What Is a Healthy Diet?

Various food stores have plenty of fresh organic fruit and vegetables available such as lettuce. Vegetables with high fiber content will reduce the LDL cholesterol because of low or even no cholesterol that it contains. Remember there are some, and be on the look out, foods that enhance LDL.

Amount Of Calories

It is far not a secret that there is a great amount of calories in the fast food. But there is also a trans fat in the fast food. Trans fat is the common name for a type of unsaturated fat with trans-isomer fatty acid. Trans fats which are commonly found in fast food have been shown in many tests to have a negative health effect on the body. A 2006 study fed monkeys a diet consisting of a similar level of trans fats as what a person who ate fast food regularly would consume. Both diets contained the same overall number of calories. It was found that the monkeys who consumed higher level of trans fat developed more abdominal fat than those fed a diet rich in unsaturated fats. They also developed signs of insulin resistance, which is an early indicator of diabetes. After six years on the diet, the trans fat fed monkeys had gained 7.2% of their body weight, compared to just 1.8% in the unsaturated fat group.
To sum up we would like to add that people should think what they eat.
Everyday we have no time to cook or no place to cook but we are hungry and we move to the nearest cafe or McDonald’s. There we can buy almost anything we want and we try to do it as quickly as it is possible. We eat quickly and move to our jobs, univerities etc. Fast food restaurants help us to save our time, but do they help to save our health? Many people consider this question to be childish and silly, but there is still a food for thought.

Ideal nutrition

To begin with, that we live in a non-ideal world. But it must be acknowledged, the pursuit of the ideal real. Proof - "an ideal figure." Her proportions are derived and known to all. Beauty has never left the winners. Table ideal weight is a big secret from itself is not. For men - the growth of negative weight for women take another ten units. But, as recognized by the holders of these ideal performance, they paid for hours exhausting exercise for weight loss, a permanent body purification, physical deprivation and self that has nothing to do with the ideal (from the perspective of an ordinary person) way of life. Are there ways in which our bodies have always been in excellent form and did not require a constant correction, because of innate tendency away from the ideal? How many ancient people lived? If on the basis of the Bible, it was surprised to discover that we do not live and tenth of that period, which was originally programmed for our Creator. You know, the age at which Noah got the job to build his famous ark? "It was the six hundredth year of Noah's life." "And all the days of Adam were nine hundred and thirty years!" First, it is important to not only the quality of consumer products, but it gets the man of the pleasure of eating. Doctors for centuries have drawn attention to the fact that those who eat with pleasure, less prone to cancer. Diseases, however, affect those who eat with indifference and during the meal did not think about food. In other words, consciousness does primarily! Therefore, any food will not be ideal for you if you do not think about it as such and absorbs without pleasure.
