Re-establishing the eating routine

One of the most important points is food. It is the basis of our life and is responsible for providing energy and nutrients to our bodies. A healthy diet is a fundamental pillar for good health and disease prevention. Where do we come from? From a time when we tend to over-consume saturated fats, salt and sugars, probably accompanied by a low level of physical activity. This makes us feel heavier, fatigued and less encouraged to face the routine. How to deal with it? Recovering the daily food routine: balanced, varied and satisfactory. We give you some tips to carry it out.

Practice the “Mediterranean Diet”.

One of the healthiest diets catalogued by the WHO. The Mediterranean diet is much more than a dietary pattern, over the years it has become a healthy lifestyle highly recommended by medical experts around the world. Its DNA includes recipes, ways of cooking, local products and other healthy habits such as the siesta or the sociable nature of individuals to share meals or dinners. Some of the health benefits include lowering cholesterol levels, preventing obesity and overweight, regulating intestinal transit, the antioxidant effect and promoting quality of life.
