Surely many of the points we will discuss below are not new, but they are very important to consider for our well-being and health. But, if the method is well known, why do we sometimes find it so hard to put it into practice? Maintaining a balanced diet is essential not only for keeping in shape but, much more importantly, for the good functioning of the body (including the brain and cognitive development). We recommend: Healthy recipes. That’s why we will never tire of offering you recommendations related to this goal. Because eating better and healthier is possible! To achieve this, don't forget: Maintain a fixed schedule for main meals. Chew food slowly. Consume a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, up to 600 grams daily. Fill your shopping cart with low-fat or skim dairy products. Choose ‘healthy fats’ like olive oil, preferably virgin, for its higher antioxidant content. Consume fish, especially fatty fish, 3 or more times a week. Opt for lean meats such as chicken, turkey, rabbit, or ostrich. Don’t forget that soft drinks and sugary beverages have many calories, and overindulging in them will lead to weight gain. Exercise at least 4 times a week for 40 minutes a day, adapted to your condition. Avoid miracle remedies and diets not recommended by doctors or health professionals at all costs.
