Food and Nutrition

Nowadays, nobody cares more about what they eat. Due to lack of time or for practical reasons, no one goes to the stove anymore and prefers junk food and delivery. Probably because it’s faster and it’s better. As a result, healthy eating is deteriorating and is no longer on the menu.
Having a good diet is indeed a matter of will. Without this, no goal is reached. Like sport, good nutrition requires a minimum of knowledge and compliance with certain rules. So, for those who want to find a proper diet, here are some tips.

Do not neglect any meal

To be healthy, you need to eat three meals a day: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Breakfast is the most important of all, as it allows you to face your day. It is also the time when the nutrient intake essential for the proper functioning of the organism is consumed.
Both lunch and dinner are complimentary. During these moments, light meals are honored. Therefore, it is your responsibility not to skip breakfast.

Eat a variety

All food is necessary for our health. Eating a little while varying the pleasures is the key to a balanced diet: alternate meat and fish, fresh products, and frozen dishes (homemade if possible).

Use carbohydrates as an energy source

As you know, carbohydrates are the body’s main fuel and energy source. Essential for its proper functioning, carbohydrates are composed of slow sugars. These are included in cereals, whole bread, rice, and pulses.

Choose foods high in fiber, healthy fats and protein

A balanced diet should be rich in fiber. Found in fruits, vegetables, and legumes, they must constitute food. In addition, fibers have significant virtues because they protect against intestinal diseases and infections, facilitate transit, and stabilize weight.

Healthy fats

Aside from fiber, healthy fats play an essential role in the body. They ensure the proper functioning of the body, just like proteins. If you are hungry, avoid snacking and snacks and compensate for your needs with foods rich in trace elements.

Water, the perfect ally for a healthy and balanced diet

A person should drink at least 1.5 liters per day. Therefore, a well-hydrated body is always subject to a healthy diet. However, water is not the only drink recommended for a healthier life. There is tea, highly recommended to get back in shape and more vitality; coffee and infusions or herbal teas. It is preferable, in this case, to drink them without sugar.

Avoid the extra

To have a balanced diet, you must avoid taking all substances that harm your health, including alcohol, sweets, prepared or processed meals, soft drinks, and many more.

Cook at home

Avoid processed foodstuffs as much as possible in your diet. They are poor in nutrients, rich in fats, salt, sugars, and additives.

Limit the salt

Salt ingesting should remain less than 5 g per day (the equivalent of a teaspoon of salt per day); 2 g for children.

Respect the mealtime

For better digestion, rest at least 20 minutes at each meal and take the time to chew well.

Don’t exceed your calorie needs

Our diet is often too rich concerning our needs, which depend on physical activity provided during the day, gender, and age. As a general rule, to respect the quantitative nutritional balance, a meal is sufficient in quantity when the feeling of satiety is reached.
To be fit and to stay healthy, it is essential to have a healthy, varied, and balanced diet. This balance must be built daily to avoid deficiencies and excesses.
