FOOD PYRAMID

The key to proper nutrition is to combine a variety of foods. It is important to include all of the nutrients: Cereals, rice, bread, fruits, vegetables, milk, meat, fish, eggs, fats, oils and sweets.

Proper nutrition can be presented with pyramid:

Higher floors have less surface area of the pyramid, so the food that is displayed in them should be taken in small quantities, and the lower floors vice versa.

The food in pyramid is grouped into six groups and assigned to four levels. According to the importance and the need to consume, food is distributed in the following way:

   1. Cereals, rice, bread, pasta
   2. Fruit
   3. Vegetables
   4. Milk

   5. Meat, fish and eggs
   6. Fats, oils and sweets

Cereals, rice and brad take the first place, and they are the most desirable foods. Fats and sweets are on the  sixth, last  place.

This food guide pyramid can be very useful, and we can have a balanced diet following the food pyramid  rules.

GRAPEFRUIT DIET

There are many good diets, but it is important to find the right one for us. There are many diet tips and advices about how to lose weight, but the most important is to adjust diet to ourselves, our needs and lifestyle.

One of the interesting diets, that is not too heavy, is a grapefruit diet. This diet involves drinking grapefruit juice or eating half a grapefruit with each meal. This diet is healthy and is not difficult, but requires a continuous reduction of food that you eat. It is believed that the juice of this fruit contains enzymes that dissolve fat.

But this diet is debatable. Its effectiveness is not fully proven. For healthy weight loss it is still necessary to change many habits and above all to increase physical activity.

EASY WEIGHT LOSS TIPS

When we want to lose weight sometimes we make mistakes in choosing food that we eat. We believe that some foods are highly caloric, we are afraid that we will gain weight easy.

The most important thing is to eat a variety of foods, enter all the nutrients, even fats. So we will be able to lose weight, and we will not be hungry.

If you eat a uniform, low-calorie food, you will always be hungry. Therefore, you should combine a variety of foods that gives you a feeling of fullness. So we can avoid suffering and stress for our body. And we need to always follow healthy recipes for weight loss.

If we don’t want to be hungry all the time, we should enter all the nutrients that our body needs.

Proteins reduce hunger. So we should eat lean meat.

Fruits are necessary for the functioning of the body. Fruits are low-calorie, rich in water and fiber food, and give us satiety.

Fat is not always bad, and not the main culprits in weight gain. Fats provide satiety. But the most important thing is to choose adequate fat. Unsaturated fatty acids are found in olive and flaxseed oil, walnuts, oily fish like salmon, almonds, avocados, etc. These are good fats, and we can use them in our meals. Saturated fats are found in meat and butter. They should be avoided.

VEGETARIAN LIFESTYLE

Vegetarian lifestyle is becoming increasingly popular. However, a vegetarian food is not just a matter of fashion, nor just a question of humanity and love of animals. A vegetarian food is primarily healthy.

The only problem is that vegetarian food can be deficient in nutrients that come from meat. So we have to find that substances in other sources. For example:

•        Tofu - soy cheese, rich in minerals, calcium, vitamins and proteins and contains no cholesterol. It can be used in any healthy food recipe, combined with different foods.
•    Chickpeas - rich in magnesium, iron, protein, calcium, copper…You can eat them raw as a snack, or you can process them by cooking.
•    Oats - full of magnesium, protein, antioxidants.

There are a lot of foods that are rich in protein: avocado, beets, brown rice, etc.. Besides proteins they have many other nutritional substances healthy for your organism.
