A LITTLE SOMETHING

Balanced diet is the best way to be healthy, as they say. But what does it mean? Let's have a look at a health pyramid which has evolved a lot since its prototype. So-called health experts and dieticians do their best and make sure we lead happy, healthy and slim lives. That's why, they suggest that we do some sports, it can be anything - walking or cycling to work instead of driving, taking the stairs instead of a lift, etc. It isn't necessary to take up a sport which can be quite expensive and time-consuming. Everyday simple activities will do.

We should eat 4-5 regular meals a day. Vegetables and friut should be the basics of our diet. Next, wholegrain products, such as bread, pasta and brown rice. Dairy products - if you don't like milk, it can be substituted for natural yoghurt or kefir. Red meat is said to be overrated and it shouldn't be eaten in excess. Instead, we should eat legumes, fish, eggs and lean meat. When it comes o fats, we should opt for plant oils, like olive oil or rapeseed oil. Last but not least, sweets (which can be substituted for fruit) and salt (substituted for herbs) are bad, bad, bad... and should be eliminated.
