Eating Well

Physical health involves necessarily a balanced diet.

The adage "you must eat to live and not live to eat" is a dietary truth:

=> proof is that people who eat too much or eat poorly, have all sorts of problems: cholesterol, diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, skin problems, etc...

=> when we eat poorly, the risks to our health are numerous, but in industrialized countries , it runs more risks because of the excesses rather than the shortcomings. Obesity is also increasing steadily.

The balance in our plate: 

Eating Well in any reasonable quantity

It sounds simplistic. Yet, we have all that is good for our health without necessarily having to resort to alternative, drugs, and other capsules, although some people may use it for reasons relating to:

=> age;

=> fragility (disease);

=> or a temporary state.

The key to a healthy adult, is:

=> Learn to compose his meal of the day according to the standards of dietetics: that is to say respecting the quantities of proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals essential to our daily balance.

=> Limit excesses: overeating, eating too fast, skip one or more meals, drinking too little water...

=> Do not make too restrictive diets: beware of diets that inherently eliminate all fats and all sugars (which affect respectively the skin elasticity and  the brain functioning that needs glucose). Diets should always be followed by a graduate dietitian or a doctor and must remain exceptional.

Eating well and emotional balance

Eating well, not only to please our bodies, but staying physically healthy and keeping the line.

Eating well is also:

=> run your taste buds and take pleasure in tasting flavors;

=> a social process that allows us to maintain relationships with friends or with family and closer links over a meal;

=> a moment of relaxation after a hard day: hence the importance of smell and taste the food in a moment of serenity while ignoring our problems and social conflicts;

=> eating slowly and taking your time. Do not eat in a hurry. By eating slowly, in a calm environment:

- taking the time to chew food you get faster in a satiation state;

- conversely: swallow without chewing does not hold enough and we are eating twice as much.
