There is not a single rigid standard of nutrition for all mankind, nor an ideal diet
There is not a single rigid standard of nutrition for all mankind, nor an ideal diet. Someone is more mobile, someone is less, someone has restrictions on products related to chronic diseases, age, sports, personal preferences. Therefore, you should adhere to the most general rules, adjusting the diet for yourself individually. For people losing or gaining weight, the proportions are different. Should you limit yourself in meat, salt, sugar, spices, sweet carbonated drinks, coffee, fast food, alcohol, etc.? If you are a healthy person, then limit - yes, but categorically refuse - it is not necessary. Sometimes psychological restrictions are no less harmful than restrictions in food. The lack of regular physical activity has a negative effect on health - this is a proven fact. You don't have to start going to the gym for two hours tomorrow morning - start small: 10-15 minutes with a training video on the mat in front of the TV; give up transport for up to an hour on foot; give up the elevator and actively climb the escalator; swim in the pool for the weekend; play volleyball with friends in the yard. Anything to move. For people over the age of 18, half an hour of movement per day is a living wage. Prevent the disease and keep in mind that at the age of 40 you should see a doctor once a year. For women over the age of 25, breast ultrasound and mammography should also be mandatory every two years. For people over 40 years of age, these tests and examinations are supplemented with: a sugar test for the timely detection of diabetes; a cardiogram. In women, due to age-related hormonal changes, the risk of developing osteoporosis increases, so densitometry - the study of bone density - becomes relevant. Finally, fight bad habits and take good care of your sleep, and you will be healthy for many years to come.
