Simple Body Balance Tips
1. Cut out the white stuff
The easiest way to lose weight and improve your health? Ditch the white stuff! Most white foods (bread, rice, pasta, sugar, flour) are primarily made up of refined carbs and empty calories, so cutting them out of your diet is one of the quickest ways to shed
pounds and improve your well-being, Dr. Oz says.
There are a few exceptions to the rule, including egg whites, cauliflower, and fish, he
says. Those are the only white foods you should have on hand.
2. Get Your Daily Dose of Vitamin D and Exercise Vitamin D helps your body break down nutrients, helping get the good stuff to go where it needs to, and keep more of the fat and bad stuff from going where you do not want it. Also, 30 minutes of exercise 5 days a week is all they say you need to keep weight off, keep your muscles tuned up, and keep type 2 diabetes at bay. Depending on your level of fitness, this could be a walk after dinner, playing Frisbee, all the way up to going to the gym, or playing a sport. And yes Golf fits into this category
3. Drink More Water There's a reason Dr. Oz can't omit this expected tip from the list. Drinking water is so imperative for staying healthy, energized, and even losing weight. There are so many reasons to stay hydrated—hunger is often disguised as thirst, it boosts your metabolism, and water is the best energy drink available, he says.
4. Delay Dessert "Avoid sweets directly after a meal since sugar disrupts the absorption of nutrients," Dr. Oz says. The best time for a sweet treat is about two hours after you finish your meal. Maybe take that walk after dinner and then come back and go get that dessert. And when it comes to what you eat, try the good doctor's go-to dessert: dark chocolate.
5. Make Breakfast a Priority Breakfast is still the most important meal of the day! "Skipping the first meal of the day can increase risk for obesity more than fourfold," Dr. Oz says. "If you don't eat right when you wake up, your body senses a famine is coming and slows your metabolism to compensate. Then, when your body is presented with food later, it's ravenous and wants to pack it in, leading to bingeing with a slow metabolism—a recipe for weight gain."
6. Get enough sleep The brain craves carbohydrates when you're tired, the quick energy they provide. But Carbs also pack on the pounds
7. Pray Well because prayer helps everything
