7. Ponytail hairstyles for weddings

 1. Medium length wedding hairstyles

If you wear a medium hair, you can enjoy a lot of freedom when choosing the look, since such a cut provides style and a lot of versatility, since that length is perfect both to wear it loose and to make simple and casual updos. You can choose to wear it loose with water waves or straight if you prefer, wear a semi-updo or if you want to wear all your hair up, you can choose a low or ballerina bun that are very youthful because they have a casual and very flattering air.

2. Short hairstyles for weddings

Do you have short hair? In this case and depending on the short you have, you will have more or less options. What can look good is that you choose a headband or headdress to give all the prominence to that accessory and leave your natural hair as you normally wear it. An accessory with which you feel comfortable and that goes with the rest of your look.

3. Hairstyles for wedding guests long hair

If you are a guest with long hair, you will have many possibilities when it comes to wearing a hairstyle at a wedding. From wearing loose hair but well groomed and cared for with bohemian waves , which will give a hippie and informal air but also very cool, ideal for a beach wedding for example. Another option that we love are the  textured bows in which you have to take into account two aspects: leave two loose strands in the front of the face and make the bow slightly low, carve the part of the crown a little and you will have your bow low textured. Save

And if you want something more classic but with a modern and sophisticated touch, you can opt for a very high and very tight bow at the crown: the famous bow called ‘top knot’. Although instead of making the ponytail low, you have to make two very high ponytails glued together and then roll them up and cross them simultaneously to get a single bun.

4. Simple hairstyles for weddings

Gone are the years when wedding guests wore ornate hairstyles, with lots of volume and carded and full of hairspray so they could hold on. Now the naturalness is above all and feeling comfortable with the hairstyle and not in disguise and if you never usually wear a bow in your day to day, do not wear a wedding because you will feel strange. There are many simple hairstyles that are ideal for both day weddings and evening weddings. From wearing your hair down both straight and with natural waves , a ponytail, a braid or a simple bun . Whichever one is chosen if you want a simple air, it is better not to wear strappy hairstyles or with extra volume, something more natural.

5. Hairstyles with braids for weddings

Few hairstyles are as romantic and flattering as braids . It has it all: elegance, style, romanticism, personality and magic and they are also very versatile because there are a thousand ways to wear braids. From a normal or root braid , to XL adorned with ropes and bows in the purest ‘bubble ponytail’ style. You can also choose a low braided updo, very elegant and super easy to do. It is enough that you make one or two braids, it depends on the thickness you want in them, and you roll them into a bun. Save

Another more original option is the high braids , you just have to make a high ponytail, hold it and, later, a simple three-strand braid until the end. Finally, to add a casual touch, ruffle some strands. Or if you prefer a low bun with braids, which are ideal and are comfortable to wear.

6. Hairstyles for wedding guests loose hair

If you’re not used to wearing your hair up, don’t wear it to a wedding! There are a wide variety of options to wear your hair down, especially if you have medium hair or long hair. The most common is to make waves that can be waves to the water that can be more marked or softer and more relaxed or you can choose surf waves . These types of natural waves provide just the right movement to the hair and are perfect to counteract a more ornate style. Save

If you are more daring, you can opt for the wet or wet effect trend that was worn a lot and is still an option and is to wear polished and slicked hair to one side or back. It is perfect to clear the face without any effort, you can choose a finish with more or less volume and depending on the amount of product you use, you will get a more natural finish or, on the contrary, more fixed and sophisticated.

And you can always opt for a semi-collected that is an intermediate point between wearing it up and totally loose and of course, you can also choose an accessory that gives prominence to the look such as a flower crown, a headband, etc.

7. Ponytail hairstyles for weddings

The ponytail is also an option that is very successful among wedding guests and that also allows more versatility than it seems a priori. You can wear a ponytail that can be high, low, with a taut effect, disheveled. One that is ideal is the ponytail with volume that are the best option when you want to collect your hair, but at the same time give volume to the  look. The trick of this hairstyle is that the ponytail is very set but, at the same time, disheveled and natural. Save

We also love the bubble ponytail , a super original hairstyle and one of the most attractive and flattering that is a practically normal ponytail that you give volume in the form of bubbles thanks to the hair ties. If you prefer something more discreet, you can opt for a minimal ponytail,  the famous quote “less is more” applies a lot and a simple and minimalist ponytail  can give the cool touch   you are looking for for your next guest look. It is also a hairstyle that allows you to play with various accessories and ornaments such as velvet bows. If you want something different, choose a low ponytail with a side parting.

We are inspired by the catwalks in which the most recognized brands have walked this year and the looks of the most influential bloggers . In summary, the braids, the low collected, the waves and the ponytails will be your great choices for the next events. The headdresses will have great importance this season, in their most striking version, giving them a great prominence. Check out these guest hairstyles , which even you can do yourself. You will be amazed!

And remember that to wear a spectacular hairstyle it is best to order it from a professional, that’s why we leave you here the list of hairdressers so you can find the best in your area.

The World Health Organization recommends consuming fruits and vegetables daily to have a healthy diet and prevent the development of diseases.

Often, we hear that consuming vegetables and fruits on a daily basis is recommended and, unintentionally, we often believe that this only helps to balance the diet and avoid the consumption of industrial and ultra-processed groceries. 

However, the question is not only limited to this. In fact, the recommendation is made by health, diet and nutrition experts to help people make better choices about what they eat and thus gain and maintain good health and, therefore, a good quality of life.

Advantages of consuming vegetables and fruits

Consuming vegetables and fruits is recommended for several reasons. One of them, because it allows the body to provide all kinds of valuable nutrients for the fulfillment of different processes.

Let’s see other advantages below.

1. They help us satisfy our appetite

Due to their content of dietary fiber, both fruits and vegetables help us to satisfy our appetite when we eat. Additionally, they help us to maintain the feeling of satiety for longer, thus preventing us from eating anything we find between meals.

2. They help us lose weight

Eating vegetables and fruits is the best way to lose weight in a healthy way, without starving and without having to count calories. These foods help us lose weight for the following reasons:

• They control the appetite thanks to its satiating power.
• They are rich in fiber, so they can fight bloating in the abdomen.
• They help us fight fluid retention and constipation.
• They are low in calories.
• They help us avoid cravings to eat sweets and are the best alternative to eat mid-morning or mid-afternoon.

3. Regulate intestinal transit

Thanks to their high content of fiber, vitamins, minerals and enzymes, fruits and vegetables are essential for good intestinal function. By eating them daily, we regulate intestinal function.

If we are going to increase the consumption of fruits and vegetables suddenly, we must take this into account: at first we can have constipation for a few days until the intestine assimilates the increase in fiber.

With a little patience and drinking plenty of water throughout the day, we can begin to enjoy a good intestinal transit, without further complication.

4. They nourish all the organs and systems of the body

The different vitamins and minerals present in plant foods help us to strengthen all the cells, organs and systems of the body. And while we generally think of vitamin C, iron, zinc, magnesium, and calcium, there are many other nutrients that we can get from these natural food sources.

Although it is advisable to consume whole fruits, we can also enjoy them in smoothies, smoothies, etc. And the same with vegetables and greens; We can eat them raw, in broths, in purees, and so on.

5. They provide vitality

Consuming vegetables and fruits is also highly recommended because through these we obtain enough energy to carry out daily activities.

It is not the same to eat a muffin and a coffee, to be “active” for a few minutes and then have that need for more, than to have a fruit and not only satisfy the appetite with it, but also to obtain water and nutrients that give us more energy. , for longer.

In other words, being so rich in nutrients, both vegetables and fruits are foods that have the virtue of greatly increasing energy and vitality levels. 

• Juices are a great option, since in small quantities they contain several pieces of fruit and vegetables.
• The best way for vegetables to give us energy is to eat them raw.
• We can also prepare delicious and complete salads or germinate some seeds, grains or legumes to multiply the benefits of these foods.

6. They help us obtain antioxidants

Eating vegetables and fruits is the best way to obtain antioxidants, which help us stay healthy and, at the same time, fight aging. These nutrients prevent the damage caused by free radicals, both on the outside and on the inside.

To benefit from antioxidants, we should eat, above all, these raw foods. We can prepare salads, juices or the famous green smoothies. A serving of vegetables should not be missing at every meal.

In short, including vegetables and fruits in a diet in which variety, moderation and balance predominate is very beneficial for health in general and can also help us maintain a healthy weight, according to our body mass index.

If you are thinking about losing weight and eating a balanced diet , the nutritionist, Carlos Aznar Gallego, recommends us to incorporate a series of essential foods and clarifies several doubts about snacking between meals or the number of meals we should eat per day.

Keys to a balanced diet to lose weight

Regardless of the objective we are looking for, a healthy and balanced diet , such as the Mediterranean diet, must cover four basic principles , except in cases where there is an associated pathology:

• Variety principle. Our diet must include foods from all nutritional groups to obtain the specific nutrients that each of them provides us.
• Frequency principle. To maintain a hormonal and energetic balance, frequent and regular consumption of food is necessary.
• Principle of moderation. Regardless of our objective, the tendency of our balanced diet should be to consume food in a moderate way since, per unit of time, the body has a limited capacity to assimilate and use said energy and nutrients.
• Hydration principle. It is very important to provide water to our body on a regular basis throughout the day since all the chemical reactions that regulate our metabolism occur in an aqueous medium. In addition, it is an excellent tool to control appetite and satiety .

Balanced diet: foods that promote fat and weight loss

Although there are no foods with “negative calories” , if our goal is to reduce the percentage of body fat we must prioritize those foods that provide us with a feeling of satiety , and at the same time, provide low-calorie nutrients . Take note of the following tips to start the change!

1. Incorporate fruits and vegetables into your diet , since they are the foods that provide more vitamins and minerals with a reduced caloric intake.
2. Introduce fish, eggs and meat into your diet, the amount of fat they provide is indifferent compared to the contribution of amino acids, which is essential for the protection of our tissues and the proper functioning of our metabolism . Also, there are recent studies that debunk false myths about egg consumption and cholesterol .
3. Nuts and legumes should be part of your balanced diet because they will provide you with the energy you need and, in addition, a very high amount of essential nutrients . Their absorption is very slow, which is a great benefit for hormonal control.
4. Rice is a fundamental food for weight loss. You can learn how to make a tasty loose rice to accompany your recipes.

Not recommended foods to lose weight

There are certain foods that provide a lot of energy, but their main problem is that the absorption is very fast . Some examples can be sugar, flour and refined rice that are present in the majority of pastas, breads and rice that we usually consume, as well as in industrial soft drinks and juices.

These products generate a too rapid increase in blood sugar , which stimulates the insulin hormone that works by introducing this substance into the muscles. And, although a priori it may seem positive, since it is a sharp rise and in large quantities, this hormone can stimulate the entry of that energy to other types of cells called adipocytes, which are related to the increase in fatty tissue . Which is not recommended if our intention is to lose weight and reduce the amount of fat in our body.

Tricks to eat a balanced diet and lose weight

In addition to following the advice of the specialist Aitor Sánchez in his book ‘My diet no longer limps’ or the realfooding movement by Carlos Ríos , the key to following a balanced diet and being able to lose weight – or, rather, body fat – is to achieve a negative energy balance . How is it achieved? Consuming fewer calories than we burn and, in addition, that these calories come from quality food , nutritionally speaking.

Of course, it is not advisable to expose our body to excessive caloric restriction since it can have undesirable negative effects such as decay or the known “rebound effect” – by which, our body defends itself against the lack of energy and assimilates it in fat form-. With your DKV health insurance you will be able to solve all your nutritional doubts with the nutritional medical line and you will have advice on the type of diet that is best for you .

As you already know, if your goal is to lose weight, exercise is one of the main tools to stimulate the individual’s caloric expenditure and, in addition, optimizes the use of certain nutrients. Also, it is essential a good rest , (meaning not sleep much) because, in this way, our hormonal system function properly and avoid metabolic stress situations that prevent the body to lose weight in response to aggressive agents such as the lack of sleep, fasting or dehydration .

Forget about following any diet to lose weight or those that promise to do it quickly since they do not have any medical support because although at the beginning it is possible to lose weight, in the medium-long term the result is counterproductive, recovering the lost weight, and even in some cases, gaining weight due to the well-known rebound effect.Free guide

To eat a balanced diet, can I snack between meals?

Surely, if you have been on a diet before, you will have tried not to snack between meals , despite the fact that many nutritionists advise eating 5 meals a day . In this way, snacking is not convenient, but it is a good strategy to maintain adequate sugar levels and, thus, control our appetite .

Can I eat any food between meals? Obviously not. In fact, the problem arises when the snacking is random and improvised , so the ideal is to keep a certain control of the healthy snacking alternatives that we can include between the main meals. Therefore, the foods that interest us most are those that provide a small amount of sugar and that this, in addition, is absorbed slowly, that contain a significant amount of fiber to stimulate satiety and always, accompanied by a significant amount of water .

If you don’t know what to include in your healthy snack , we suggest you incorporate: fruit, skimmed dairy products, nuts in controlled quantities, small sandwiches or sandwiches made of 100% whole wheat bread with ham, cheese, tuna, avocado, hard-boiled egg … Everything is alternatives healthy and interesting to include in your balanced diet!

How many meals should a balanced diet include?

The nutritionist Carlos Aznar Gallego recommends eating 5-6 meals a day to have a balanced diet , but what determines this amount is the physical activity we do. It is important not to leave long periods of fasting since this would trigger an imbalance in glucose levels and, therefore, a decrease in vital energy, an increase in appetite and an increase in the tendency to accumulate fat , as a ‘supercompensation ‘.

In conclusion, it cannot be said that there is a specific number of recommended meals per day , but that, depending on physical activity, work / study hours and sleep, it will have one recommendation or another.
