Spend time in shredding and dicing fruits and vegetables into smaller portions to make fruity snacks or variety of salads. These tips can save you from habitual overeating.

Eating right

Drink water at least half an hour before your meal, Chew your food to a pulp before swallowing so that saliva is completely mixed with it and make sure you drink water an hour after your meals. Following these rules of healthy eating will ensure that you give your metabolism the best chance of digestion.

 

Drinking right

Do not gulp down the whole glass in one go. Drink water in sips. Try to mix as much of your saliva with it before taking it down. Saliva has enzymes which assist in digestion.
