For many people it is quite difficult to choose what to eat, whether to go on a diet or just to maintain healthy eating habits. The good news is that you don't need to deprive yourself of much. Some foods are very tasty and very nutritious and can be consumed by anyone, except those with allergies or special restrictions. We have listed below the foods that should be consumed daily to provide a healthier life and maintain good shape.
Fresh and dehydrated fruits: Fresh fruits contain several vitamins and minerals and are great for hydration, that is, they are mainly recommended for people who have not gotten into the habit of drinking a lot of water during the day. In the rush of everyday life, it is possible to opt for dehydrated foods, which have the same nutrients, but with a smaller portion of liquids. It is important to emphasize that dehydrated fruits are good sources of fiber, but care must be taken not to consume them in excess, as large quantities can make you gain weight. The ideal is to eat them in the same proportion as fresh fruits.
Rice and beans: main components of Brazilian lunch, this combined duo provides almost all the nutrients necessary for a healthy diet. They help maintain glucose and protein levels and have large amounts of calcium, phosphorus, iron and vitamins. In addition to being complementary, many nutrients from one help to enhance the effects and absorption of the other, hence the importance of being consumed together. The ideal is to consume one serving of beans and two of rice daily.
Chestnuts: they are also good sources of fiber, minerals and great for quick snacks between meals. The fatty acids present in nuts help prevent heart disease, cancer, premature aging, diabetes, among other benefits. They should be consumed in small portions daily, as they are rich in fats that can have the opposite effect.
Dark green vegetables: they are rich in iron, zinc and other minerals that prevent various diseases. They must be consumed daily and without restrictions. You just need to be careful that the leaves are always fresh. This group includes mustard, arugula, broccoli, kale, among others.
