Food Nutrition Tips
Food nutrition facts are unlikely to make the hit parade ... but they can be a whole lot healthier! Most of us don't eat the perfect diet all the time and most of us have our struggles with food. But if beauty and fitness are also a part of who we are, knowing a little bit about our health and food nutrition can help enormously.
Food nutrition can be enjoyable - a sought-after part of our routine. Those who equate food nutrition with medication for treatment of binge eating disorder or compulsive bingeing and purging are on the wrong planet. Food "cravings" are actually fairly normal at certain times - and simply being aware of that fact can kick-start your decision to live in health.
Fatigue and stress are often the culprits when food and nutrition get out of whack, particularly around bed-time. When food cravings are an option and our guard is down or stress is up, what starts out as a bedtime snack can quickly become a feeding frenzy. And most of us go to bed afterwards and wonder what happened. Perhaps surprisingly, such food bingeing is not about satisfying a food nutritional need or imbalance. It's more emotionally related.
So why not focus there to handle this threat to our good health?
A quick checklist would include:
- remove the temptation,
- get enough sleep,
- investigate alternative forms of nutrition,
- build a support network,
- identify what triggers damaging emotions,
- never skip a meal,
- exercise at least 150 minutes each week,
- check whether any medications may be stimulating your appetite, and find alternatives.
