A Guide to Healthy Eating

Most often, achieving and maintaining health and good form seems to be a complex and difficult goal to achieve, but a proper and balanced diet with exercise and moderate physical activity is the key to success. Bodybuster Fitness Bootcamps will give you some basic rules that need to be followed so that the result is not missed: 

First, it is important that the body gets a variety of foods through the meal. There are five groups of essential nutrients - proteins or proteins, carbohydrates or sugars, lipids or fats, minerals and vitamins - whose intake must be balanced and adapted to the individual condition and needs of the person. 

Second, a certain amount of nutrients must be taken into the body with a meal. It must suit your age, build and current needs. 

The pyramid of healthy eating 

To some, these rules may seem too general, and to some demanding. However, the good news is that there are many signposts on the way to the destination. Perhaps the most famous and most useful is the so-called. 

The pyramid divides food into three groups, and the division is based on the frequency of consumption of individual foods. Thus, certain foods must be eaten often, while others must be eaten in moderation, and there are also foods that are better avoided in the daily diet and eaten only on exceptional occasions. In addition to the distribution of foods, the food pyramid basically determines the desired lifestyles, guidelines that emphasize the importance of physical activity, raising awareness of the importance of breathing and, finally, the importance of nurturing mental satisfaction and enjoyment of life. The best diet is the one that will ensure the intake of all nutrients in appropriate proportions with an emphasis on monitoring the required number of total calories consumed. 

What is important to know is that the ratio of carbohydrates, fats and proteins is the one that must be balanced and adjusted to daily needs, and is usually: 55 to 60% carbohydrates, 30 to 35% fat and 10 to 15% protein. Of course, with these macronutrients, the body must get the necessary number of micronutrients such as vitamins, minerals and, finally, water. When these ratios are maintained, it can be argued with certainty that even reducing the total calories during the day will not harm the body because it will provide the basic nutrients. 

How many calories does the body need? 

It is also important to know that the body needs about 1200 to 2000 kcal per day for basal metabolism, and this depends on body composition and gender. Basal metabolism involves the basic satisfaction of energy needs in the resting phase of the organism. Basal metabolism satisfies anabolic (building) and catabolic (breaking down) processes in the body, as well as respiration, digestion, brain function, heart and overall circulation. Women should take in an average of about 1200-1600 kcal a day if their lifestyle is mostly sedentary. The planned long-term restrictive diet for women involves an intake of about 1200 kcal per day, which means a reduction in daily intake by 300 - 400 kcal.
