Legumes Such as Staple Food
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.
