Tips for a healthy eating

To stay healthy and full of energy you should have four daily meals (breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner). Our body needs a stable and constant caloric intake every day of the year. Skipping one of these meals as a way to keep fit or lose weight is not the best solution because we could alter the metabolism of our body negatively.

Having a varied diet ensures the correct addition of vitamins and minerals for our body. The percentage of food that should be part of our diet is perfectly reflected in the so-called pyramid.

In order to avoid an increase in the rate of blood cholesterol the following is recommended:

- Eat fish and poultry.
- Moderate consumption of eggs and viscera.
- Choose lean meats.
- Cook on the grill, grilled, baked or boiled food instead of frying.
- Consume vegetable oils (olive, corn and sunflower)
- Limit use of butter or margarine.
- Eat low-fat dairy

Choose food with an important source of plant fiber and rich in carbohydrates. For example, bread, vegetables, salads, cereals, legumes and fruits (quince).

In order to have controlled blood pressure avoiding salt is recommended. It could be justified only after making physical effort.

Daily physical activity is strongly recommended. This activity must be adapted to age, tastes, physical condition and time availability. Consider the daily requirements of vitamins and minerals required for the development of the activity. It is recommended to consult your doctor before starting to perform a new exercise.
