The principles of healthy eating
The formula for a proper, healthy diet is quite simple because it includes only two components, which are in direct dependence on each other. Its essence is as follows: the energy value of food (measured in calories) must match the energy expenditure of the body. Everyone knows that if a person eats a lot, but does not move enough, his unspent energy turns into excess weight. So, in maintaining a normal weight matters lifestyle, occupation, gender, physiological data, physical activity. But everyone can follow simple rules.
So, the right, that is, a balanced or rational, diet requires:
To observe the regime, to eat always at the same time;
Adhere to the eating schedule: breakfast, snack, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner. In this case, the main volume of food should enter the body during breakfast and lunch;
Take a break between meals of no more than 3 hours;
take into account the energy value of food and correctly distribute them in the meal schedule;
calculate the portion size of food, observing the "rule of the plate": 1/4 - complex carbohydrates, 1/4 - protein, 1/2 - vegetables, fruits, berries;
Combine fats, proteins, and carbohydrates according to personal physical activity, and do not forget about vitamins, microelements, and fiber;
give preference to vegetables and fruits, fish, poultry, lean meat, seafood, low-fat dairy products, legumes, whole grains, cereals
reduce salt, sugar, sweets and baked goods (fast carbohydrates), carbonated drinks, processed juices, and alcohol;
stick to healthy cooking methods: steaming, braising, and boiling;
include nutritional supplements and dietary supplements;
Only eat when you are hungry; do not eat food that is too cold or too hot; chew thoroughly
Try to eat dinner before 6 or 7 p.m;
Sleep at least seven hours a day and avoid stress.
What is the right way to switch to a healthy diet?
To maintain a normal weight, a comfortable feeling of well-being and the general well-being of the body, it is worth to think through a menu for each day, which is usually called a light diet for each day. A balanced diet should be made individually, for one day or one week. Her goal is nutritional balance, that is, the ratio of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, close to 1 - 1 - 4, which helps the body to fully digest the food and thus enrich the necessary substances. Thus, protein gives satiety, fats and carbohydrates give energy. We should not forget that diet and physical activity, optimal for age and health, bring a double benefit.
Taking nutritional supplements also plays a big role in maintaining health and a normal weight. So Amway offers healthy products as part of its Bodykey and BodyDetox programs.
