Effective diets are not just about losing weight, but about a healthy lifestyle. They should provide the body with the necessary nutrients, reduce the risk of chronic diseases, and be convenient for long-term compliance, explains nutritionist Oleg Shvets on Facebook.
Key principles of healthy eating
Balance. The best diets include carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals. Carbohydrates with high fiber content (whole grains, legumes, vegetables) support intestinal health, and healthy fats (omega-3, olive oil, nuts) promote heart health.
Reducing disease risks. A diet rich in fiber, antioxidants, and healthy fats can help prevent cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancer.
Flexibility. The best diets allow for adaptation to individual preferences, cultural backgrounds, and budgets, making them easy to follow.
