DO YOU WANT A BALANCED LIFESTYLE? START WITH PROPER NUTRITION!
Food is our main source of energy, thanks to its caloric and nutritional intake. Whether it is based solely on vegetable or combined products, the golden rule is that the diet should be as balanced and healthy as possible, otherwise different deficiencies may occur in the body. Here are some healthy eating rules to keep in mind for an energic and strong body:
1. MORE VEGETABLES AND FRUITS, LESS HEAVY DIGESTABLE MEAT
Yes, we know how delicious a freshly fried steak can be, seasoned with spices, but in reality, the most appropriate thing is for the vegetables and fruits to prevail in the diet, and the meat to be in the last positions. Obviously, it should not be ruled out, since it contains protein and fiber necessary for our body, only that its volume must be less than that of the garnish with which you serve it. In this sense, the rule ⅓ meat and ⅔ vegetables on your plate works.
Frozen or fresh vegetables should be included in your diet, and nutritionists recommend that most main dishes be garnished with raw salads or vegetable mixes, so that the body receives the right caloric needs.
2. DON'T SKIP BREAKFAST
It is already a well-established rule that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but why? A study by Harvard scientists found that a healthy breakfast, taken daily on time, reduces the risk of a heart attack by 27%, greatly reducing the likelihood of cardiovascular disease. Obviously, this breakfast should be healthy and balanced. Here are some breakfasts to try at home:
- Frozen fruit Smoothie served on a bed of granola or muesli;
- Omelet with vegetables;
- Muffins served with a fruit salad;
- A bowl of muesli, dried fruits and almond milk.
3. LIQUIDS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, BUT AFTER MEALS
Whether you're in the middle of summer or winter, don't forget to hydrate with enough fluids. We refer here to plain or carbonated water (the latter must be served in moderation so as not to irritate the stomach), natural teas, smoothies and cocktails from various fruits, vegetables, greens. The main rule says about the need to serve them after a meal, and not during it, so that digestion is not altered.
But the most important thing, beyond these three basic rules, is that the food you choose is fresh and carefully chosen. In Linella chain of stores you can find natural products, directly from manufacturers, only good to use for your daily meals.
