In honor of Healthy Weight Week, which begins on January 17th, Reliv International wants to remind people that a healthy weight is less about how they look and more about how they feel.
"A healthy weight does not involve a particular waist size," said Dr. Carl Hastings, chief scientific officer of Reliv International. "It involves several factors, including your height, age and gender, as well as your activity level."
Hastings says that by following a few simple dos and don'ts, which are listed below, people can develop healthy habits that will have a profound impact on how they look, act and feel.
DO drink plenty of water: Many times, the brain mistakes thirst for hunger, which sends you reaching for a quick snack instead of the glass of water your body really needs.
DO eat a rainbow of foods: An easy way to ensure that you are getting enough vitamins and nutrients in your diet is to assess the spectrum of color in your meals.
DON'T eat in front of a screen: Mindless eating, which is when people eat with no regard to whether or not they're feeling hungry or full, happens all too easily in front of the television or when surfing the Web.
DON'T skip meals: Keep your blood sugar stable by eating regular meals. Even though you may feel like you're eating more, there's a good chance you'll be consuming less calories.
