MY HEALTHY LIFESTYLE TIPS

1. Eat wholesomely - according to your needs and constitution:

- Sit down to dine and savor your food

- Have as many meatless and low-carb meals as possible (I indulge on meat, bread, pasta, rice, cakes, desserts, cheese, peanut butter, etc... only once or twice a week, mostly on weekends)

- Serve vegetables at every meal

- Integrate sufficient healthy proteins and cereals into your diet (seeds, eggs, dairy products, poultry, fish, tofu, farro, barley, oats, buckwheat, etc...)

- Regularly cook with legumes and grains (a few times a week)

- Eat a handful of nuts and fruits on a daily basis

- Flavor your dishes with lots of spices and herbs as well as natural condiments (vinegar, mustard, hot sauce, etc...)

- Use good oils and fats in reasonable quantities (that also includes animal fats)

- Drink lots of plain water (the amount varies from one person to another, depending on one's lifestyle and body's demand)
