First of all, let’s clarify what nutrition is. This is the process by which our body receives:
- Energy for performing various actions, moving around, maintaining temperature, synthesizing the necessary elements – mainly from carbohydrates and fats.
- Building material for the renewal of our body – first of all from such nutritional components as proteins, then micro – and macronutrients, fats and carbohydrates.
- Biologically active substances – hormones, coenzymes (a segment of enzymes that is necessary for the manifestation of their activity).
- Certain influence on the mental system. Nature has created a self-regulation mechanism – hunger causes discomfort, makes you look for food, its satisfaction activates the pleasure center in the brain.
Reading and understanding the importance and complexity of all the functions of nutrition, it is obvious that the issue of building proper nutrition is not simple, but it is not unattainable in the presence of desire and aspiration.
What results can proper nutrition provide?
First of all, thanks to a healthy diet, it is possible to preserve and restore (in some cases) health – to get rid of diseases and prevent the development of new pathologies. And also, which is especially important for many women, to prolong youth and beauty. In addition, eating well can help you reduce and stabilize your weight while avoiding severe violent restrictions.
By and large, we all strive to have great well-being, which can be presented by a properly organized diet. In addition, you can also note the time, effort, money saved, and all this will be aimed at achieving those goals and desires that we have in this life.
Nutrition problems
It would probably be very reasonable to instill in children at school and students in universities the basics of healthy eating, to make this subject one of the main ones. Since a huge number of diseases are caused by improper nutrition – a lack or an excess of biologically important nutrients. And many people have absolutely no idea what they eat and how it will affect their body.
Only a small number of people are quite clearly aware that the problem of nutrition is currently serious, both at the global level and at the level of Russia. In the conditions of modern life, according to domestic and world experience, the human body cannot be provided only through diets with the necessary amount of vital nutrients. And this is due to the following factors:
- With environmental nutritional problems (soil depletion, environmental pollution).
- With modern production technologies, which cause the loss of biologically valuable substances.
- With high-temperature cooking modes.
- With a violation of the structure and diet.
The level of nutrition in Russia is evidenced by such basic health indicators as average life expectancy (60 years), mortality. In 63 regions of the country, where 70% of the population lives, depopulation is evidenced – a systematic decrease in the population.
The problem of nutrition is solved through recommendations on how to correctly combine food and dietary supplements (BAA).
How do you eat right?
There are several ways to organize this.
The first option is to contact a specialist if there is such a desire and financial opportunities allow. These can be nutritionists or nutritionists, the latter mainly should be engaged in the development of nutrition for people suffering from diseases (nutritional therapy). An individual diet will be selected for you, taking into account many factors, and joint work will be carried out.
Another option is to study independently, resorting to it or not, in some cases to consultations. As part of this path, you can select and implement the basic principles and rules of healthy eating in your life. Or you can choose a nutrition program for yourself, developed by professional nutritionists or nutritionists.
In any case, in order to come to the expected result, you will need desire, focus, training (searching for information, studying, analyzing, working on yourself – changing habits), analyzing the results.
Of course, a person is a desire to receive, but in order to receive something, you will first have to give. Each person consciously or subconsciously understands that the main source of happiness is progress or growth – movement forward. Thus, striving and moving towards building proper nutrition will bring us significantly more advantages and justify the difficulties that we will have to face.
