What makes a Healthy Lifestyle?

Everyone will have a different interpretation of a healthy lifestyle, but here at Paisley Lifestyle, we believe that a balanced nutritional diet can make all the difference. If you are looking to make a change in your life, to improve your overall health and you want to feel good while doing it, then we can help!
For good health, your body needs to get more than 40 different nutrients, and there is not one single meal that can provide you with them all. You need to be able to create yourself a balanced diet, with a variety of foods and switch up what you eat for each meal of the day. Our lifestyle meals create a range of different meat and vegetarian options for you to choose from, each meal providing you with different nutrients and we can also offer you a different meal every day of the week for lunch and dinner!
Your diet needs to contain plenty of carbohydrates. Half the calories in your diet should come from foods that are rich in carbohydrates. There are many options that you can choose from to enhance your carbohydrate diet, pasta, rice and potatoes being some of them. It is a good idea to include at least one of these in every meal, which we can provide in many of our lifestyle meals such as the Chicken & Chickpea Rice Bowl, Saffron and Chorizo potatoes or the Tuna & Pasta Bowl.

Your diet will also need to consist of lots of fruit and vegetables to create a healthy way of living. They are among the most important food for giving you enough vitamins, minerals and fibre! You should try and eat at least five servings a day, which is great because the Paisley Lifestyle meals consist of a range of fruit and veg! Eating colourful meals also helps to increase the longevity of your healthy lifestyle, as the food is more appealing and tasty when infused with all the colour that fruit and veg brings. Don’t forget they also provide a very healthy snack between meals!

The best way to stay on top of your new healthy lifestyle is to eat regularly but control the portion size. You should not be starving yourself, and therefore you should be eating three meals a day, and allowing yourself a healthy snack in-between. Our lifestyle meals are never more than 500 calories, so you can be mindful of the portions of your meals while still enjoying the delicious food.

We can give you all nutritional and macron information that you need on the QR code that is on each meal, so you will be able to see and monitor yourself how many carbs, or how much protein and fibre you have consumed throughout the day to keep track of your lifestyle.

But don’t forget the food you eat is not the only thing you need to change to achieve a healthier lifestyle, you need to drink plenty of fluid, water being the best source. Maintain a healthy body weight, being overweight or underweight can increase the risk of health issues and make sure you are active! Physical activity is important for people of all weight ranges and ages, it helps burn off extra calories and also helps focus and improves overall health and wellbeing.
