TIPS FOR HEALTHY EATING HABITS THIS FALL

Some expert tips from Doctor Kayode Sotonwa regarding how to stay healthy during the fall months.

Plan for lighter fare that includes a lot of vegetables, salads and fruit.

These are all good choices, especially since they include high water content in order to stay hydrated. Avoid heavy food like sweets, snacks or too much meat, items that often lead to decreased energy.

Staying hydrated.

Adults tend to need about 8 eight-oz glasses of water per day, or anywhere between 64-100 oz. But Dr. Kayode Sotonwa shares that heavier individuals often miss the mark but don’t understand why. This is because they should increase their consumption depending on how much they weigh to avoid dehydration. A good point of reference is to drink between a half an ounce to an ounce of water for each pound a person weighs.

Keeping a food and drink journal.

Doctor Kayode Sotonwa shares those who outline how many calories they plan to intake and write down everything they have consumed for the day are much more likely to stay on track.
