How many times have we heard that carbohydrates should not be consumed in excess because fat? In this case, it should clarify that these substances are only present in the pasta or bread, but also in many vegetables, fruits and vegetables. On the other hand, intake is important for the large amount of energy that can bring us. Thus, we must carefully choose those foods, and still be healthy, may provide the minimum daily amount of carbohydrates necessary for our body to function properly.

You may also have heard from time to time to skip a meal can help you lose weight. Nothing is further from the truth. As I reflect on this space in previous articles, it is best to make several meals a day, about five or so.

Another myth that we would like to clarify: “olive oil is not fattening.” Its use is recommended, however, we must bear in mind that, like other types of oil, add calories we must reduce, as far as possible, their use.

Also common is the idea that it is better not to drink water during meals. However, the water, just as it lacks color and flavor, he provides not a single calorie and fat therefore not absolutely nothing. Moreover, by producing the feeling that your stomach is full we will feel more satisfied and avoid the consumption of other foods that do provide a significant caloric intake.

Yes, try these fruits are not fried or take too much salt, since you care your own weight and blood pressure. Legumes, grain and vegetable preparations such as chard or spinach also provide us with a good amount of magnesium.

Come up with a funny word: tryptophan, which as you wore before is an amino acid forms of animal protein. Therefore, it is not difficult to assume that is present in meat, eggs or fish. Note that the first two foods should be eaten in moderation. If you do not like fish, you have no excuses because certain fruits such as pineapples and bananas, also contain this amino acid. Remember his name: tryptophan. It is easy to forget.

Time now for vitamin B-6. Why is it important to eat? Because it is indispensable for the synthesis of serotonin, and considering the tryptophan and the formation of myelin that covers nerve cells, a substance essential for these cells to transmit messages properly. Note that its deficiency can cause nervousness and anxiety.
