Fitness & Diet plans for Body Crunch
Following body crunch exercises in your daily routine is an effective of shedding those extras from your tummy areas. It also helps you to bring your lower body area in shape. But we must follow a good diet during body crunch exercises. Good health starts with a healthy diet and good nutrition. Incorporating sensible eating habits into your lifestyle now will help maintain your future well being and would make your routine of body crunch a complete success.
- A diet plan must have five portions of fruit and vegetables a day. Use organic and free-range produce whenever possible. You should try to decrease your intake of junk and processed foods while following body crunch exercises. Try to consume fresh foods and whole grains every day.
- Limit your intake of tea, caffeine and alcohol and drink plenty of good quality water. A good diet plan must avoid your intake of saturated fats (found in red meat, cheese, cream etc) but ensure sufficient intake of essential fatty acids (found in oily fish, nuts and seeds).
- Have only a moderate intake of sugar; use unrefined or fruit sugar or honey in place of refined sugar. Limit your salt intake and use herbal or low-sodium salts. Avoid preservatives and colorings when possible. In summer, it's recommended that lots of salads, vegetables grown above ground (such as peas and beans) and soft fruits are taken.
- In winter, root and other vegetables grown below ground (such as turnips, burdock and carrots) are advised. Eating out of season - for example, eating imported tropical fruits in winter - is considered inadvisable. All foods are classified according to their properties and their effects on the body, such as whether they're 'warming' or 'cooling' foods. If too many 'cool' foods, such as tropical fruits, are taken during winter, they will cool the body unduly making it more susceptible to 'cold' diseases such as poor circulation, colds or weak digestion. Taking lots of 'hot' foods in summer, on the other hand, will overheat the body and may aggravate conditions such as certain types of skin diseases and liver problems.
- Eat slowly and chew food thoroughly to increase saliva production. Take meals in a calm and quiet environment. Don’t do any other activity, such as reading, while eating. Don't drink water or other beverages while eating, as this can dilute the digestive juices in the stomach. Always leave a portion of the stomach empty at the end of a meal to allow for digestion. Avoid overeating and don't take heavy meals in the evening.
