Check your weight and stay active at all times
Weigh yourself once a month and check your Body Mass Index
(BMI) and Body Mass Index (BMI) falls within the range of normal weight. The
BMI is an index that takes into account the weight of the individual in
relation to his height. It is calculated by dividing the weight (in kg) by the
square of the height (in meters).
The World Health Organization (WHO or WHO) has used BMI to
classify weight categories:
This classification is valid only for adult individuals and
is independent of the age and gender of the individual. This classification
also does not take into account the relative percentages of lean mass and fat
mass.
If your weight does not fall within the normal weight range,
consult your doctor and consult a nutrition specialist. Avoid unbalanced or
very drastic "do it yourself" diets, which can be harmful to your
health. Remember that a good diet should always include all foods in as
balanced a way as possible.
Achieving a correct body weight is not only achieved through
a balanced diet but also through a more physically active life. To avoid a
sedentary lifestyle, get used to carrying out daily activities using muscles
rather than machines: for example, walk instead of using the car, go up and
down stairs rather than take the elevator, do small housework manually.
Consume
more grains, legumes, vegetables and fruits
Cereals, legumes,
vegetables and fruit are important foods because they provide carbohydrates
(especially starch and fiber) but also vitamins, minerals and organic acids.
Additionally, grains and legumes are also good sources of protein.
In addition, the consumption of an adequate amount of fruit
and vegetables allows to reduce the energy density of the diet. This is not
only because the fat content and overall caloric intake are limited but also
because the satiating power of these foods is particularly high.
So, how to behave?
• Eat more servings of fresh fruit and vegetables every day.
• Increase your
consumption of fresh and dried legumes (chickpeas, beans, peas, broad beans and
lentils).
• Consume bread, pasta, rice and other grains regularly,
preferably whole grains.
• When you can, choose products made from wholemeal flours
and not with the simple addition of bran or other fibers.
