It’s Important To Watch What You Eat
Food experts and parents up and down the country have been warning us since the beginning of time that “we are what we eat”. Does this mean that if someone only eats Chinese takeaways they will become fat and unhealthy? What they mean by this of course is that whatever we put into our mouths has a direct influence on our health, fitness, beauty and even mood. As a result we are always being told to eat this, drink that, avoid these. However, if you are not an expert its pretty hard to filer out the really important info, so here is is for you, the foods with the biggest influence on our insides and out.
Salt. Up until relatively recently, salt was not considered to be a bad thing for us and was rife in lots of peoples diets. An agency called the FSA in the UK suggest that 6g of salt is the maximum that anyone should need in a day. If you are very active then you will need more salt in your diet as it is lost via sweating and important to muscle function but most people should cut down as high in salt intake is closely linked to high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke. Rather than put it in your body, salt is good at conditioning skin and is in fact an ingredient in numerous skin care products
Fats. There are types of fat that are vital to the functioning of our body, including maintain organs, skin and vision. They are generally unsaturated fats that we need and not the type that most people get far too much of, which are saturated fats (AKA trans fats). Put simply, eating too many saturated fats will not only make you fat but could also cause heart disease, organ failure and diabetes to name a few. It won’t matter how many times you get a body wrap, inside and out will not be great if you don’t watch your fats
Water. This is not something you eat of course, but you should not underestimate the power of the H20. Ideal water intake levels are dependent on factors such as temperature, body size, age, humidity etc, although most experts recommend taking in 1-2 lts per day if possible. Water is used in every element of the bodies functioning but also has a large impact in appearance, so if you drink enough of the stuff you won’t need your skin firming treatments quite so often
