over red meat and pork whenever possible. Even though it is tough, please remind yourself that you don’t have to give up everything you love; just make smarter choices about what you love. By doing so, your taste buds will adapt quickly and soon prefer foods with more flavor than those loaded with preservatives and additives.
