How to be more youthful and healthier through a balanced diet?
We eat to live. But how to live longer and better? The answer is simple - with the help of a balanced diet. Nutrition affects a person in every way, for example through weight, skin and nail condition, mental well-being, life expectancy. Nutritionist and trainer Kendra Vaino will answer questions on this topic.
Why is a balanced diet important?
From food we get the macronutrients - carbohydrates, proteins and fats - that provide energy for life, as well as micronutrients - vitamins and minerals - that are indispensable for the functioning of the body.
With a varied diet that meets our energy needs, we can get all the necessary vitamins and minerals directly from food. A varied and balanced diet means that you have to eat something from all food groups: grains, fruits and vegetables, dairy products, fish, eggs and meat, edible fats (including nuts and seeds). The supply of most vitamins and minerals in the body is short-lived, so our diet must be varied every day.
How does a balanced diet help keep us younger and healthier?
A balanced diet keeps our body functioning effectively and helps us stay healthy and energetic. Antioxidants play a special role here, such as vitamins A, C and E, coenzyme Q10 and the minerals selenium, magnesium and zinc. The function of antioxidants is to eliminate free radicals from the body. As a result of these activities, antioxidants slow down aging, help fight allergies, reduce the risk of certain diseases (eg heart disease, cancer) and strengthen our immune system.
Exercising with a heavier load could also monitor the potassium and magnesium levels of the food and ensure that the iron levels are within the normal range. Examples of antioxidant-rich foods are pomegranate, blueberries, kale, spinach, broccoli, raspberries, beets, liver, egg, shrimp, fish, nuts, seeds.
Who should pay special attention to the consumption of multivitamins and minerals?
Some people (infants, athletes, pregnant women, the elderly) may have an increased need for micronutrients. In this case, you must make changes to your diet or take multivitamins and / or minerals as a food supplement. The need for a food supplement may arise, in particular, if the necessary substances are not obtained from the food due to allergies, food intolerances or medical conditions. To see if you may need supplements, it is a good idea to consult a GP first, who will help you define your complaints more precisely, and have a diagnosis made, or a nutritionist who can help you adjust your menu.
