Problems of modern diet
Eating is a part of everyone’s life and although it has a great effect on a lot of things, many people don’t seem to think about it too much. Only if we think of it on a personal scale what we eat determines how much energy we will have during the day and not only the quantity but the quality of this energy. I think this carelessness happens for a very simple reason, that in 21st-century food is so easily available (especially for people living in the western society) that you can find something to eat wherever you are and whatever you do.
Basics of nutrition
Some diets say you should avoid carbs, and some say to stay away from fats. Although are these really based on hard facts? If we look at the definition of nutrients it states that these provide energy to our body and it can’t be a coincidence that all these things are listed here. Our body has basic needs for these different groups of nutrients as they work in synergy and it is important to keep our intake balanced to have a healthy diet.
