Mediterranean Diet and healthy life
In a healthy life, food is very important. It is also convenient to do some exercise and follow some sleep routines that allow a regenerative rest.
From Bajamar we propose some guidelines for a balanced diet based on the Mediterranean Diet.
The diet should preferably be varied, including all food groups, which contain the different nutrients: carbohydrates, protein and fat, and vitamins and minerals, all necessary for the proper functioning of the body.
Most of the intake of the diet must come from carbohydrates, approximately 60%, trying not to exceed 10% of the daily calories from simple carbohydrates, such as sugar. 15% protein and 25% fat.
That 25% fat equals 5 tablespoons of olive oil a day. But keep in mind that the intake of fats includes all the contributions of fat, those of the food itself and those used in its preparation. One of the pillars of the Mediterranean Diet is olive oil, the best ally of a healthy cooking, since it prevents cholesterol.
A common error is the size of the portions, the trend is to overfeed. A portion of lean meat protein equals about 125 gr., Fish 125-150 gr.
Saturated fats, sweets, sugary and alcoholic beverages are not forbidden, but should be consumed occasionally and within a balanced diet.
These dietary considerations are for a healthy adult, when you have to treat high cholesterol, hypertension, overweight, it is advisable to have the support of a medical specialist to monitor the diet and help us integrate it into our daily lives.
