Food is a global concern. On one hand, obesity, another famine. Experts believe that there would be enough food to feed 12 billion people. We must find a way to equitably distribute.
Healthy eating is about balance. It is to eat the amount that is fair for each essential nutrients to the body: proteins, vitamins, minerals, trace elements, etc. For example, the inadequate absorption of fruit and vegetables leads to a deficiency in certain nutrients. In addition, to compensate for the lack of vegetables on the plate, a larger portion of another food group is added, bringing an unwanted surplus of some nutrients.
Everyone knows, but ...
Soft drinks, ice creams, products very sweet, very salty or very fat are to be eliminated or at least minimized. Cure the frying do not eat the skin of the roast chicken. Add vegetables, fruits, fiber, fish to your diet.
Eat slowly. Meals are taken at regular hours and you avoid snacking between meals. Finally, to reduce the absorption of calories, there are no miracles : a smaller portion of the food with the most calories and less generous portions. Add to that a minimum of exercise, be it walking, and you're in the right direction.
Avoid diets that work only for a short time, the body stores more calories as soon as the diet ends. It is better to adopt a healthy and well balanced alimentation giving surprising results, combined with exercise.
Eat more fish, white meat, well prepared tofu, vegetables raw or steamed. Pasta with vegetables and tomato sauce or cheese light provide energy over a longer period of time. Athletes cope with it very well.
If you have a sweet tooth, opt for fruits, compotes, desserts made with sucralose*, which contains fewer calories than sugar, biscuits and cakes, which we will cut the sugar by half in the recipe . Nature nonfat yogurt with added fresh fruit are a great dessert, and a source of calcium.
