Healthy Food Promotion Week

Healthy Food Promotion Week

    From December 18 to 24, a Week of promoting healthy eating is being held in Russia as part of the National Health Project. Maintaining a healthy, balanced diet helps to avoid metabolic disorders and associated diseases. Good health is an effective result of working on yourself, your food preferences, including giving up delicious, but not necessary treats for the body. And then your body will reward you with wonderful well-being and longevity. One of the most important components of a healthy lifestyle, which determines the state of human health by more than 50%, is nutrition. Meetings with doctors, explanations, conversations, lectures, printed materials contribute to familiarization with the basics of healthy nutrition for vacationers of the sanatorium "Krasivo".

    The occurrence of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, and oncology is facilitated by an unbalanced diet, abundant in simple sugars, saturated fats, and excess calories, but deficient in important nutrients. Aggressive advertising of fast food, a huge range of processed products, and cunningly constructed marketing by retailers encourages excessive consumption of harmful products. It is important to understand this and fill your daily food basket correctly. There are simple rules that make it possible to make a diet not only healthy, but also optimal for a particular person:

1. The balance between energy coming from food and its consumption.

2. Limit salt intake to 5 g per day (1 tsp).

3. Consumption of at least 400 g of seasonal vegetables, fruits, legumes.

4. Reducing the amount of fat. Don't overeat!

As the ancients said: "Let food be your medicine! Otherwise, the medicine will become food!"
