Incorporate Berries into Your Breakfast

Berries are great foods that are rich in nutrients that are important for digestion and our brain. Also, berries help prevent diseases because they are a great source of vitamin C, which can boost your immunity. 

Berries are a fresh source of produce that will keep you fuller in a healthy way compared to dry fruits and processed cereals. You can add a half cup of berries to a smoothie, eat them with unsweetened yoghurt or with oatmeal for breakfast.

Daily Green Food

Ensure you eat a daily green fruit or vegetable to get yourself healthier without much effort. You can eat one cup of broccoli at dinner or a cup of spinach incorporated into your smoothie. 

At dinner, you could eat cup of green beans or leafy kale with potatoes and some seasoning. Whether its breakfast, lunch, or dinner – and whatever you choose to eat – just ensure it’s green and natural. 

Drink Plenty of Water

Remember our bodies need water to function well. Therefore, it is good practice if you can drink a glass of water first thing after you wake up. 

Water helps flush out toxins from our bodies, so it’s better if your body flushes out toxins before putting in coffee or tea. Even throughout the day, keep drinking water and keep your body hydrated, which promotes good body functioning.

Cook Your Own Food

It is advisable for you to cook your own food as opposed to buying take away. This is because you customize your food to your body needs. 

Prepare your own simple meals, like soups, vegetable salads. Cook your own food if you are on a wellness journey.

Use Herbs Instead of Salt

Rather than using salt, which can cause a number of health issues, you might want to try a mix of herbs for flavor. Try cinnamon, cardamom and ginger to spice up your breakfast. 

For your lunch, use sage, black pepper, Italian seasonings, turmeric, and cayenne pepper. Spice up your dinner with garam masala, basil, thyme, oregano and pepper. 

These herbs are great anti-oxidants, anti-cancer benefits and mood boosting benefits. Avoid salt because it can cause high blood pressure.

Avoid Sugary Food

Sugary foods are not advisable if you are starting your health and wellness journey because sugars are processed, unhealthy, and addictive. Instead of drinking or eating food with sugars, opt for natural sugars from fruits, like apples, bananas, berries, oranges and carrots. 

Let your tongue get used to natural sugars because processed sugars messes your digestion, ages your skin and makes you tired and moody.

20-30 Minute Jog or Walk

This will be easier if you wake up 30 minutes earlier than usual to walk or jog daily. Walking or jogging daily increases serotonin levels that increase energy levels in the body. This also increases metabolism levels that aids in weight loss.

You want to try and stand and walk in between breaks to avoid sitting for too long. You will need to stand and stretch your legs, back and also relax your brain. 

If you are talking on phone, talking to a friend, watching TV, or eating a snack, try to do it while standing. Sitting for long causes brain fog, fatigue, slows down metabolism, and increases your insulin levels.

The Bottom Line

Starting the journey to fitness and wellness will be achievable if you choose to do simple daily tasks. You don’t need a lot of time, heavy equipment, or any money.
