What is the worst nutritional mistake of all? Today I'm going to tell you a bunch of things about healthy eating that you didn't know, in fact, a bunch of things about eating that you knew, but you let yourself get confused by the excess of things that people say out there! The worst mistake is not eating vegetables, legumes and fruits! They contain water, soluble and insoluble fiber, prebiotics, antioxidants, proteins (depending on), vitamins, minerals, complex carbohydrates and zero cholesterol! The fresher the better. How to divide your plate – half should be vegetables and legumes. 1 quarter of proteins of your choice as long as they are of high biological value. Animal or vegetable? It depends? Both can be adequate. And eggs? They have cholesterol and high biological value protein. Can I eat them? Let's see this in the video! How much cholesterol is in an egg? Around 180 to 200mg (it can vary a lot depending on size and origin). Cholesterol – Most of your cholesterol is produced in the liver. Cholesterol is essential for the production of steroid hormones – among them sex hormones such as testosterone and estrogen. Your diet influences your cholesterol, but only to a certain extent. As I said, the cholesterol in your body does not come from the cholesterol you ingest. Your diet can influence your blood cholesterol to a certain extent, but you may need to treat it with medication. What is the best source of energy? Simple vs. complex carbohydrates? Are you weak and in need of energy? Sugar and sweets have a lot of energy, right? But is it a good thing? No. Foods full of simple carbohydrates will give you that energy boost, but what our body will understand: There is a lot of sugar available, insulin increases, the sugar has already been absorbed, blood glucose drops. And then what? Weakness and hunger...more desire for sweets. Is everything natural good? No. Of course not, but ultra-processed foods full of "before" are certainly not the best option. Probiotics - ah, probiotics, generally well accepted as health promoters. The name itself suggests probiotic - for life, in favor of life. What are probiotics? These are microorganisms that, when ingested in sufficient quantities, provide health benefits. Probiotics are good, but do you know what's better? Food! Healthy food has been proven to alter the composition of fecal flora. In other words, eating a healthy diet has been proven to stimulate the development of a healthy microbiome. As I've said several times here, there's no magic pill. There's no point in taking your probiotics, coenzyme Q10, magnesium, lemon juice, vitamin D (did I forget any?) and then not worrying about what you eat when it's time to eat. Eating sweets, cakes, candies, fried foods, snacks, soda, ultra-processed foods, sausages, cold cuts, canned foods, sweeteners... Why are studies on nutrition so confusing? Let's see that in the video too! Two years ago, I had the idea of ​​recording a video diary where I stopped drinking coffee for 30 days. After the initial headaches, I ended up stopping recording, but if you guys are up for doing it with me, I will! Are you up for it? Send us your comments. So, are you lacking energy? Do you drink coffee? Energy drinks... right? Wrong! Coffee and energy drinks will indeed give you a boost due to the caffeine and taurine (and lots of sugar...) but this boost is not real. You lose the perception of tiredness, but you don't actually feel more energetic. If you are suffering from a lack of energy... first, seek medical attention to find out if it is not an organic problem. But if this cause is ruled out, it may be time to take your foot off the gas, respect your limits and rest so that you can then pick up the pace, or perhaps a new pace. Improve your diet, exercise, sleep well... Oh, DR., but I don't have time. Okay? But nature doesn't care about that. Our body can tolerate short periods of excess, but staying at this pace will cause you problems... and then by the time you go to take care of yourself, many times the damage has already been done. I don't want to be fatalistic or pessimistic, I want you to take care of yourself.
