But, as they say, everything should be in moderation. Even malnutrition. We must not forget that our body is not a machine, but a complex living mechanism. He needs vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats and carbohydrates. It is vitamins that ensure the proper functioning of all organs of the body. Minerals are the building blocks of our cells. Proteins are the constituent of every living cell, thanks to which the body maintains hormonal balance, supports immunity and ensures the work of the gastrointestinal tract. Fats perform a protective, energetic and plastic function. Carbohydrates provide a normal exchange of proteins and fats in our body.

As you can see, to exclude any products completely from the diet is not worth it( unless, of course, you are not allergic).Try to choose the best option for yourself. Dishes should not be high-calorie, but their composition should provide the necessary norm of important substances. The food should be balanced. We must take care of both our beauty and our health. If you decide to seriously take care of your health and are willing to spend time on important figures, we recommend using a table that shows the calories in the products. So you will have the opportunity not only to charge the body with energy, but also to provide yourself with vitamins.

Talking about such things as calories in foods and proper nutrition, we can not fail to mention that physical exertion, fresh air and sunlight are also needed by our body. And further. Try to always remain in a good mood, smile more often, communicate with family and friends, do your favorite thing, and make sure that beauty and health will never leave you!
