CHANDIGARH

Intake of calories depends on various factors including age, metabolism, physical activity and many other things. Doctors recommend generally, the daily calorie intake for women is 2,000 a day and 2,500 calories for men.

Two options are available in which one is to maintain a healthy weight; you need to balance the number of calories you consume through food and liquid with the number of calories you burn through physical activity.

Another thing is to lose weight healthily, for that you need to utilize more energy than you absorb by eating a healthy, balanced diet with fewer calories and increasing your physical activity.

Calories you need to maintain your body: If you are likely to gain weight then you need to eat more calories as per the requirement.

  • Taking a 500-calorie meal including fruits and vegetables have more health benefits and will keep you full for a longer duration than snacks.
  • Breakfast should be heavy, which could help with weight loss and maintenance.
  • Around 20 percent of the energy is used by the brain.

 

Adopt the healthy lifestyle to maintain your healthy weight.

Eat breakfast: In the morning, eat protein and healthy fat breakfast including eggs, dairy products and some fresh fruits that can keep your stomach full and help prevent snacking.

Regular Meals: Having regular meals helps you in burning calories more effectively and cut off the snacking.

Fruits and Vegetables: In five a day, eat fruits and vegetables as a tasty snack. They are enriched in nutrients and fibre and on another hand low in fat and calories.

Exercise: The best way to burn out the extra calories is to exercise daily. A brisk walk is easy for most people to do and is beneficial. Exercises boost heart health and strength.

Stay hydrated: Fluids protect your body from illness. In fluids do not include alcohol and sodas as they are harmful to the health. When cravings arise for the juice or sweetened beverages, switch to coconut water and fresh juice. You can also make juice at home itself.

Don’t eat 2 hours before sleep: When you eat just before sleep then you welcome many health problems such as indigestion, acidity and it also increases your weight.
