2. Goal Setting: Set realistic goals for yourself, both short-term and long-term. Break them down into manageable steps and celebrate your progress along the way.

How to Stay Hydrated😊

1. Know your water needs. Due to differences in climates and individuals, it's difficult to predict your exact needs. As a starting estimate, expect to sweat out, enough water to make up for this amount, and pay attention to your urine. If your urine is mostly clear, you are well hydrated. If it is dark or has a strong smell, you need more water. Aim for the lower range of this estimate if you are in the shade, and the higher range when walking in the sun. You will not need as much water while sitting. Most people underestimate the amount of water they need. Rely on solid measurements or urine color, not on how thirsty you feel.

2. Bring along plenty of water. Bring more water than you need, in several containers. Store the excess back in your vehicle or shelter. If possible, store it somewhere away from direct sunlight, which can make water unpleasantly hot, and eventually wear down plastic containers.

3. Drink in swallows, not sips. Sipping water may prevent the water from reaching your vital organs. Drink at least a few swallows at a time to ensure effective hydration. Drinking too much water on an empty stomach can lead to vomiting. If you think this may happen, start with a swallow or two. Wait a few minutes for your stomach to settle, then drink some more.

4. Do not ration your water. Trying to save your water will just make the symptoms of dehydration set in sooner. Even in an emergency situation, drink enough water to stay hydrated whenever possible. Although drinking will trigger your body to urinate, most of it is water you would have lost anyway.

5. Include salt in your diet. You will also lose sodium and potassium as you sweat, which can decrease water retention and eventually cause serious health problems. Snack occasionally on food that contains salt, as well as potassium-rich foods such as bananas, dried apricots, or nuts. If your sweat does not taste salty, or does not sting when it falls into your eye, you need more salt. Salt only helps water retention if you are hydrated enough to take advantage of this effect. If you are dehydrated, large amounts of salt can make the problem worse.

6. Stay covered. Any exposed skin encourages perspiration due to rapid evaporation. Wear a hat and lightweight, long-sleeved shirt and trousers.

7. Seek shade in the hottest part of the day. In most deserts, especially in summer, conditions are brutally hot from about 10 am to 4 pm. One of the most effective ways to conserve water is to stay in shade during this time, away from wind. Do not exert yourself during this time. In an emergency situation, walk during the night instead of the day.

8. Eat less if you're running out of water. In an emergency, conserve water by eating as little as possible. You can survive much longer without food than water, and digestion takes water out of your system

Healthy eating as a vegetarian--

🥒Eat a variety of fruit and vegetables every day-
Try to eat 5 at least 80g portions of fresh, frozen, canned, dried or juiced fruit and vegetables a day. As well as vitamins and minerals, fruit and vegetables provide fibre,
which can help digestion and prevents constipation.

🥔Base meals on starchy carbohydrates-
Starchy foods such as potatoes, bread, cereals, rice and pasta should make up just over a third of the food you eat. Where possible, choose wholegrain varieties.
You should eat some starchy foods every day as part of a healthy, balanced diet.
Starchy foods are a good source of energy and the main source of a range of nutrients in our diet. As well as starch, they contain fibre, calcium, iron and B vitamins.

🥛Dairy or dairy alternatives are needed for calcium - Milk and dairy products, such as cheese and yoghurt, are good sources of protein, calcium and vitamins A and B12.
This food group includes milk and dairy alternatives, such as fortified unsweetened soya, rice and oat drinks, which also contain calcium. To make healthier choices, go for lower fat milk and dairy foods. Also choose lower sugar options.

🥚Eat beans, pulses, eggs and other sources of protein - Pulses include beans, peas and lentils. They're a low-fat source of protein, fibre, vitamins and minerals, and count as a portion of vegetables. Nuts and seeds are also a source of protein and other nutrients.
Pulses are particularly important for people who don't get protein by eating meat, fish or dairy products. Other non-dairy sources of protein include eggs and meat alternatives, such as tofu, mycoprotein (such as Quorn), textured vegetable protein and tempeh. You need to eat a variety of different sources of protein to get the right mixture of amino acids, which are used to build and repair the body's cells.

🌻Choose unsaturated oils and spreads
Unsaturated fats, including vegetable, rapeseed, olive and sunflower oils, are healthier than saturated fats, such as butter, lard and ghee. But all types of fat are high in energy and should be eaten sparingly.

🍨Limit foods high in fat, salt and sugar
Foods high in salt, fat and sugar, such as cream, chocolate, crisps, biscuits, pastries, ice cream, cakes and puddings, should be eaten less often and in small amounts. Foods in this group mainly provide energy in the form of fats and sugars, but may only provide a very small amount of other nutrients.

🌼Very important point for easy weight loss😊😍

1. Do not skip breakfast
Skipping breakfast will not help you lose weight. You could miss out on essential nutrients and you may end up snacking more throughout the day because you feel hungry.

2. Eat regular meals
Eating at regular times during the day helps burn calories at a faster rate. It also reduces the temptation to snack on foods high in fat and sugar.

3. Eat plenty of fruit and veg
Fruit and veg are low in calories and fat, and high in fiber these essential ingredients for successful weight loss. They also contain plenty of vitamins and minerals.

4. Get more active
Being active is key to losing weight and keeping it off. As well as providing lots of health benefits, exercise can help burn off the excess calories you cannot lose through diet alone.

5. Drink plenty of water
People sometimes confuse thirst with hunger. You can end up consuming extra calories when a glass of water is really what you need.

6. Eat high fiber foods
Foods containing lots of fiber can help keep you feeling full, which is perfect for losing weight. Fiber is only found in food from plants, such as fruit and veg, oats, wholegrain bread, brown rice and pasta, and beans, peas and lentils.

7. Read food labels
Knowing how to read food labels can help you choose healthier options. Use the calorie information to work out how a particular food fits into your daily calorie allowance on the weight loss plan.

8. Use a smaller plate
Using smaller plates can help you eat smaller portions. By using smaller plates and bowls, you may be able to gradually get used to eating smaller portions without going hungry. It takes about 20 minutes for the stomach to tell the brain it's full, so eat slowly and stop eating before you feel full.

9. Do not ban foods
Do not ban any foods from your weight loss plan, especially the ones you like. Banning foods will only make you crave them more. There's no reason you cannot enjoy the occasional treat as long as you stay within your daily calorie allowance.

10. Do not stock junk food
To avoid temptation, do not stock junk food such as chocolate, biscuits, crisps and sweet fizzy drinks at home. Instead, opt for healthy snacks, such as fruit, unsalted rice cakes, oat cakes, unsalted or unsweetened popcorn, and fruit juice.

11. Cut down on alcohol
A standard glass of wine can contain as many calories as a piece of chocolate. Over time, drinking too much can easily contribute to weight gain.

12. Plan your meals
Try to plan your breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks for the week, making sure you stick to your calorie allowance. You may find it helpful to make a weekly shopping list.😊

Healthy and yummy Breakfast😋😍❤😋
