Healthy eating is a hot topic of interest for both children and adults. It is based on balanced and varied consumption of food from which the body obtains the nutrients it needs to function. By healthy eating, a person not only improves their lifestyle and feels complete, but also supplies their body with everything it needs. A healthy diet combined with physical activity is considered the most reliable and safe method for long-term lowering of the risk of various diseases and achieving and maintaining an optimal weight and beautiful appearance.
However, there are some subtleties to pay attention to when it comes to healthy eating. It is important to know that healthy food is good for you, but you should not go over the top. The amount of food we eat daily also matters, as excessive intake can have the opposite effect, causing weight retention and even weight gain.
Another important element is the calm eating environment. For good digestion, it is also important to eat stress-free – in a slow and undisturbed manner. Fast eating itself poses a real danger to our health, no matter if the food we eat is healthy or not. When we eat we should try to take the time we need to enjoy our food. In this way, we can also prevent many of the diseases that result from fast eating, some of which are socially significant such as obesity, which in turn is a prerequisite for diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, gastritis, etc. The reason is that the hormones responsible for regulating appetite get "confused" and fail to relay information to the brain that we’ve had enough to eat, which also leads to a greater appetite.
Another important factor in maintaining good health is to develop an individual nutritional strategy tailored to the health, lifestyle, level of physical activity and other personal factors specific to the individual organism.
Good food is good care for us and our body. Developing healthy eating habits is not always easy, but when we make an effort in that respect, sooner or later we will see the result. It is important to be well acquainted with the basic principles and processes, for which a medical consultation with a specialist with good knowledge in the field of nutritional science – the science that studies nutrition – can be made.
