If Eating Healthy is Your Resolution for 2017, Read This<\/strong><\/h1>\n

As the years go by, more and more of my peers are beginning to prioritize their health. As compared to when we were younger, the effects of a beer and pizza night takes a considerably larger (and visibly noticeable!) toll on our bodies.<\/p>\n

While many aspire to ‘eat healthy’ in 2017, what does eating healthy actually mean? If your New Year’s resolution this year is to start eating healthier, here are four ways you can work towards this goal.<\/p>\n

01 | Consume Less Calories<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The intention with eating healthier is often to lose weight, whether for health or for beauty reasons. Research\u00a0has shown that eating lesser has numerous health benefits<\/a>, such as living longer. The rationale is that less stress placed on the body to digest all the food consumed, leading to less oxidative stress and DNA damage.<\/p>\n

Drastic caloric restriction, which often happens when people go on a ‘diet’, usually backfires. Eating lesser does not mean drastic caloric restriction or starvation, but choosing foods that are low in calories and high in nutrients.<\/p>\n

A good way to start consuming less calories is to reduce your daily caloric intake by 100 calories, which is within something called the ‘Mindless Margin’. The ‘Mindless Margin’ refers to the window whereby your physical body does not notice the increase or decrease in caloric consumption. Therefore, just as you can easily consume 100 less calories per day without your body realizing it, you can also easily overconsume the 100 calories. By consuming 100 less calories every day, you are set to lose 10 pounds by the end of the year.<\/p>\n
