The correct fuel to our engine

To be able to do our daily life tasks, for example commuting to work, doing housework, reading a book, etc… Our body requires energy, just as a car needs fuel to run. We provide our body with energy through nutrition, and the better the fuel, in this case the food we eat, the better it will work.

An equilibrated diet consists of providing the calories needed through consuming foods that contain proteins, carbohydrates and fats in the proper amounts. For an average healthy adult person the recommended daily diet should be based on 40% carbs, 30% fats and 30% proteins.

When putting together your diet you have to take into account your own metabolism, since for every person it varies slightly. It is very recommended to get an expert’s opinion to adjust numerous requirements to your own physiology, things such as: age, sex, body development stage, daily physical activity…
We recommend a diet based on a majority of plant and vegetal based products and fewer products with animal origin, but this doesn’t mean that they should be removed from your food intake all together.
A good example of a diet that fits within this category would be the Mediterranean diet, which promotes the consumption of cereals, fruits, vegetables but also includes all kinds of fish, olive oil and a moderate intake of meats and animal fats.

It is important for us to make our diet something likeable and healthy at the same time, considering the amount and the quality of what we eat. Five intakes per day are recommended, without forgetting about drinking 2 liters of water approximately.
