With busy, hectic schedule, it feels like a great accomplishement if we manage to get enough sleep, eat healthily and find a little time for exercising. But did you know that here is an optimal time to perform these activities? Get your schedule straight and start working!
Best time to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner
You should be eating breakfast in the first hour after waking up. 4.5 hours later you should have lunch and two hours after you should have dinner. If you delay these times you'll start feeling hungry, and the hungrier you are, the more likely you are to cheat and eat junk food. Dr. Oz claims that the big rule of thumb is that you should have had dinner at least three hours before going to sleep, otherwise you might hit the bed with a full belly which will cause you digestion problems.
Best time to weigh yourself
The optimal time to weigh yourself with the best accuracy is during the morning, but if it's not possible for you, make sure you weigh yourself everyday at the same time, and on the same scale to keep consistency.
Best time to do the grocery shopping
The best timing to head to the grocery shop is at 10 a.m. because you will still be full from breakfast. If you go shopping while hungry and you're blood sugar levels are low, it will impair your judgements. If you're hungry while shopping, you have more chances to get tempted by all the unhealthy sugary foods.
Best time to Work Out
No surprise here, it's the morning! One study found that people who were put on a high fat diet and exercised daily before lunch gained no weight at all! While those who were under the same diet but worked out after lunch gained three pounds! When you exercise in the morning, you kickstart you metabolism and burn much more calories during the day.
Best time to visit the doctor's office
If you need to visit the doctor, the optimal time to do it is first thing in the morning. You will not only save time by securing the first appointment of the day, but you'll also feel less hungry if you need to fast for a morning lab test.
Best time to boost your metabolism
Well, you've guessed it! It's during the morning! More specifically at 8 a.m. , since you'll be waking up, weighing and exercising, you'll need that little boost. One of the easiest ways to boost yourself is by drinking a cold glass of water as we discussed in a previous article.
As you can see, morning is the most important part of the day, it directly affects the rest of your day, so having a good morning is necessary for living a healthy life.
Don't forget: these are only advice, don't hesitate to consult your doctor if you have any specific problem.
