Here are some basic principles for healthy eating:
Eat a varied diet: Eat a variety of different foods, including vegetables, fruits, whole grains, protein** (meat, legumes, nuts, etc.) and healthy fats (e.g., olive oil, fish, etc.) to ensure your body gets the nutrients it needs.
Control total calorie intake: Reasonably control the total calorie intake per day according to factors such as an individual's age, gender, height, weight, and activity level to avoid being overweight or obese.
Control carbohydrate intake: Choose carbohydrates** that are low in sugar or fiber, such as whole grains, brown rice, oats, etc., and avoid excessive intake of refined sugars and processed foods.
Increase dietary fiber intake: Eat more vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, which are rich in dietary fiber, which can help enhance satiety and control blood sugar and blood lipids.
Moderate protein intake: Choose low-fat proteins**, such as fish, lean meats, legumes, nuts, etc., and avoid excessive intake of high-fat meats and processed meat products.
Control your fat intake: Choose healthy fats**, such as olive oil, fish, etc., and avoid too much saturated and trans fats.
Maintain water balance: Drink enough water and other sugar-free, low-calorie beverages every day and avoid too much sugary drinks and alcohol.
Regular and quantitative measurements: Follow regular eating times and portion control to avoid overeating and excessive hunger.
Know the nutrient content of food: When buying and choosing food, pay attention to the nutrient content and ingredient list of food, and choose foods with health characteristics such as low sugar, low fat, and high fiber.
In conclusion, a healthy diet requires long-term adherence and the development of good lifestyle habits, which is an important foundation for maintaining good health. At the same time, it is also necessary to carry out reasonable nutritional matching and portion control according to individual circumstances and needs.
