Healthy eating habits from Zest magazine

Health-conscious individuals with a Zest magazine subscription might want to check out the publication's top tips to help you boost your health.

Zest magazine nutritionist Rebecca Amey offers some great ideas to help you change your lifestyle to be healthier and even lose some weight.

Make sure you have breakfast - it'll kick start the metabolism, helping you burn fat all day long, she advised.

It's best to eat every three to four hours as this prevents overeating, as well as stabilising blood sugar and insulin levels in the body.

Trying a new fruit or veg each day not only adds variety, but also adds vital nutrients to the diet, according to Rebecca.

Keep healthy snacks around to avoid grabbing something bad for you when you need it.

Try to use lighter oils, such as olive or sunflower when cooking, and use herbs or spices instead of salt and sugar to add flavour.

If you think you're feeling hungry, it may actually be that you're thirsty, so drink glasses of water before you grab a snack, Rebecca suggests.

Recently, Zest magazine readers voted for the top UK spas and you can find out the winners of the Zest Spa Awards 2010 in the mag.
