Healthy living tips
Wadi Food products are important ingredients to healthy, balanced diets. A few tips on healthy eating and living.
Food & Drink
• Take an apple to work: instead of looking for a bag of chips or a chocolate bar when feeling hungry, keep an apple in your bag for a quick, handy and low calorie snack.
• Drink water when you wake up and when you go to sleep: 8 glasses of water a day is the recommended intake that helps avoid fatigue, lack of concentration, and headache caused by dehydration. If you drink 2 glasses when you wake up and 2 before you sleep, you are only left with 4 to drink during the day.
• Boost your intake of Omega-3: Omega-3s have been medically proven to reduce the amount of fat in the blood and can help with depression, type 2 diabetes, fatigue, brittle hair and nails, joint pain, and the inability to concentrate. Food rich in Omega-3 include olive oil, walnuts, fish, beans, cauliflower and cabbage.
• Have a cup of hot cocoa: a drink of hot chocolate contains flavonoids that can keep blood platelets from clotting, and milk which is good for the bones.
Eating Habits
• Try not to eat in front of the TV or while reading a book as they act as a distraction that can lead to over-eating
• Eat in smaller plates or bowls, which will make the meal look larger while reducing the serving size
• Once done with your meal, move away from the dining table or the source of food.
Exercise
Bring in some exercise into your daily life by doing some of the following:
• Always take the stairs whenever you can.
• Choose a parking spot at the end of the car park area
• Take the household chores as an opportunity to exercise and put some music in the background
• Plan 20-30 minutes per day as a time for a physical activity you enjoy like walking, swimming, dancing, kick boxing or yoga.
