EAT HEALTHY, STAY SEXY

Sexy means something different to each person. There’s no rulebook for what people find attractive in a person. A beautiful face and a warm smile are irresistible to many.   Other traits which people find attractive include body shape, sense of humor, the pitch or timber of one’s voice, a nice personality and the list goes on.  What do you find sexy?

For me I find fitness and yes, the muscles, extremely appealing. A part of it for me is the absolute discipline which it takes to set a goal and stick to it.  Ridiculous?

A proper diet and exercise can help you to look good, attractive and live ‘your sexy’. A balanced diet provides your body with the correct amount of nutrients. There is an endless variety of delicious and healthy food that helps a person in feeling good and looking their best.

For those of us who wants to maintain good body weight, the secret lies in both the kitchen and gym (but mostly in the kitchen J)

Healthy Diet

Here’s some food to consider:

• • Dairy – products which are rich in calcium and vitamins. According to research, the intake of high-fat dairy products is associated with a lower hazard of weight gain over time
  • Grass-fed meats – did you know that if the cows are grass-fed the contains more Vitamin K2. Vitamin K2 is considered important for heart and bones. It protects from different cardiovascular diseases.

• • Fruit – Fruits has been recognized as a good source of minerals and vitamins. The intake of fresh fruits plays a great role in preventing vitamin C and vitamin A deficiencies. The intake of fruits helps in reducing the risk of chronic diseases.  Eating fruits is considered beneficial for the human body. They are considered useful and nutritious. Drink apple cider vinegar first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. It helps in keeping the stomach flat – Yes I am right, try and see the result.

• • Healthy Fats – fish, nuts, chia seeds, etc. Yup, healthy fats are good for us. Both the yolk and white of an egg are rich in nutrients. The yolk also contains cholesterol, essential fatty acids, and fat-soluble vitamins. Eggs are an important and all-around ingredient for cooking, as their scrupulous chemical makeup is the glue of many important baking reactions. Some research indicate that eating eggs can help prevent a person from heart diseases. Eating eggs will provide zeaxanthin and unique antioxidants which are considered important for keeping the eyes, nails, and hairs healthy and strong for a long time. I find eggs really easy to prepare, and of course. being strong in protein is added benefit for feeding muscles
  • Vegetables – eating vegetables helps to reduce the risk of some chronic diseases as vegetables provide vital nutrients. Most vegetables are naturally low in fat and calories, so if you want to manage your weight, find vegetables that you lie to eat.  No vegetables have cholesterol (at least none that I know of…).  Vegetables provide potassium, dietary fiber, folate (folic acid), vitamin A, and vitamin C.  Sweet potatoes, white potatoes, white beans, tomatoes, beet greens, soybeans, lima beans, spinach, lentils, kidney beans are rich in potassium.  Diets rich in potassium may help to maintain healthy blood pressure.  In addition , the dietary fiber from vegetables, can help to reduce blood cholesterol levels and may lower risk of heart disease.  Fiber is also important for proper bowel function. It helps reduce constipation and diverticulosis.

Healthy foods provide healthy skin, hair and nails but most importantly you really feel great when you eat well. Eat food in small portions and cut down on the sweetened drinks. All things in moderation.

If we want to keep not just looking good but feeling good, let’s eat well to live well.  Live in your ‘own sexy’.  However you define that.  Keep a positive attitude and live your life to the fullest.
