Spring Break is too close to count, and if you are going to a tropical destination you may be freaking out. The beach body that you may or may not have had in the summer is long gone. Between the holidays and the cold weather, it might need a little work to get back in shape. But warmer weather is on it's way. So, here are some helpful tips to eat and be a little healthier before spring break and the warmer weather hits.
1. Grab a bunch of friends
Friend and family support is very important, they will help you stick to your goals. Also, encourage them to be apart of their healthy habits. Push each other and keep on going.
2. Limit intake of sugary foods and drinks
Now it's a bad idea to completely go cold turkey on some of your guilty pleasures, but keep track of how much sugary foods and drinks you consume. Those high sugar foods might taste good, but they won't feel good after a workout.
3. Keep hydrated
This is probably the number one thing most people don't do, is drink enough water. Yes you might have to use the bathroom every 15 minutes, but drinking enough water will help with skin elasticity, memory functions, and body temperature control.
4. Eat fiber
Fiber generally has a stigma to it about how it makes you go to the bathroom, but just remember it is essential to keep a healthy body weight. But there are so many positives, it can lower cholesterol, controls blood sugar levels and it's in most natural foods, such as vegetables, fruits, and grains.
5. Never Grocery Shop when you are hungry
This is really dangerous and you will find yourself going down the aisles like the salty and sweet filled ones. Make a list of all the foods you need and grab them and go.
6. Start a workout routine
Humans like to have a routine, so develop one for your workout and stick to it. Eating healthy will keep your energy high and you will get to the gym on days where you didn't think you could after a stressful day at work/school.
