a good and proper diet is not necessarily the same for everyone. What makes you feel better you can be different for your friend / or brother / girlfriend ao / o. The need for energy (calories) and nutrients vary with gender, age and how we move. Also the need is different for example if we are sick or healthy, or even the place or area of the world in which we live. In addition, the genes are involved. Just as we have an exterior appearance and interior.
The risk of contracting various diseases and the need for energy and nutrients are unique to each individual. Exactly how much we need each one of us: proteins, carbohydrates, essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, fiber and other nutrients varies significantly from person to person. So you cannot have a quick answer to that question. There are general recommendations that can be used as a basis to guide the world of nutrition and then search for specific information on what matters in particular.

In my opinion there are three words that sum up pretty well how to think for a healthy diet: Complete, balanced and varied.

Complete one hand means whole foods and nothing (or little) developed / refined. Unfortunately it is very easy to get and eat all the tasty and processed products that surround us with a combination of sugar, white flour and fat concentrations. It is best to eat mostly foods “whole” grains, fish, meat, eggs and much fruit, vegetables and vegetables.

Balance is important in many areas of life. We need a balance between rest and activity, and between sleep and awake time.

And when it comes to food, we need a balance between the amount of food energy and how much we spend. If energy intake is greater than the power consumption, weight gain (and vice versa). You also need a balanced supply of nutrients that provide energy, ie, proteins, fats and carbohydrates.

Activity – Rest

Energy Intake – Energy consumption

Protein – Fat – Carbs

Variety is get enough of all the essential vitamins, minerals, fatty acids and amino acids, as well as providing the body with the variety of types of fiber and antioxidants found in our food.

We are exposed to toxins and detoxification systems of the body are usually able to treat small amounts of what we are exposed. But there are obvious limits. Detoxification systems are influenced both by genes and by what we eat and its function varies according to these factors. Therefore, we are only here as well. A variety of foods, especially fruits, vegetables and root vegetables, seem to support the liver detoxification system. A varied intake of different foods, “whole”, makes it easier to eat nutritious and facilitates the detoxification of the body. In the case of fruit and vegetables, a good tip is to eat a wide variation of colors ranging from green, red, orange, yellow, purple and blue.
