To strengthen the body, you need a balanced diet rich in vitamins and microelements. In order for you to receive all the necessary substances and microelements, your diet should be as varied as possible. Every day, your diet should include all the main food groups: dairy, starchy foods, vegetables, fruits, sources of complex carbohydrates, protein and fats.
Complex carbohydrates are found in cereals, pasta, potatoes, bran bread and whole grain yeast-free bread. They take a long time to digest, unlike simple carbohydrates found in sugar, cookies, cakes and other sweets. A person also needs indigestible carbohydrates – fiber or dietary fiber. They create a feeling of satiety and are also good for digestion. Such carbohydrates are found in oatmeal and whole grain bread. In addition, our body needs fats, as they help to absorb vitamins A and E. If there is not enough fat in the body, the skin looks worse, the liver suffers, and sex hormones stop being produced. Fats can be saturated or unsaturated. The latter are better absorbed, and therefore more useful. They are good to get from fatty fish, avocados, almonds, and olive oil. Of course, the consumption of foods containing hidden unhealthy fats, such as mayonnaise, sausage, and cakes, should be limited.
Protein sources are fish, meat, dairy products, eggs, legumes, nuts, and mushrooms.
Eat as many vegetables and fruits as possible, preferably unprocessed, to better preserve the vitamins.
