To get a healthy diet, we first need to know seven tips to stay healthy:
- Eat lots of fruits and vegetables
Fruits and vegetables are among the most important foods for the supply of vitamins, minerals and fiber that our body needs for good health and normal immune function. - Select whole grains on refined grains.
Whole grains, unlike refined grains, retain most of the structure of the grain, retaining layers that contain vitamins, minerals, and fiber. In addition, whole grains also provide an important source of carbohydrates that give us energy and can help us feel full longer. - Replace saturated with saturated fat
Fat is an essential part of a healthy diet. However, not all fats have the same effect on our health. Replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats can help reduce bad cholesterol levels (bad cholesterol) and reduce the risk of heart disease. - Limit foods and beverages that are high in fat, sugar and salt.
Foods and beverages high in fat, sugar and salt, such as cookies, french fries, chocolate and sugary drinks, when consumed in large quantities can lead to us consuming more calories than we need. - Check the size of the portion
It can be difficult to get the right portion, especially when cooking at home. Understanding what the right side looks like can help us balance energy and avoid walking down or forward. - Choose both plant and animal proteins
Protein is essential for the proper functioning of our body and our immune system. We can get protein from animal and plant sources such as beans, grains, fish, eggs, dairy products and meat. Our proteins need to change depending on the stage of our life. - Keep hydrated
Hydration is essential for general health. How much water we need depends on age, sex, weight, height, level of physical activity and environmental conditions.
