Busy schedules and irregular lifestyles have led to obesity for many people. Many office workers want to look their best, but are forced to eat heavily seasoned, fatty fast food every day. Therefore, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is extremely difficult. Today, I'll share two key points to help you stay healthy even if you eat fast food every day!
1. Treat yourself to a "snack" by preparing healthy side dishes and snack vegetables:
1. Spinach (24 kcal/100g)
(1) Spinach is rich in iron and is a “supplement” among leafy green vegetables. Moreover, its calories are half that of apples.
(2) Rich in minerals and trace elements, spinach can also effectively remove toxins from the blood and promote bowel movements.
2. Mung bean sprouts (18 kcal/100g)
(1) The calories in bean sprouts are similar to those in winter melon, and bean sprouts are rich in water, fiber and vitamins.
(2) So, during the sprouting process, the nutrients in bean sprouts will gradually be refined, making them more easily absorbed and utilized by the human body.
(3) Bean sprouts also have the effect of cleansing the intestines and detoxifying, and removing fat and cholesterol from the blood vessel walls, which is very beneficial for weight loss.
2. Do some exercises targeting your waist and abdomen before bed to promote gastrointestinal activity (recommended exercises and massage techniques).
Although work keeps us busy enough, doing some light exercise before bed is still beneficial. Everyone should have a little time! The following exercises and massages can promote bowel movements and improve sleep. So, let's get moving!
Waist-slimming exercises:
1. First, bend forward, cross your arms, palms facing outward, and extend your arms forward slightly.
2. Place your hands beside your ears, bend forward while rotating your upper body to the left. Note that during this exercise, it's important to drink water in small sips frequently, ideally every ten or fifteen minutes, as water helps promote fat movement! Finally, repeat the opposite movement.
3. Place your left hand behind your neck, slowly raise your left elbow, and slowly extend your right arm downwards while bending your body to the right.
4. Repeat the same exercise in the opposite direction as step four, 15-20 times each time, for a total of six sets. This is actually a very good exercise for the obliques!
Remember to do as many repetitions as possible in each set, aiming for 15-20 repetitions each time, with short breaks in between. Then, complete four sets consecutively. However, it's crucial to progress gradually to avoid causing serious injury.
