3 TIPS TO STAY HYDRATED DURING SUMMER

Sat, 12 Dec 2020 19:09:56 GMT

In the hot summer days, you must try your best to prevent dehydration. Here are 3 tips that can help you stay hydrated in summer.

To overcome the negative effects of a heatwave, it is extremely important to drink sufficient water. Many people may still be dehydrated, despite the weather outside. It is because more time is spent indoors in air-conditioning halls and rooms, and people forget to drink water. It also upsets the electrolyte balance of the body. Electrolyte balance is important for maintaining pH and to keep the body hydrated. Sweating due to heat causes the body to lose a lot of electrolytes.

This article explains the signs and symptoms of dehydration and the best ways to hydrate at home quickly.

Understanding Different Kinds of Eating Behavior

Each cell, tissue, and structure of the human body needs water to function properly. Water helps regulate body temperature, transport nutrients, lubricate joints, circulate blood, and remove waste from the body. It means that your body cannot perform these functions normally when you are dehydrated, which occurs when you lose more fluid than you take in.

The symptoms and signs of dehydration include the following:

Dry mouth
Increased thirst
Dry skin
Tiredness
Headache
Dizziness
Urine color
Infrequent urination

If you are worried about your hydration status, here are the three best ways to rehydrate quickly.

1. Drink Water and Plenty of It!

While this is probably not surprising, drinking water is often the best and cheapest way to get hydrated. Unlike many other drinks, water contains no sugars or calories, making it ideal for drinking throughout the day, or specifically if you need to rehydrate - such as after a workout.

It should be noted that many factors, including genetics, cause some people to lose more sodium through sweating than others. If you often experience muscle cramps during exercise or sweat stings your eyes - you might be a salty sweater. If it applies to you, replace not only the fluids you lose through sweating but also the sodium, especially after intense or prolonged exercise in hot environments.

2. Drink Skimmed and Low-Fat Milk

Milk not only provides a variety of nutrients but also has excellent hydrating properties. It naturally contains a high concentration of electrolytes, which help balance the amount of water in your body. Studies have proven that skim and low-fat milk, as well as popular sports drinks, replenish water after strenuous exercise. While also supplying protein and other important nutrients.

3. Eat More Fruits and Vegetables

Fruits and vegetables, consisting of 80-99 percent water – make a perfect hydrating snack. By comparison, highly processed foods such as cereals, crackers, biscuits, and potato chips contain only 1-9 percent water. Fruits and vegetables with higher water content include:

Grapes
Oranges
Berries
Melons
Radish
Cabbage
Spinach
Lettuce

Store a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables and keep chopped melons in the fridge for easy access. Try making a nutrient-rich hydrating smoothie by combining your favorite fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables in a blender with milk or Greek yogurt.

The Takeaway

Dehydration occurs when your body loses more fluid than it takes in. For most people, drinking ‎water is the best way to replenish fluid and stay hydrated in summer. Other options include milk, fruits, vegetables, hydrating foods, and solutions.

If you are concerned about your or anyone else’s hydration status, please do not hesitate to talk to the healthcare provider.

Mindful Eating and Eating Decisions

Sat, 12 Dec 2020 18:06:39 GMT

The key to a healthy diet and lifestyle change is determination and constancy. Our human body desires and loves consistency. Mindful eating or eating consciously is a practice that helps you gain control over your eating habits. It has been shown to reduce overeating, lose weight, and contribute to your fitness. Unconscious eating patterns are the most common struggle and subject among clients. Usually, weight gain is unintentional and it could be the result of a busy life, mental pressure, emotional stress, and even mental weakness. All of this can lead to unexpected weight gain and unconscious eating behaviors.

Understanding Different Kinds of Eating Behavior

Unconscious eating can be recognized by emotional, physical, or mental causes and symptoms.

Emotional problems can drive unconscious eating and food dependence as a surviving mechanism.
A physical symptom of unconscious eating is weight gain, which may be caused by an injury, improper diet, or undesirable lifestyle changes.
Mental causes become apparent when you justify bad eating choices with statements like "I don't want to waste it” or "it was a tough day, I deserve it".

It is important to pay attention to these habits and correct them when trying to maintain consistency to improve a healthy lifestyle.

Most of the time you find yourself breaking into your junk food stash, in your kitchen that bought to preserve or eat sparingly. You usually eat a few pieces first and a few minutes or hours later you are back in the kitchen choosing the same stash. How about appetizers like salsa and chips when out for dinner? After about 10 minutes you notice that the whole chips basket is gone and you need more chips. These unconscious behaviors can harm the mind and body.

Not everyone is aware of the consequences of their eating choices and behaviors. When viewing calorie intake, the common myth is that they all are the same. Different sources of calories have alternative effects on hormones, metabolism rate, hunger, and expense. Hence, strict calorie counting is not crucial for weight loss, but consider changing the source of calories. It is necessary to pay attention to eating choices and the nutrients that are gained from them!

Mindful Eating

"Mindful eating is all about awareness. When you eat consciously, you slow down, pay attention to the food you eat, and like every single bite." - Susan Albers

The Mindful Eating Cycle

A great way to practice mindful eating is to understand your body - what it needs, how it feels, and your actions. As people eat for reasons other than physical hunger, the first question to ask is: "Why do I eat?"

Why do I eat? It can help you understand the causes other than physical hunger that you turn to food; it may include fatigue, stress, social events, and other reasons.

When do I eat? It may depend on physical hunger, but it may also depend on the hour/time of the day, a busy schedule, or mood.

What do I eat? This shows why you chose the food you choose. It can be nutrition, taste, comfort, or accessibility.

How do I eat? It specifies whether you are eating quickly, fast, covertly, or consciously.

Where do I spend my energy? Eating different kinds of food can cause sluggishness and sleepiness. Eating the right food can help increase energy levels and increase work efficiency.

This cycle is executed in the Nuviva Lifestyle Plan and helps promote fitness throughout your lifestyle.

The Takeaway

It is important for us not only to advise clients on the food they eat but also to break the way of thinking and lifestyle that dissatisfies them. Through this mindset and practice, it makes the process easier, more satisfying, and long-lasting for clients. The various stages of the entire procedure not only reduce sugars, calories, carbohydrates intake but also break the habit of unconscious eating and the development of mindful eating.

Exercise Vs Diet: Why Your Nutrition Is The Biggest Player In The Weight Loss Game

Given that 70% of American adults over 20 could be considered overweight, it’s essential to take the idea of health and weight loss seriously. Since most Americans are also very busy, managing a healthy amount of exercise vs diet is a difficult balance. Being able to cook yourself healthy meals every day takes time, as does making an effort to maintain a daily workout regiment.

When trying to manage your health, check out our guide to figuring out the balance between exercise and diet.

Lists are great ways to stay on track. Write down some big things you want to accomplish and some smaller things, too.

Check the list regularly

Don’t forget to check in and see how you’re doing. Just because you don’t achieve the big goals right away doesn’t mean you’re not making progress.

Reward yourself

When you succeed in achieving a goal, be it a big one or a small one, make sure to pat yourself on the back.

Think positively

Positive thinking is a major factor in success. So instead of mulling over things that didn’t go quite right, remind yourself of things that did.
