Check out some of my latest nutrition tips! Here are the #TipTuesday tips posted on Instagram this month!
It’s Tuesday, so here’s my tip: be aware of nutrition news, but remember that healthy food choices ALWAYS matter… First we were told weight is determined by calories in and calories out {Food – Exercise= weight}, then it was genetics {WHEN IN DOUBT, BLAME YOUR PARENTS}, and now- the newest potential weight contributor is the “gut microbiome”… These tens of trillions of “bacteria” living in our intestines aid in digestion and growing research shows they may even play a role in energy storage and expenditure (AKA, weight).. Since this research is new and evolving (as most is), if weight loss is the goal- remember that healthy eats have been proven effective time and time again (fruits, veg, whole grains, beans, nuts, seeds, read my blog.. LINK IN BIO) AND stay tuned for what the researchers say next!
#TipTuesday is here, and here’s my tip: Understand what “bloating” is” and then make optimal food choices this holiday season so you don’t end up like my bro NAT- oh yea and beverage choices count too (sorry Nat- we’ll discuss that one after you turn the big 21)
“Bloating” is abdominal distention, or swelling, which is a result of gas build up in your stomach. And tips to beat that bloat- 1- Avoid carbonated drinks (soda, beer, seltzer)- the bubbles are an automatic bloat sentence. 2- Instead, drink water – and lots of it, which will provide relief by helping to pass whatever is causing belly troubles. 3- Change your diet SLOWLY to prevent chronic bloating associated with constipation- more fruits and veggies and whole grains. And if you are sensitive to some notoriously gas producing cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower and brussel sprouts- try more easily digested veg like spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms, celery and carrots. 4- Be wary of sugar free foods, sugar free candies, diet drinks and the like- these have artificial sweeteners that are difficult to digest and cause gas build up!
Yep, it’s #TipTuesday and if you’re traveling this holiday season, I say HYDRATE!…
Airplanes have pressurized cabins that are also low in humidity– which is great for your hair (so long, frizz💆🏻), but can also result in dehydration. When flying, 1️⃣aim for at least eight ounces of fluid per hour- preferably unsweetened beverages like water, seltzer and tea; 2️⃣eat foods high in water such as veggies (pack baby carrots, sugar snap peas and celery), fruit (think portable like oranges or apples) and if avail- low sodium soups; 3️⃣🙊limit in flight cocktails which have a diuretic {and thus dehydrating} effect.
