5 healthy habits for lazy people

Does tak­ing care of your health require a lot of effort? Not at all. You can intro­duce healthy habits into your lifestyle almost imper­cep­ti­bly even for your­self. And most impor­tant­ly, the ben­e­fits from them are colos­sal.

If you freeze fruits, veg­eta­bles and berries, it will great­ly sim­pli­fy your life. So you will always know that you have prod­ucts at home from which you can cook this or that dish. In addi­tion, in the freez­er, they will not dete­ri­o­rate dur­ing long-term stor­age. Such “semi-fin­ished prod­ucts” can be used in the prepa­ra­tion of cere­als, soups, stews.

Down­load your favorite series. One that grabs you from the first minute and does­n’t let go until the very last episode. Force your­self to watch it only when you are run­ning on an orbit track or a tread­mill or exer­cis­ing on an exer­cise bike. Even just pump­ing the press and watch­ing the show is more fun than doing it in silence.

Stud­ies con­duct­ed by Amer­i­can sci­en­tists Bri­an Wansink and Kurt van Itter­sum show that small plates and bowls help us to be sat­is­fied with small­er por­tions of food. And, con­verse­ly, if you eat a lit­tle, but from large plates, the brain thinks that you are starv­ing your­self.

Snack­ing is a mat­ter of life. You need to come to terms with the idea that you will nev­er be able to com­plete­ly aban­don them. For a while — yes, but then the neu­ro­sis asso­ci­at­ed with food always takes its toll. We need to eat when we are hun­gry, sad, upset. There­fore, it is bet­ter to make sure that the food that gets into your mouth is healthy and healthy in advance. Every Sun­day, pack your­self a bas­ket with healthy food — dried fruits, car­rots, nuts, apples.

Water is the life-giv­ing basis with­out which our body can­not func­tion prop­er­ly. How much water do you need? Try to drink about 1.5–2 liters of water per day, and even more if you are active­ly involved in sports or suf­fer from heat. A lot depends on the amount of clean water in the body. First, metab­o­lism. Under the con­di­tion of dehy­dra­tion, it is hope­less­ly low. Every cell in your body needs water to car­ry out chem­i­cal reac­tions, which means nour­ish­ment and release of ener­gy. With­out water, no organ will func­tion nor­mal­ly. Sec­ond­ly, your skin will be the first to suf­fer from dehy­dra­tion. What is the first rule of beau­ty? That’s right, hydra­tion.

When should you drink water? As soon as you feel thirsty. For you to under­stand, a feel­ing of dry mouth is not the first sign of thirst, but a very seri­ous sig­nal of dehy­dra­tion that has already begun. Drink water in small sips: absorp­tion begins in the mouth. Do not drink water less than 15 min­utes before meals or 15 min­utes after.
