Bread is not fattening, the whole grains and fat nor thin plants are always healthy, as a guide to myth food, prepared by the Confederation of Consumers and Users (CECU), which aims to demystify false claims and beliefs about food and that are installed with strength in society.
Thus, with a grant from the National Institute of Consumption (INC), CECU asked consumers to make claims of this type known for its scientific study and conclude its accuracy, including the results in a guide on ‘food myths Falsos ‘.
In addition, another guide has been published on ‘healthy eating habits’ which give the keys of the Mediterranean diet or how to achieve an appropriate weight through a balanced diet and regular exercise.
In the first part of this guide explains the basics of healthy eating, describing the food pyramid and the Mediterranean diet and then exposing the food groups, demonstrating the need to incorporate a sufficient amount of water, avoid fat or consumed only occasionally sweets, soft drinks or fast food. It emphasizes the importance of exercise throughout the week.
Thus, recommends CECU a varied diet, trying to eat every day from all food groups, five servings of fruits and vegetables a day, with five meals, moderate consumption of fast food, enjoy food, discard idea of good and bad foods, avoid snacks between meals, drink plenty of water and perform 30 minutes of daily physical exercise.
