Many times I find that my patients tell me that from, well, you say that I have to eat healthy but can you tell me what that is healthy eating? Because I think I’m eating well and every day I’m fatter / more bloated ay / a. And when I hear this I think yes, they’re right. Every day we are bombarded with hundreds of advertising messages that tell us that the products advertised are the healthiest and then one goes and reads the newspaper that do not know what U.S. university (always in the U.S.) have found that not know which plant is used to prevent heart attack or cancer or diabetes, and eventually we become such a mess do not really know what to eat and how much.

All we are clear that the excesses are bad and there are few foods that we eat lots without being harmful to our body, but it will be able to specify in each case the recommended amount of each food is a world. Trying to make a treaty openly reduced nutritional capacity and beyond the scope of this article (and I would almost say that this writer) but I can hope to give you some touches of what the majority of Spanish and foreign scientific societies consider eating well.

To start you must stay clear that there is no food in itself, contains all the nutrients we need, therefore, it is essential that our food is varied. Let’s see now, groups, how should each contribute to our diet.

Vegetables and vegetables are essential to our diet. They are, as it were, a pillar. They contain plenty of fiber (which helps us to go to the bathroom) but is also packed with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. It is preferable to eat them raw to take advantage of all its nutrients and, if boiling, also consume the broth. They are, therefore, daily (about 300-400 grams a day).

Fruits are another important source of fiber, vitamins, minerals and water. We drink it in juice but it is better to take them whole and fresh. We’ve all seen the television campaign that advised to take 5 pieces of fruit a day, preferably some of them rich in vitamin C such as, orange.

We are aware that weight loss have to decide for a comprehensive plan that includes light food, fresh, slightly sweetened and physical exercise also in some cases we must not overlook the fact consume food and vitamin supplements, and even follow psychological therapy.

This is due to the state of mind is critical to the success of a diet should not blame us if you ever fall into the temptation, since several studies support that making a “venial sin” (chocolate, beer, cheese , etc.) can be positive for the ultimate goal.

Sometimes, the secret is moderation, not abstinence. Know what these small tastes, experts say, we can afford without implying a possible failure of our diet or weight gain.

If you cannot do without chocolate, either in the form of chocolate filling, cake or cookie, do not worry, according to a comprehensive study is evidence that women with lighter weight problems that were granted a small serving per day for their favorite food , were less likely to gorge on the food after two weeks of deprivation.

Stress, fatigue and weight gain are companions in misfortune. Stress can lead you to choose foods that are not good for you, these same foods are often addictive as its consumption is increasing, and your body, which is poorly nourished, the bill ends up charging you. You feel tired and the cycle begins again, to break it remains to tackle the stress.

One of the major problems today is the lack of sleep. Cut hours of sleep to your night in your body releases hormones that are guilty of shooting your stress levels. There is a direct correlation between people who sleep less than eight hours a day and those with a high body mass.

Stressed

To help you sleep more hours each night, at least seven attempts to avoid exercise, alcohol and caffeine during the last hours of the day, and try to go to bed early. If you sleep all day at the same time and wake up to another particular, your body responds better to this routine and fall asleep faster.
