Unfortunately, many people believe that healthy eating consists of diets, but this is a misconception. However, you need to constantly monitor your weight and diet. That is why you should know, study and follow the basic rules of healthy eating.
Healthy food is a food that provides the body with all the necessary substances for maintaining health – proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, macro - and microelements, and other biologically important components. Many people believe that if you listen to yourself, you can understand which products are beneficial and feel good, and which are not. Of course, you need to respect the needs of your body and the body itself, be an ally, not an enemy, but at the same time you need to listen to the recommendations of scientists who are constantly working on the basic principles of proper nutrition.

You should know that the concept of healthy eating has age-related features and characteristics. It is equally important to eat right at any age, but the needs of the body differ significantly in children, middle-aged and elderly people. It is important for children to get enough nutrients and vitamins for growth and development of the body, but adults with an already formed body and metabolism should be reasonable to approach their taste preferences. So what are these current scientific recommendations?
