Find out how to maintain a balanced and tasty diet all year round
Those who decide to adopt a healthy lifestyle start worrying about the food they are consuming, and many questions about food begin to arise.
Having a good diet is important for the health of our body, moreover, it helps a lot those who want to lose weight or increase muscle mass.
However, you don’t have to suffer to go on a diet throughout the year, so let’s separate some myths and truths so that you really eat right. Watch:
1 – Do I get fat with carbohydrates?
Myth! Many people believe that carbohydrates make you fat, but this is a myth, as they are a great source of energy. Speaking of which, what makes your body accumulate fat is calorie surplus and excessive consumption, with little or no stimulation of physical activity. It is worth noting that carbohydrates are essential for the body and their absence can cause many metabolic disorders.
2 – Is milk bad for your health?
It depends! Milk purchased on the market contains artificial components for preservation, therefore, considering the quality of the food, its excessive consumption can be harmful to health.
The proteins in the drink are even considered allergenic, and if your body tolerates its intake well, there is no reason to worry. But remember not to overdo it!
3 – Does the dish have to have different ingredients?
Truth! To eat a good meal, you need a dish made up of the following foods: energy drinks (cereals, grains and tubers); builders (meat, fish and legumes) and regulators (vegetables, foliage and legumes).
We recommend 50% regulators, 25% builders and 25% energy, but this can vary according to your goal also due to the conditions of your body.
4 – Is it better to consume whole foods?
Truth! Eating whole foods is best most of the time. Whole foods have a higher nutritional concentration, so they help improve intestinal and body balance.
In addition, they promote energy in a lasting way. However, it is necessary to consume it in a balanced way, since even in the wholemeal version the food contains calories, fat and sodium.
5 – Are there foods that make you lose weight?
Myth! No single food can help your body burn fat. To obtain positive results it is necessary to reconcile good nutrition with the practice of physical exercise. Only through these attitudes will the individual be able to lose weight and also to keep their health up to date.
