The healthy diet has recently become an extremely popular topic. “What to eat to lose weight? How to live without sugar and salt? What to do if I can’t find organic carrots?” These are the questions that keep popping up in our minds.
We figured it out and want to share 6 scientifically proven answers to the most frequently asked questions about nutrition with you.
Instant Energy Boost
Our total body energy depends on the food we eat. Regular consumption of brown rice, honey, and eggs will help you stay active.
But if you need an instant energy boost, don’t rush to another energy drink because it contains a lot of sugar and caffeine, which will give you artificial energy. Instead, eating an apple will naturally boost your energy.
Foods That Don’t Increase Cholesterol
Eating cholesterol is not always bad. It all depends on the type of fat a product contains. Products such as butter, sausages, milk chocolate, and even candies are rich in saturated fats that increase cholesterol levels, while unsalted cereals, beans, lentils, and nuts are the products that help lower the levels of cholesterol naturally because they are low in this type of fat.
Eggs, prawns, and liver, despite being rich in cholesterol, do not actually increase their level in our body. Yogurt and other whole dairy products, on the other hand, may seem harmless, but the amount of saturated fat they contain is very high. That is why it is better to limit your consumption.
Gluten
Only a small part of the world’s population is gluten intolerant. All other people (about 90%) can freely consume wheat and other gluten-containing products.
Superfoods
There is no product that can help your body stay healthy and at the same time, if your diet is balanced, no product will stand out.
There are products that contain slightly healthier items than others, such as spinach, broccoli, blueberries, chickpeas, lentils, beans, cabbage, peaches, and nuts. They should be included in your menu right away.
Bread
Tasty freshly baked bread is a pleasure that has nothing to do with healthy eating. You can eat bread, but you should not consider it an important component of a healthy diet.
Carbohydrates
A healthy high-grade diet is impossible without carbohydrates. All useful plant products are a source of carbohydrates.
You should exclude refined foods and foods high in sugar from your diet, not because they are high in carbohydrates, but because they contain fat, sodium, and other dangerous ingredients. Carbs are not bad, unhealthy junk food is bad!
