Don't dig your grave with your own knife and fork. ~English Proverb
The major health aliments that most of the world is suffering right now has the basic foundation of food or diet. This can be due to under nourishment or so called OVER nourishment.
The recent surveys has shown that the maximum drugs that has been sold are those used to treat diabetes and heart disease which can be very well prevented or can be atleast kept in control by having a good way of eating
So let me give my simple perspective on what can make you healthy just by changing your daily diet.
The effect:
The fat and sugars what you eat of course first goes into stomach but it is your coronaries that will ultimately get affected. The fats and sugars form a plaque more precisely an atherosclerotic plaque in your arteries. Atherosclerosis is the gradual buildup of cholesterol and fibrous tissue in plaques in the wall of arteries (in this case, the coronary arteries), typically over decades. Blood stream column irregularities visible on angiography reflect artery lumen narrowing as a result of decades of advancing atherosclerosis.Plaques can become unstable, rupture, and additionally promote a thrombus (blood clot) that occludes the artery; this can occur in minutes. When a severe enough plaque rupture occurs in the coronary vasculature, it leads to myocardial infarction (necrosis of downstream myocardium).
My options of occasional diets: pizza, burgers, aerated drinks, sweets, oil fried foods, red meat.
Foods to avoid at all costs : salami, bologna, and any other processed deli meat like the plague and cook your meat yourself.
EAT THIS:
WHO stated the food pyramid is a ideal way for a healthy life style. A food guide pyramid is a triangular or pyramid-shaped nutrition guide divided into sections to show the recommended intake for each food group. The first food pyramid was published in Sweden in 1974. The most widely known food pyramid was introduced by the United States Department of Agriculture in 1992, was updated in 2005, and then replaced in 2011. Over 25 other countries and organizations have also published food pyramids.
See this pyramid for an initial idea of what to eat
Now my idea of a healthy diet is as follows:
1) Whey protein: Whey is left over when milk coagulates and contains everything that is soluble from milk. It is a 5% solution of lactose in water, with some minerals and lactalbumin. It is removed after cheese is processed. Whey is an abundant source of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs),which are used to fuel working muscles and stimulate protein synthesis
2) Omega 3 fatty acids: Also known as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) these are mainly a combination of 3 amino acids and are very much necessary for healthy metabolism. The main functions of omega 3 fatty acids are Reduce inflammation throughout your body ,Maintain the fluidity of your cell membranes ,lower the amount of lipids (fats such as cholesterol and triglycerides) circulating in the bloodstream ,decrease platelet aggregation, preventing excessive blood clotting. The main sources of omega 3 fatty acids are fish(especially tuna), krill oil, flax seed oil, raspberry , walnuts etc.
3) Vegetables and fruits: ya the old school is here its always good to include a lots of veggies especially green ones and fruits especially citrus to your diet. There are some exceptions in taking these like the type of item , how it is cooked and the amount taken. Few vegetables are more harmful while taken in large amounts like potatoes, bananas, fava beans, and some high carb fruits should be avoided in diabetes and grapes in hypertensive patients and while cooking care should be taken that more of baked vegetables should be taken than fried ones.
4) Pulses: a vegeterians highest and valuble source of protein they are a part of a healthy diet especially in children and young adults but when taken in excess can cause gastric problems
5) Cottage cheese: another high protein food containing a less amount of fats. Regular cottage cheese only has 4% of fat by weight, while low-fat has only 2%. It contains protein, calcium, and iron. A half-cup of the cheese has 14 grams of protein. This is about as much as 2 ounces of cooked lean meat, poultry, or fish. The same serving size also has 77 milligrams of calcium.
6) Whole grains: carbs are necessary ,,, very much necessary but they should be taken with care and the main preferences should be for brown rice , wheat, jowar, ragi, bulgur, barley, oats, brown rice, farro, quinoa and wheat berries.
7) Meat : red meat a strict no no,,,,, my view of 5 healthy meats are as follows --- turkey , pork ,ham, chicken and sometimes beef and a considerable portion should be added in daily diet.
And my final word ,,,, EAT HEALTHY LIVE HEALTHY
