NUTRITION
In recent decades, professional and scientific progress has shown that the healthiest dietary habits are associated with a higher intake of vegetables, fruits, unrefined carbohydrates, and fiber. Recommended dietary regimens such as the Mediterranean diet and the DASH diet contain higher amounts of plant food sources than the standard Western and European diets. Such diets allow for reduced intake of refined carbohydrates, saturated fats, trans fats and cholesterol.
The consumption of processed and refined, industrially (or inn) prepared foods seems to contribute most to the development of obesity. Their characteristics include higher caloric density, lack of fiber, strong flavors, and higher levels of salt, fat, and sugar. Heavily processed and refined foods, especially those already prepared for immediate consumption, have a greater than average effect on appetite. Eating highly processed and refined, industrially prepared foods primarily increases the rate (or speed) of caloric intake during a meal so that finally the amount of ingested energy is larger.
The basic action we take to improve our diet is to take control of food preparation. We learn about healthy food composition, proper ingredient purchasing, and preparation. Let's plan our meals ahead of time and prepare them ourselves. Let's help ourselves by stocking up on certain nutrients and dishes. Let's take our healthy meals to work or school.
