8 Reminders About Your Body Image, Burning Calories, and True Health.
I’ll hear that lifting and yoga aren’t good enough workouts because they don’t burn enough calories.
The scale dictated my happiness each day.
I turned down events with friends because the food wasn’t “healthy” enough, and spent way too much mental energy thinking about what my body looked like.
8 reminders about your body image, burning calories, and true health: 1.
You are so much more than how your body looks.
Being thinner doesn’t make you healthier, and you can’t change your bone structure by burning more calories.
The goal should not be to eat less, it should be to eat the amount that your body needs to function well and have good energy.
And some days you’ll eat a little more than you need, some times maybe less.
You don’t have to burn off everything you eat.
Cardio is great for heart health, but it isn’t the only exercise worth doing.
15 Iron-Rich Foods for Healthy Energy Levels
[8] It’s always best to get your nutrition from natural sources.
Here are 15 of the top vegan food sources of iron.
They contain an abundance of antioxidants, folate, and vitamins A, C, E, and K. Most dark leafy greens also have a high iron content.
One cup of cooked spinach contains over 6 mg of the mineral.
Dried Beans Beans are an excellent source of iron, though the exact content varies by type.
Dark chocolate has a wonderfully high iron content.
Pumpkin Seeds Already a favorite autumnal treat, there are good reasons to start eating pumpkin seeds year-round.
A cup of cooked quinoa contains almost 3 mg of iron.
[12, 28, 29] Supplementing With Iron For most people, a diet that includes plenty food-derived iron should be sufficient to prevent iron deficiency.
[30] I personally recommend Iron Fuzion™, Global Healing Center’s own iron supplement.
5 Intermittent Fasting Methods: Which One Is Right for You?
For some, intermittent fasting, or going a longer period of time — usually between 14 and 36 hours — with few to no calories, can be a lot easier than you may think.
How It Works: Fast for 24 hours once or twice per week.
During the 24 hour fast, which creator Brad Pilon prefers to call a “24 break from eating,” no food is consumed, but you can drink calorie-free beverages.
Time it however works best for you, and adjust your timing as your schedule changes,” he says.
Eating this way will reduce overall calorie intake without really limiting what you’re able to eat — just how often, according to Eat Stop Eat.
Started by: John Romaniello and Dan Go Best for: Gym rats who love cheat days.
This method takes the best parts of Eat Stop Eat, The Warrior Diet and Leangains, and combines it all into one plan.
— followed by a 36-hour fast (which may be not-so-yay for some).
How It Works: This one’s easy: Eat very little one day, and eat like normal the next.
Of course, fasting — regardless of the method — isn’t for everyone.
Why Liver Is a Nutrient-Dense Superfood
What Is Liver?
It is typically the largest internal organ and has many important functions, including: Processing digested food from the gut Storing glucose, iron, vitamins and other essential nutrients Filtering and clearing drugs and toxins from the blood Liver, along with other organ meats, used to be a very popular food.
A small amount of liver provides well over 100% of the RDI for many essential nutrients.
Summary: Liver provides more than the RDI for vitamin B12, vitamin A, riboflavin and copper.
While plenty of foods contain high-quality protein or vitamins and minerals, no single food contains the same variety or amount of nutrients as liver.
What’s more, eating foods that are high in nutrients but low in calories has been shown to reduce hunger (18).
Summary: Per calorie, liver is one of the most nutrient-dense foods around.
While liver is high in cholesterol, this isn’t an issue for most people.
For these people, eating cholesterol-rich foods can increase blood cholesterol (22).
Summary: Common concerns about liver include that it’s high in cholesterol and may store toxins.
Why Keeping The Weight Off Is Harder Than Losing It + Exactly What To Do About It
Once you’ve lost weight and no longer need to follow the plan, you soon realize real that weight maintenance is hard and it’s easy to go back to old habits, risking weight gain.
Breaking a big picture into smaller, more manageable ideas or steps seems like a great way to live a healthier life.
A good example (that I see all the time) would be going gluten-free just because you read that it helps you lose weight.
For most people, the problem isn’t gluten; it’s how much you’re eating, how often you indulge, and the quality of your food choices.
Figure out what an overall healthy diet looks like (hint: more vegetables and real food, fewer refined carbohydrates and processed foods), how to balance indulgences so you don’t feel deprived, and how to be more active.
People often make lower calorie choices but miss ways to make it healthy and satisfying.
Instead, approach smoothies and other meals with a healthy balance of carbohydrates, healthy fats, and lean protein.
When you don’t address the root cause of weight gain and unhealthy food habits, you’ll probably have a hard time staying motivated.
Losing weight is a great accomplishment, but maintaining it long term is where people struggle most.
To find success, focus on what makes a healthy diet (like nutritious food and balanced meals), break it down into manageable habits, be consistent but allow indulgences, and make it easier on yourself by avoiding temptation.
