#best foods for health

Cooking healthy food is an act of self-love. Eating well and enough is a form of self-respect. Both are privileges—stay grateful.

💗Diet Smart - Stop Feeling Hungry💗

we simply deserve beauty and peace

1. Hydrate

Sometimes hunger is just thirst in disguise.

Sip on water, herbal teas or infused beverages to keep cravings at bay. Plus, your skin clears, flushes out toxins and it‘ll give you a natural glow

2. Hunger Shields

Lean proteins, such as chicken, tofu or lentils, and fiber-packed foods, like chia seeds, oats and veggies keep you full.

They are a must-have in every diet.

+ Smart Snacking

healthy and satisfying snacks come hand in hand with a rich diet. A hand full of almonds, a boiled egg, a Banana or apple slices with nut butter can be mighty. Just be extra careful with the amount, especially on nuts. They are healthy, but have lots of calories that can easily bring you out of your deficite.

3. Slow Down

Chew slowly, savor the flavors. Your body needs time to register fullness. Eating is an act of mindflussness, create the time you need. Appreciate the fact that you are able to have a meal on your plate. Be thankful, you are blessed 💕🙏🏻

4. Embrace Volume Eating

Load your plate with low-calorie nutrient-dense foods like leafy greens, cucumbers, carrots, broccoli or else. You can always add veggies to your plate. They are filling and healthy.

Also, choose Potatos over rice and noodles. I will die on that hill. They are low calorie and more than filling and low in calorie.

5. Search Distraction

Hunger can easily just be boredom.

Dive into a book, sketch, take a walk, study, go for a walk, water your plants, chat with friends and family.

Keeps your body and mind busy.

6. Respect Real Hunger

Eating is a blessing. Respect your bodys function and fulfill its needs. The fact that you choose a nutritious meal is the sign of a strong mindset. Dont punish your body with damaging food, such as sweets and sugary liquors, just to satisfy a craving. It deserves the right treatment. Care for your body by eating and that in a healthy, filling way.💗💗💗

"Fed is best. This isn’t just for babies. Everyone needs to eat, and food is a human right. It’s a privilege to be able to choose from various forms of food. It’s a privilege to be told to just eat the cookie because it tastes good. Some people, because of food insecurity, are thinking about how to get in their next meal. Some people are struggling with job security and have multiple mouths to feed and need a way to make their dollar stretch. I was once asked during an interview what was the key to health I could tell everyone. I simply replied “Money.” Because there is no universal way to be healthy. Needless to say, that wasn’t the answer they were looking for, and they finally got me to say “Eat a variety of foods,” but the secret really is money."

Doctor Beverly Crusher @SpaceDocMom Your era's media tell you not to eat this or that or the other thing even as your era's medical pages put out recipes labelled as "healthy" that contain those exact things. No wonder you're confused about food all the time. Eat what works for you. Fed is best! emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked, spoon 7:03 PM · Jul 15, 2024

Mindset Shift #3: You Need to Learn How to Plan and Cook Your Meals—There’s No Way Around It!

Did You Know?

Studies show that for the same number of calories consumed, people eating processed foods are more likely to experience weight gain compared to those eating whole foods.

Here’s why this happens:

Thermic Effect of Food (TEF):

• Whole foods like lean proteins, fruits, and vegetables require more energy to digest, absorb, and metabolize.

• Processed foods are often pre-digested (e.g., refined carbs), meaning your body spends less energy breaking them down, storing more as fat.

• A study published in Food & Nutrition Research (2010) found that a meal of whole foods increased energy expenditure by 50% compared to a meal of processed foods of the same calorie count.

Satiety and Nutrient Density:

• Whole foods are richer in fiber, protein, and water, which keep you fuller longer.

• Processed foods are often calorie-dense but nutrient-poor, leading to overeating.

Blood Sugar Spikes:

• Processed foods often cause quick spikes and crashes in blood sugar, triggering hunger and cravings sooner than whole foods would.

Learning to Cook Can Be Daunting, But Here’s How to Start:

Start Small: Focus on mastering 2–3 simple recipes you enjoy. Build confidence by perfecting these before moving on to more.

Meal Prep Basics: Plan meals for the week, batch-cook staples like grilled chicken or roasted veggies, and keep your pantry stocked with essentials like spices, whole grains, and healthy fats.

Keep It Simple: Use minimal ingredients and techniques at first. For example, a stir-fry with fresh veggies, protein, and a simple sauce can be quick and nutritious.

Get Curious About Food:

To make better food choices, it’s important to read labels and understand nutritional information. Here’s how:

Start with Ingredients: The fewer the ingredients, the better. Avoid items with a long list of unrecognizable additives.

Watch for Hidden Sugar and Sodium: Processed foods often sneak in sugar under names like maltose or high-fructose corn syrup. Check for sodium content, especially in packaged meals.

Focus on Nutrient Density: Look for foods high in protein, fiber, and healthy fats while being lower in refined carbs.

Be Wary of “Low Calorie/Low Sugar/Low Fat” Options:

Many “low” options can have unintended consequences:

1. Increased Hunger:

• Artificial sweeteners or fat replacements often leave you unsatisfied, leading to overeating.

• A study in Obesity Reviews (2010) showed that artificial sweeteners might increase appetite in some individuals.

2. Insulin Imbalance: Sugar substitutes can trigger insulin release even without calories, causing blood sugar instability.

3. Hidden Additives: Low-calorie or low-fat foods often replace natural fats or sugars with artificial additives that don’t support your health.

Reframe your mindset about cooking: it’s not a chore—it can be a fun meditative self-care experience.

Cooking engages all five senses, requiring focus on the present moment, which can have a calming effect on your nervous system. Here’s why:

1. Sensory Stimulation:

• The aroma of spices, the sound of sizzling pans, the texture of fresh ingredients, the sight of vibrant colors, and the taste of the final dish all ground you in the moment.

• Sensory activities like these can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which promotes relaxation and reduces stress.

2. Mindfulness in Action:

• Cooking requires concentration on specific steps—chopping, measuring, mixing—which can act as a form of mindfulness, quieting racing thoughts.

• A study in Frontiers in Psychology (2014) found that mindfulness-based activities, even in small doses, improve mood and reduce anxiety.

3. Creative Outlet: Experimenting with flavors and presentation can turn cooking into a form of self-expression, which enhances mental well-being.

4. Sense of Accomplishment: Completing a meal, especially one you’ve planned and cooked yourself, fosters a sense of pride and satisfaction, boosting confidence.

All of this to say, making time for cooking and learning how to do it is not an option to lead a healthy lifestyle. Find cooking influencers who inspire you to try new recipes and offer advice for beginners. Get a beginner friendly cooking book with recipes you like and make it a journey to complete as many recipes during the year. You’ll soon recognize the common patterns in cooking and will be able to trust your abilities to nourish yourself in no time!

I ate half a serving of some really really good pesto pasta in the evening. Just rocketed out of bed at 3 AM after an hour or so of intense rounds of pain and I’m not going to go into details but holy shit I wish I never ate more than a couple bites of it and just brought a smoothie or soup to the restaraunt instead this is AWFUL. Literally hauled myself into the bathtub with warm water just to breathe.

Holidays are a good time to remind you that food has no moral value. You aren't "good" for eating one thing or "bad" for eating another. Some foods are healthier than others but even that varies from person to person. Eat food. Enjoy life. Comfort food has real benefits. emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked, spoon

Hey I'm sure *you* know but most of the information you see online about health and food is LIES meant to make you feel ashamed and bad and diet culture is extremely tied to white supremacy. Food and health are extremely individual experiences and not one approach fits everyone. Food is morally neutral as is body size. I can't believe the amount of blatant health misinformation I see online, and in person at most medical care facilities. Anyone trying to get you to eat their way and only their way is SELLING you something, whether for your money or your sense of self-esteem. Shame makes people easier to control, so when someone is repeatedly making me feel that way I look into their motives. The thought that all diet culture was just being advertised to made it easier for me to get away from those thoughts and compulsions around food because I hateee the feeling of someone trying to manipulate me into buying something.
