How to live healthy in 2021?

More than half of the Dutch population is overweight. According to researchers, many overweight people have to deal with a lack of micronutrients. According to the RIVM, 32% of the Dutch have one or more chronic diseases.

Have we become less healthy over the years?

Over the past 100 years, our diet and lifestyle have been transformed. Globalization and industrialization have given us access to vast amounts of processed foods. Before the 20th century , we always ate seasonal foods from our environment. Food was always organic at that time. Our genes have evolved to eat natural and unprocessed foods. The processed foods that most people eat now provide energy, but are poor in micronutrients. In addition, the 'pressure' in society seems to be increasing. The increased work pace and the need to perform continuously are increasingly turning our society into a 'stress society' . We often ask more and more of our bodies, but we give them less fuel. A poor diet can not only lead to (chronic) diseases in adults, children also often have to deal with high blood pressure or diabetes. According to scientists, changing the diet and lifestyle can have a great effect on the situation.

How can I have a healthy lifestyle in 2021?

The basis for a healthy lifestyle is of course eating healthy food. It is important to choose (organic) pure food as a replacement for processed food that only fills but does not nourish. Eat as much plant-based unprocessed food as possible such as vegetables, fruit, nuts, seeds and legumes. Proteins, carbohydrates and fats are important for a healthy body. Therefore, eat as varied as possible so that you get enough of these nutrients. With a healthy diet as a basis, you can of course also enjoy food that is less nutritious every now and then. Too much emphasis on always eating healthy can often also cause stress.

How do I overcome binge eating?

Every day we are faced with temptations. Every day we have to make conscious choices. Some tips to resist temptations:

Choose a healthy and tasty alternative. There are now many recipes available on the internet and in cookbooks. Do you fancy unhealthy Oreos or Ben and Jerry's ice cream, for example? Then see if there is a healthy alternative.
Never go shopping on an empty stomach.
Drink enough water. Drinking water makes you feel full, which makes you less likely to 'snack'. Often a 'hunger feeling' is confused with a lack of fluid.
Only buy healthy food. If you don’t have any temptations in your home, you can’t be tempted. Have you already trained yourself a bit more in avoiding temptations? Test yourself by buying something unhealthy and see how long it takes before it’s gone…
Everyone knows it, you're actually full for a long time but still take that extra sandwich. Know your limit and moderate!
In general, we eat together more often than alone. Who you eat with also largely determines how much and what you eat, according to research. Knowing that others can influence your eating behavior can already help you improve your eating behavior.
Tell friends and family about your new eating habits. Also tell them why you want to eat healthier. This will help them take your new eating habits into account. And they may even want to join you.

What is the best energy drink?

Water, water and more water. Tip 3 is essential for us. People consist largely of water. In men, their bodies consist of no less than 65% water. In women, this is approximately 50%. If we do not take in enough fluids, there is a good chance that sports performance will deteriorate. If you lose 2% water, this can already have a noticeable effect.

Is sport really that important for our body?

In addition to healthy eating, exercise is important for a healthy body. Exercise can be done in many different ways. You can go for a walk or cycle in nature. But even taking the stairs instead of the elevator is considered exercise. Choose something that is possible for you and especially something you enjoy doing, so that you can keep it up for a longer period of time. When you get enough exercise, this can promote a healthy body weight. This also reduces the chance of physical ailments. Furthermore, exercise is also good for your mental health.
