Living healthy is all about the balance, “Something as simple as taking off the skin from your chicken can already be helpful” Antonette added. Simple alternations in how you eat can have a huge impact on your health, for example sugar, less sugar means a healthier lifestyle. And if you have a sweet tooth you can train your body to crave for less by gradually lowering your sugar intake. Although this might be a hard thing to do it will definitely pay off in the long run.
“Eating healthy has many positive things to offer. It can lower cholesterol and blood pressure. Furthermore it will give you more energy and boost your immune system to protect you from viruses” says Antonette. When People Shift to a healthy diet,it isn’t as hard as it might seem.You just have to eat more low GI food and vegetables that will help you already. “Also don’t skip a meal; you will only slow your metabolism down, so you won’t lose fat or be healthy”. According to Antonette and Bernice van Heerden, the HPCSA strongly wants to warn that High protein diets can be very dangerous. Sure you lose weight fast, but it can have a very negative impact in the long run. Another thing is that starch is not such a bad thing as people make it.
