Veggies and Fruits :The Right Way To Feel Light

We have heard the loud cry on television, social media or even from our well-wishers about the pros of eating our vegetables and fruits. Not only are they super nutritious but also filled with a number of benefits. But one of the most extraordinary benefits they have is that it keeps you feeling light.

Packaged food or food items made from all-purpose flour make you feel heavy. Not only are they adding more kilograms to your weighing machine but they also make you feel indolent and one feels lethargic after consuming them. One can actually notice a change in their mood after consuming a whole bag of fried chips which makes one feel lethargic and lazy.

As we become more lethargic we become inactive and get attracted towards consuming unhealthy food items which add up to our laziness factor. We see ourselves spending more time on the sofa and bed which adds up more fat to our waist lines and we eventually turn into couch potatoes. Spending more time sitting on the sofa can become a causeway for lifestyle diseases like diabetes and high blood pressure which paves way for other deadly diseases. Once this addictive cycle takes hold on one’s everyday life there is no looking back.

Fruits and veggies consumed in place of these burdening food items can help one in not only feeling lighter but more vigorous and becomes vital for us. Most doctors say one should consume at least two fruits a day and that too seasonal. In one’s daily diet one should consume one leafy vegetable and one seasonal vegetable daily, this will aid in regulating the functions of the body and has powerful advantages which will have long term benefits.

A certain amount of fibre, a good dose of vitamins and minerals and a satisfactory amount of iron is needed in one’s diet along with the required amount protein.

So instead of picking up that packet of biscuits and finishing it in one go, try and go for cucumber sticks or even spinach crisps which are power houses and offer a plethora of benefits. So, don’t forget to your fruits and veggies!
