20 самых полезных продуктов всех времен и народов

Healthy nutrition is a food that provides growth, normal development and vital activity of a person, contributing to the strengthening of his health and the prevention of diseases. Adherence to the rules of healthy eating combined with regular exercise reduces the risk of chronic diseases and disorders, such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and cancer.

Modern science conducts numerous studies to optimize the diet to prevent major chronic diseases. The first full-scale study, which confirmed that a healthy diet can significantly reduce the problems with cardiovascular diseases, obesity and diabetes, was the project "North Karelia", which started in Finland in 1973. For 35 years the mortality of cardiovascular diseases in the population of the North Karelia region has decreased by 7 times. This result formed the basis of the Pan-European Health Strategy 2020.

Of course, the composition of an ideal human diet depends on the type of activity, lifestyle and place of residence, but there are more or less universal tips developed by health organizations:

  • Limit energy from fat. Saturated fats (animals, solid vegetable fats) - should be up to 1/3 of consumed fats, the remaining 2/3 fats should be unsaturated, liquid fats. When you consume milk and dairy products, you should give preference to products with reduced fat content. Try not to eat food that contains trans fatty acids.
