NUTRITION AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

Contrary to what we might think in terms of nutrition, the world is not only confronted with problems of deficiency, but also to overeating responsible for most of non communicable diseases constantly increasing. It is characterized by the increase in overweight people who have a very high risk of developing diabetes, high blood pressure or heart disease. Lack of physical activity that increases in the population is an aggravating factor in this situation. In the eyes of most of us, obesity is a guarantee of good present life, but be warned it does not guarantee a good future life. Many people have too much weight for their height; apparently they eat more than necessary and not necessarily the right foods. They are not doing enough physical activity. A balanced diet can be healthy. An unbalanced diet can cause many problems. Every food we eat plays a distinct role in our body. There are some that provide energy (like rice), and others who protect us (fruits, vegetables), and others that allow the structure of the body (red and white meat, fish ...). By cooking, we bring the balance between these three groups (structure, protection and energy). We should be avoid all that is very fat, very sweet and very salty, or at least limit them. For people who have very high physical activity, it takes more than foods that provide energy by reducing other types of food. For obese people, there is no miracle, you have to eat in smaller quantities and make physical activity.
