Diets & Nutrition

Eating right is the simplest and cheapest way to getting in shape and avoid many diseases, especially cardiovascular diseases and obesity. The main cause of a bad health and frequent illness is usually an unhealthy nutrition.

The massive consumption of fats, sweets and floury products leads to obesity. And obesity doesn’t come alone, it brings all sorts of health problems with it. Usually the modern fattening food doesn’t give your body the essential nutrients it needs, like vitamins and minerals. The lack of vitamins and minerals is another cause for the rise of illness around the world. Illness and obesity apparently are best friends.

What you should be eating is more fresh fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables are low fat and full of vitamins and minerals. The opposite of junk food.

You should drink coffee only if you drink it without sugar or with honey in it. Avoid eating fried foods as much as possible. You can replace the fried foods with foods boiled or cooked in the oven.
