Many people associate home with comfort, coziness and safety. However, some aspects of home life can negatively affect our health.

In this article, we'll look at how our home can contribute to weight gain and offer recommendations for changing habits and lifestyle to make your home an ally in your fight for health and weight loss.

Empty Calorie Cabinets

What do we mean by "empty calories"? The answer is obvious - food that is high in fat and carbohydrates, with little biological value and benefit.

If you have a freezer full of ice cream and cupboards full of candy and chips, you're likely to fall off any healthy diet.

Fruits in the refrigerator

Healthy foods that are visible increase the chances that you will eat them, so it is worth keeping fruits on the counter, especially since most of them do not need to be refrigerated.

Plus, fruits look attractive on the table. Buy a fruit bowl and fill it with colorful and healthy apples, oranges, and pears. Another way to enjoy healthy food is to cut fruits and vegetables into thin slices and put them in a transparent container in the most visible place in the refrigerator. A light and healthy snack is ready.

Hidden sports equipment

If dumbbells, a bike, and a treadmill are out of your sight, you don’t even think about them, and, accordingly, you stop watching your figure.

The takeaway is simple: Instead of storing dumbbells under your bed and hanging clothes on the treadmill, place them where you spend the most time.
