Simple steps for healthy BMI

Deepika Shakya

Here are some simple steps to achieve and maintain a healthy BMI

Consume a variety of nutrient-rich foods, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats.

Eat a Balanced Diet

Be mindful of portion sizes to avoid overeating. Use smaller plates, bowls, and utensils to help manage portion control.

Control Portion Sizes

Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Water helps regulate metabolism, aids digestion, and can help prevent overeating by keeping you feeling full.

Stay Hydrated

Choose activities you enjoy, such as walking, swimming, cycling, or dancing.

Incorporate Physical Activity

Look for opportunities to be active in your daily routine, such as taking the stairs instead of elevator

Move More Throughout the Day

Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night. Poor sleep can disrupt hormone regulation and metabolism, leading to weight gain

Get Adequate Sleep

Practice stress-reduction techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, yoga, or spending time in nature.
