Meditation!

Meditation!

Meditation is one such method, and there is some scientific evidence to support its efficacy for stress management and health improvement.

In one study of 48 persons with high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or both, researchers discovered that meditation reduced LDL (bad) cholesterol and inflammation when compared to the control group. Participants in the meditation group also reported increased emotional and physical well-being.

Keep Tracks of Your Intake!

Keep Tracks of Your Intake!

Because calculating your portion sizes and calorie intake is not trustworthy, the only way to know exactly how many calories you eat is to measure your food and use a nutrition tracker.

Tracking can also provide information about your protein, fibre, and vitamin intake. Though some studies have established a relationship between calorie counting and disordered eating, there is some evidence that those who measure their food consumption are more effective at losing weight and keeping it off.

Don’t Worry About The Saturated Fats!

Don’t Worry About The Saturated Fats!

Saturated fat has long been debated, and it was once considered to be a major cause of heart disease.

New research has called into doubt the link between saturated fat consumption and heart disease. Saturated fat appears to have little or a minor favourable influence on overall health as long as your total diet is healthy and nutritionally balanced.

Having a Proper Sleep!

Having a Proper Sleep!

It is impossible to overestimate the value of obtaining adequate quality sleep.

Furthermore, lack of sleep is one of the most powerful individual risk factors for weight growth and obesity. People who do not get enough sleep prefer to eat foods that are higher in fat, sugar, and calories, which can contribute to undesirable weight gain.

Limited Sugar Contained Drinks!

Limited Sugar Contained Drinks!

Unfortunately, multiple studies have found that sugar-sweetened drinks increase the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes even in those who do not have extra body fat.

Sugar-sweetened beverages are also particularly dangerous for children, as they can contribute not only to childhood obesity but also to illnesses that do not generally manifest until maturity, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
