Our pace of work, the level of fatigue throughout the day and how we feel in general, depends heavily on food. A balanced diet will make us increase performance in all facets of day, but for that we have to know that we share of food to consume.

The pharmaceutical Nutrition Center has prepared a study on the subject, which reports that, in general, the carbohydrate intake is not adequate. Depending on your physical activity, there should be more vegetables, fruits and vegetables (if the lifestyle is more sedentary) or more pasta, rice or potatoes (in case of a high physical activity).

The study shows that two thirds of the Spanish population includes only vegetables on the menu three times a month or less. While 71% abused every day of the carbohydrates of rapid assimilation without linking them to physical activity and 18% do so at most three out of seven days.

Nutritionists recommend taking pulses, and other carbohydrates slow assimilation, two or three times a week, which can only follow him 35% of the Spanish. According to Sara Jiménez, Technical Director of the laboratory responsible for the study, “the amount and rate at which carbohydrates assimilated is related to the sensation of hunger.” Hence, after the intake of carbohydrates rapid assimilation, hunger reappears before.

Therefore, we scale the pasta and rice consumption by type of physical activity we conduct, and to the extent appropriate substitute for legumes and vegetables. So, we will provide our body the nutrients you really need and managed to balance our diet.

Grains (bread, pasta, rice, etc.). Give us energy in the form of carbohydrates and are a cornerstone of our food. The grains are rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals. We can take 3 to 4 servings daily.

Nuts contain lots of energy and unsaturated fatty acids that help us reduce our cholesterol, also have lots of fiber and lots of vitamin E is a potent antioxidant. If we can eat our weight from 3 to 7 servings a week.

Sugars and sugary drinks are expendable and dangerous because they cause obesity and diabetes.

Wine and beer are an important source of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, but obviously must be consumed in moderation by adults (2 servings per day for men and between 1 and 1.5 servings per day for women).

Finally the water is basic to life in general and ours in particular. You have to drink quality water and at least 1.5 to 2 liters a day if your kidneys are healthy and we intend to continue estándolo.

So far this little summary of the food groups that I hope you have shed some light on what foods they eat daily and what others have to leave for the holy days.

Sticking with the theme of summer fruit in a few days ago we started.
But if there is something that conventional wisdom attributes to the fruit is its high vitamin content. And if it goes there. Apricots, persimmons, melons and oranges are rich in vitamin A and citrus fruits (oranges, lemons, and grapefruit), strawberries and raspberries are in vitamin C. The B vitamins are low in fruits of which we speak.

On the other hand we have the minerals. Iron, calcium and iodine almost go to look for vegetables and fruits that are present in very low amounts, but if we’re going to find is other minerals such as potassium which is necessary as the previous ones, especially when we sweat and if some players watch what they eat during the breaks of the matches.
And now, to eat. The idea is to eat the fruit as is much of the fiber has is in the skin and, if it is edible, do not eat more than us and help us to improve our intestinal transit.

Another option is the juice with him do a little trick that we lose much of the fiber that gives us the fruit and, as I said, it helps to go to the bathroom but better than nothing. With the important thing is to drink juice immediately after squeezing the fruit, since if we do so, we risk losing the vitamins it contains.
But we can eat the dried fruit. With this type of preparation is much water loss are preserved, however, carbohydrates, fats, proteins and minerals, but lost most of the proteins, especially vitamin C.
To finish the article, the million dollar question, when should I eat fruit? As you well know rivers of ink have been run and there are many different views on the subject but in reality there is no scientific consensus about when to eat it. Certain diets, such as decoupled, place it very clearly in his scheme, but when it comes to healthy eating, varied, complete and hypocaloric (the plays do) that clearly is not. Digest the fruit is not easy for the stomach, which is why some authors advise that consumed before meals so that the sugars they contain are digested smoothly and at the same time, give fullness to decrease our intake later.

It is true that fruits like pineapple easy to digest proteins best when consumed with other foods. But if we eat dessert can keep us out looking for sweets that contain carbohydrates and fats rapid absorption harmful to health, and also contain acids that help us with dental hygiene.
Anyway, as you can see, the thing is far from clear. In short, eat fruit and eat it when it suits them but never forget to do so when they do will be eating the same number of calories.

I am absolutely convinced that you have all seen the TV ads that were issued about how healthy it is to eat fruit. That campaign in which all five fingers of a hand symbolizing the five pieces of fruit a day is necessary to ingest. The campaign focused mainly in children but it goes without saying that eating fruit is not something only children but also adults. I think, taking the heat is upon us, is a good time to talk a little bit of these summer fruits that fill color our markets and are an endless source of health and an indispensable part of our diet.

The fruit that we consume regularly (pears, apples, peaches, oranges, etc.). Has very little fat and protein but, instead, is full of carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals although, obviously, what else is is water, sometimes over 90% of its composition. To give you an idea I’ll give you some data, a banana has about 76% water, 86% cherry, a strawberry and a 90% to 95% watermelon.

Carbohydrates, ie sugars vary greatly in amount depending on the fruit we are talking about. For example, the same watermelon we spoke barely a 5% sugar, but has a pineapple and a banana 11% to 21%. But it’s also within a single type of fruit may be important differences. There are figs that fail 10% of sugars and, in contrast, are very sweet that can exceed 20%. These differences are due to different degrees of maturation, water (rain or irrigation) received the land on which the tree is located and other factors. Therefore, when eating certain fruits and in itself with significant carbohydrate content have to be careful not to spend calories. Making a generalization (although we all know that generalizing is bad) that we use to calculate guesswork carbohydrates from fruits most commonly, as a rule we can say that generally (and I say usually) have about 40 Kcal. Per 100 grams of pulp. (Continued)

the food pyramid is the cornerstone for developing good eating habits. This chart is the guide that all people must continue daily to maintain a healthy body. It is true that it is sometimes difficult to follow everything to the letter, but the truth is that the effort is worthwhile.

As many know, at the base are the most important foods, and as it rises through the graph we find the less relevant. At the bottom we have the fruits, vegetables, dairy, bread and vegetables. These are daily intake and are the most important in the diet.

Above we find other foods to be eaten several times a week, although at a lower level compared to the base. We’re talking about eggs, nuts, fish, chicken, etc.. They belong to healthy food ingredients, and preach the variety in food.

Finally, the top of the pyramid group’s foods less recommended for consumption and should be eaten only occasionally. Foods are high in sugar and fat.

Endless appetite syndrome is a problem that, at various levels, affects many people and creates a vicious circle: eat more, gain weight, and feel bad for personal image-troubled. Disable this circular process requires a change of habit and the adoption of renewed activity for the body and the mind. The “mirror of the mind” is the kick to counter this problem and recover against your wishes.

Plant proteins are an excellent choice to animal proteins. They are nutrients that provide amino acids, although not all contain the essential amino acids are necessary to know how to combine them that there are no gaps.

One of the most desirable foods in the diet and with plenty of vegetable protein, plus fiber, vitamins and minerals, are legumes, where the richest in plant protein are beans, followed by soybeans and where they are important all products such as soy milk, tempeh, tofu or textured soy protein.
