Bisnis.com, JAKARTA – Overeating and poor diet can cause a person to gain weight and damage long-term health. It’s time for you to change bad eating habits by following these steps.
It is undeniable that eating habits are the main reason why people cannot lose weight or complain about health problems. Although exercise is important, controlling your diet and eating habits is also necessary to lead a healthy life.
Reported from Nagaland Post, Monday (20/9/2021) here are 10 ways to control eating habits for a healthier life:
- Chew gum while shopping
Maybe you’ve heard that you shouldn’t go grocery shopping on a hungry stomach. As a workaround, you may need sugar-free gum before you go shopping.
According to some studies, when you chew gum, you will feel less hungry and want to buy junk food. As a result, you can buy fewer high-calorie snacks, such as chips, and buy healthier foods, such as vegetables.
- Choose healthy food first
If you’re eating at home or at a restaurant, start filling your plate with the healthiest foods first.
Research shows that generally diners at buffets tend to take larger portions of the first few foods they see. Therefore, choose healthy foods such as vegetables or whole grains before you choose meat and fatty sides.
- Buy with cash
When you buy something and hand over the payment in cash, you start to think for a moment or two. For example, when students are asked to use cash to pay for a less healthy meal like cake, they think twice about it, and often take a healthier meal.
