10 Healthy Eating Habits Most People Don’t Know
Now add up your daily schedule, work, money and responsibilities and you have an equation impossible to solve. On the top of that all the “right” information is changing daily and the things you thought are healthy for you science proves to be actually unhealthy.
To make things even more confusing there are countless of organizations which care only for your money and “feed” you with wrong information to gain your desperate trust.
What hell is this? How can someone possibly know the rules of eating healthy in this mess?
What healthy eating habits should we follow?
Well there are people who can teach us all we need to know, we just need to observe them. These people are not scientists, they are not even smarter than us, but they do something we forgot how to do.
They listen to their body! Science also proves by recent studies that eating healthy is not a formula but a constant awareness of your body’s needs at the exact moment. By observing these people from all around the world we discovered 10 habits they all share.
These are the 10 healthy eating habits most of the world forgot.
1. Don’t skip on your snack:
3 times per day is an ideal plan for eating. However, we usually forget about the snacks in between. A healthy snack, despite giving you the nutrients your body needs, will fill you enough to avoid overeating your main course.
This is how a natural, balanced and healthy eating schedule looks like: Breakfast, Fruit and Veggie snack or smoothie, Lunch, Nuts and Seeds snack, Dinner.
2. Drink water instead of everything else:
Many people have a habit to drink sodas or other sugary drinks while eating. This is a BIG no no. This is the body’s sign telling us we are not listening its needs or consciously going against them.
When people listen to their body, eat sweet when their body asks for sweet, drink water when their body is thirsty and consume carbohydrates when their body asks for carbohydrates, they have no urge to drink anything while eating.
Their instinct is to drink water 30 min before the course and an hour after which is scientifically proven to be the healthiest choice. A great shortcut to rebalance is to choose water and avoid drinking anything else.
3. Don’t stand while eating:
Most of us have a habit to stand while eating. Many others lack the time to sit down in a restaurant and eat like humans so they choose eating on the way. No matter how busy your schedule is, a time for eating your meal seated should be your priority.
Everyone has 30 minutes to sit and eat, and if you don’t have make some. You are probably not prioritizing your meal time enough. You must understand that nothing is more important than your well being. Get up early if you need but eat seated.
4. Eat until you are 80% full:
Japanese people honor this habit most of all while eating. Their ancient teachings tell about scientific fact recently discovered. There is an important delay when it comes to feeling full. The signal that your body is full to reach your mind needs around 20 minutes.
Having a habit to eat until just a little bit before feeling completely full is a healthy “cheat” to avoid overeating. Eat until you are 80% full Japanese people teach us.
5. Lunch should include a dessert :
Money hungry companies and diet commercials have washed our brain that we should avoid dessert at all costs.
Your body says no. Using a moderate amount of so called unhealthy food, just a tiny dessert after lunch is actually healthy on the bigger picture.
You were not created yesterday. You are a product of all the ancestors before you and your DNA is programmed to survive in the unhealthy world we live in today. This is not done by avoiding everything that’s unhealthy but finding a healthy balance.
6. Don’t leave your largest meal for dinner:
If you are eating as you go, not listening to your body’s needs you are probably leaving your largest meals for dinner as you have more spare time then. This is not balanced or healthy because your body needs its large meals before 3pm.
You are not as active at night as you are in the first half of your awakened day. Not eating a decent amount of food when your body needs it the most is like driving your car 60 miles per hour in the second gear. Breakfast 40%, Lunch 30%, Dinner 20%, and Snacks 10% of your daily calorie intake is a healthy ratio.
7. Try to guess the ingredients with your sense of taste:
It is funny how less of an importance we give to our sense of smell and taste. We depend so much on our sight and neglect all the other worlds we can explore with our other senses. Try to be better than that.
Try to improve your sense of taste by guessing the ingredients of your food. It is a new world, believe me. This will help you sense what’s healthy and what’s not without checking the back of the package. It will also install a healthy tempo of eating in your paradigm.
8. Don’t eat after dinner:
Your body functions best if your last meal of the day is at least 6 hours before sleeping.
9. Don’t just eat, enjoy every single bite:
Many old people have a saying, “eat less, chew more”. Eating should not be only for survival, we have grown bigger than that. Eating should be a dance of tastes, a symphony of different instruments playing on your tongue. Enjoy your bites, feel them.
Feel the pleasure of eating by being aware that each taste had its own story of coming on your plate and uniting with all the others to create the uniqueness you are experiencing inside your mouth.
10. Honor what you put in your body:
As we went into the industrialization epoch a lot of values have been forgotten due to the abundance of products. Honor of eating was one of them. We have created countless options available in just around any corner of our cities.
This ease of access to food made us lose the meaning behind eating. Everything you put in your body becomes a part of your body. Our bodies change their every single atom in 7 years so all that your body is now is what you consumed these 7 years.

Chelsea Clinton Claims Marijuana Kills People
Chelsea Clinton has gone on the record and denounced marijuana as a lethal drug that she claims may be killing people who take it for medical purposes.
Chelsea Clinton, the daughter of Hillary Clinton, made a recent appearance at Youngstown State University campaigning for her mother. The young lady spoke to the crowd of students about the “public health concerns” she had of marijuana that she believed were connected to recent deaths in Colorado.
Hightimes.com reports:
“We also have anecdotal evidence now from Colorado where some of the people who were taking marijuana for those purposes, the coroner believes, after they died, there was drug interactions with other things they were taking,” she said.
Although there is no documented evidence that marijuana has ever contributed to the death of a single human being in the thousands of years it has been used by civilizations across the globe, prohibitionists often dig deep into their sagging bags of propaganda to convince the average citizen that the effects of cannabis can be both devastating and deadly. But this is the first we have heard of marijuana potentially interacting with other drugs and causing people to suffer their untimely demise.
A recent article on InhaleMD indicates that while there can be some minor interactions when consuming cannabis in conjunction with other medications and food, there is no evidence to suggest that these types of concoctions can result in death.
“Cannabis is not known to produce any lethal interactions with other substances, including foods and beverages,” the article reads. “In fact, as natural and synthetic drugs go, cannabis is exceptionally gentle, with negative effects typically limited to: anxiety, dry mouth, increased thirst, [and] sore throat.”
The article, which was penned by Dr. Jordan Tishler, an expert in the field of cannabis medicine, goes on to explain that while marijuana “isn’t physically harmful,” when mixing it with alcohol, antidepressants, antihistamines and muscle relaxants, the stoned effects can be often amplified—giving the user the feeling of being more intoxicated or in a deeper state of relaxation.
But it does not appear that anyone has died as a direct result of mixing marijuana with other drugs, as Clinton seems to have implied in her speech over the weekend.
Using marijuana is combination with other substances is “substantially safer than blending most other types of medications,” the article continues.
Chelsea Clinton did, however, take the opportunity to reiterate her mother’s stance on states’ rights and the pursuit of more medical marijuana research. But, her comments, once again, seemed to imply that marijuana could be what the federal government claims—a dangerous drug.
“We just need so much more data than we have so that people who might benefit have the chance to benefit, people who might be in danger are protected,” Clinton said. “So absolutely, my mom strongly supports the need for more rigorous study and then subjecting it, as we do kind of everything else that might have a medicinal purpose, to FDA approval, scrutiny and ultimately regulation.”
Hillary Clinton has said throughout the majority of her campaign that she plans to remove cannabis from its Schedule I listing if she is elected into the presidency this November.

Germany Just Produced So Much Renewable Energy That It Had To Pay People To Use It
Electricity bills are often ludicrously high thanks to our energy-intensive modern world, but every now and then, thanks to the forces of nature, a metaphorical miracle takes place. As reported by Quartz, Germany just experienced such a phenomenon when a particularly bright and sunny day supercharged their solar and wind power sectors.
Around 1 p.m. on May 8, the nation’s renewable energy generating facilities were supplying around 55 gigawatts of the 63 gigawatts being consumed – about 87 percent of the total electricity consumption. With the addition of the country’s conventional power plants, the output actually exceeded the national demand. This energy surplus meant that, for a brief time, energy prices were actually negative, meaning consumers were effectively being paid to consume electricity.
A similar feat occurred in Denmark last year, when a terrifically windy day boosted their wind power sector so much that these turbines alone generated 140 percent of the nation’s electricity demand, with the excess energy being exported to Germany, Norway, and Sweden.
According to a United Nations report, Germany intends to be one of the frontrunners when it comes to renewable energy; it has pledged to be powered entirely by renewable energy sources by 2050, an ambitious feat to say the least. Days like May 8 serve to give this ambition genuine credibility.
A recent study suggested that all the pieces are in place for an energy revolution. Fossil fuels would be rejected, and renewable and nuclear energy would take over. A recent declaration by the International Energy Agency, that over a quarter of the world will be powered by renewable energy by 2020, seems to imply that this may be the case – as does the Paris climate change agreement, which can only be successfully implemented if fossil fuels are ditched in favor of renewables.
Countries all over the world are stepping up to the plate, including Germany. Sweden has initiated legislative and infrastructural changes to put it on track to becoming the world’s first fossil fuel-free nation; Morocco will soon have a 24/7 concentrated solar power plant that will be able to constantly supply the entire region; the U.S., Canada, and China have allagreed to cooperate to end their reliance on fossil fuels.
As always, though, it’s complicated. Many nations increasing their renewable energy generation capabilities are also scaling back on their nuclear power plants, particularly Germany. If they hope to be fossil fuel-free in the near-future, removing their nuclear power plants – which have a near-zero carbon footprint – will greatly hinder them on their quest, along with slowing down their efforts to mitigate man-made climate change.
